Here's how Cleveland is giving tribute to Michael Stanley:
One of the best obits I've ever read:
The Best Location in the Nation, has always been so loyal to their hometown heroes!

I loved her clothing (as well as Scott McClintock). Always thought her clothing was one of those brands that didn't resell well, but she had some really classy pieces, especially black velvet.

I love finding Gunne Sax dresses. I didn't realize she wasn't the original owner.

Yeah, I always thought Gunne Sax sold like crazy & for big $$$. I always find Scott & sometimes Jessica, but never Gunne Sax, which were so popular in my youth. I hated them personally, not my style, but I know she had huge success with them & they were well done if you like that esthetic. RIP.

I liked Gunne Sax back in the day but it was always ran so small. I wore a size 9 and even the 13s didn't fit.

RIP, Prince Philip. I always loved his wit. He and Queen Elizabeth were always my favorite rulers. I am saddened at the loss.
Didn't realize he and Elizabeth were married 73 years.

Oh man, it's a rough day here :-( I know most of you aren't as into music as I am, but no doubt, most of you own the seminal album Bat Out of Hell or know Bonnie Tyler's epic Total Eclipse of the Heart. The man responsible for those (and much more) Jim Steinman has passed away at 73:-( Epic songwriter & producer with a bombastic, almost classical or Broadway style to his music. He was known as much for his musical style, as the actual compositions. Around my house, we often refer to certain songs as Steinman-esque. Bat Out of Hell is a masterpiece that defined a decade. Apparently he worked with Celine Dion too, though IDK anything about her. Per TMZ, some sort of sudden medical emergency :-( www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/jim-steinman-best-songs-1158493/
