L'WREN SCOTT SUICIDE and FUNERAL : I'M ADDICTED TO THE NEWS COVERAGE! WHY?

I have a really lousy cell phone that won't download any apps, but it does have a news feed on it that you can program. I chose to follow the news of the suicide of L'Wren Scott, high fashion designer and girlfriend (?) of Mick Jagger for thirteen years closely.  I normally have the phone shut off all day, but I was checking that news hourly, all day, all night, and when I woke up in the middle of the night.

Not an especially fashionable person, I might not have heard of L'Wren if she were not associated with Mick Jagger.  In fact, I first picked up the news because I was reading a book about the Rolling Stones and picked up that they were on tour. 

The news was SPECULATIVE and REPETITIVE and therefore not much was new.  As usual I suspected that the speculation became the official word and that reports of family strife were probably exaggerated.  I thought how tough it must be to live your life and then have your death in the public eye, and the funeral is today!  (That is, if they have the tight security at Hollywood Forever cemetery in place.  I read guests will be delivered by car to tents.  The tents should keep the photographers from taking close ups of Mick and family and friends crying their eyes out.

WHY AM I SO HUNG UP ON THIS STORY?

Well, I think it has to do with something that I have not seen any coverage on, and that is that L'Wren was raised as the adopted daughter of a devout Latter Day Saints Family and I wonder if she is still a believer or what it is that she (or Mick) actually believe, if anything, spiritually,

My guess is that she left that religion long ago, the way she left Utah for Paris modeling or Hollywood Stylist work, or New York based fashion design.  One of the reasons I think this is that Latter Day Saints STRESS MARRIAGE, especially early marriage, and HAVING CHILDREN.  I think that there are more babies being born to Latter Day Saints Couples than Catholic Couples here in the United States.  I read that L'Wren was married to two millionaires before she chose to be not married to Mick Jagger for all these years, both marriages ending in divorce, who knows why.  She was career oriented or she had fertility issues or they did or maybe she didn't want to bring children into marriages that ended a couple years into it.

My feeling is that because she was raised in this conservative religion that expects marriage and children she may have felt a failure and that may have been more important a failure than a fashion business that needed loans or restructuring or bankruptcy.

I wish she were more FEMINIST!  But I think her feminine fashions were all about men and women having very different roles in life.

I too am speculating.

All for now,

Sister

MORMON CHURCH TARGETED AT KISSING BASH by GAY MEN

Click on the link above to get to the Yahoo news article about the Gay Activists who are having a kissing bash to get back at the Mormon - Latter Day Saints Church - for their activism to keep gays from marriage.

Now I know you want my opinion. The other day some guy was joking with me and said "YOU ARE GOING TO MARRY ME, AREN'T YOU?"


I said, "NO WAY, you know the only ones who want to get married these days are gay men!"

YES, I AM FOR GAY MARRIAGE, and YES, I DO THINK IT WILL LEAD TO OTHER FORMS OF MARRIAGE LIKE OLD FASHIONED POLYGAMY BEING LEGAL AGAIN!

The fact is MARITAL STATUS SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO HAVE DISCOUNTS IN LIFE ! SINGLE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS PAYING MORE TO TRAVEL, FOR FOOD, and two people who are married and who cohabitate legally get HEALTH INSURANCE for far less than two single people who cohabitant as roommates, MARRIAGE HAS FINANCIAL and LEGAL BENEFITS and that is what it's often about - not love!

FEMINIST MORMON HOUSEWIVES

OK, this group, as housewives, probably don't qualify as NMNK, however, I think that their feminist stance when it comes to polygamy might just carry over to married, no children or eventually never married no children. This one is suitable controversial and there is a link to a lot of blogs on it.... so click on that title! Sister
