The first few days of my sixties went something like this; detox, detox, detox and live vicariously through my friends who are still working teachers. And then Joan Rivers dies!
I get very attached to celebrities who visit my living room on a regular basis. Losing one of them is like losing a part of myself.
Joan Rivers was one of the most politically incorrect women of my time and I loved her for it. She always said what we only dared to think. Most importantly, she used humour to deal with her own mortality and imperfections. Me too, I like poking fun at myself.
Best of all, she gave her daughter the finest gift a parent can give her children; she claimed she had an amazing life and made light of her death. I admire her for that!
Rest in peace, Joan Rivers, and thank you for restoring my right to bare legs :-)!
