Solid Gold Grief

Good God. I happened to catch this on the evening news, and my jaw hung open. I buried both my parents before I turned 19, and to neither funeral did I show up in gold lame.

Ok, so there’s a cultural thing going on here for sure. But I can’t think of any culture where gold lame or giant knock-off label-whore sunglasses are appropriate at a funeral. Some cultures throw the wives on their husband’s pyre, some people dance or drink. But showing up looking like a goddam whore is inappropriate everywhere.

The dead woman, Diane Anderson, had a whole bunch of babies by a whole bunch of different men. Looks like she and her sister (Sophia of the sunglasses) made an excellent impression on daughter Ieisha. Watch the video.

UPDATED WITH PHOTO:

Does this look like any funeral you’ve seen, excepting when some thug gang-banging rapper gets his just desserts on the streets of Southern Los Angeles? How long before it’s Ieisha’s funeral, or that of some baby-daddy she hooks up with? Is this how kids are being raised in North Toronto? Enough with multiculturalism - time to call in child services.
