As a kid I had a T-shirt with the above picture across my chest. She's definitely the first woman that grabbed my attention. Toys and puppies were of little importance after seeing Farrah.
The end of Farrah Fawcett's life may have played out in the tabloids, but she belonged to us first. And by "us" I mean Generation X, generally, and the boys who cut their teeth chewing the plastic wrap off her rolled-up posters. She was our "first" -- the leggy blond model from Texas imprinted on our brains eons before the likes of Jerry Hall or Anna Nicole Smith sashayed into our field of vision.

Feel the gen x goodness.
So sad for her to die and the suffering she was going through seemed so horrible. Not what you want to see ahead for anybody.
