Ah, it’s good to be observant. An astute reader has pointed out the following, ahem, contradiction. In a post about Michael Jackson, presenting her tribute designs, Luxirare wrote:
“My fascination with his work has always been with how he was able to remain so innovative yet mass market; his ambition, his work ethic. In terms of work ethic, he will never be matched. He was bottom of the pyramid in terms of accessibility, yet innovative/completely unique in the way he wrote music, danced to the music, and performed the music. Very few people are able to satisfy both requirements and as such most of my respect for him lies within this fascination. It was as if he was both Thierry Mugler and Alexander Wang in one body. The power, the beauty of MJ’s music was that it didn’t matter if you were a hustler on Wall Street, a nun in rural China, a gutter punk, a socialite, or a person who hates pop music. Chances are, you liked hearing Pretty Young Thing, and you probably still do.”
“Here is my memorabilia of MJ. Since Michael Jackson was the most meticulous performer I have ever seen, I tried to apply that same meticulousness with this personal memorabilia. I doubt I came close, or ever will come close to what he became, but at least I have attempted something. I know everyone is “over hearing about it” but it took me a month to complete because I had to do it little by little, and if it was up to me, I would have shown this much earlier.”

And yet, in a comment here (at Rackk and Ruin) on a post about Michael Jackson’s jackets:

LuxiRare Said…..
this is so funny because i bet Decarnin was inspired by these band jackets Jackson used to wear in the 80s and now he’s wearing the fashionized version…
He looks really amazing in it even though he is totally creepy .

Hahahahahaha! Now what?! Rock on!
Ah the internet, it knows your secrets little ones!
Bad fashion and bad writing.
I’ve rarely seen so much bad taste on one spot.
But her dedication, conviction and, above all, presentation skills are …. blowjob!
LOL – how to be found out!
sorry, where is the “contradiction” here?
I barely made it through that paragraph. A nauseating read.
“I doubt I came close, or ever will come close to what he became”
maybe she was going for a creepy looking jacket?
where is the contradiction? He was creepy. And a genius…
again, Wolf, where is the contradiction?
SW, I don’t see the contradiction either.
However, it would be best if her blog consisted of nothing but photographs. The way she abuses and misuses language and her sycophantic tone are beyond annoying.
Skye – Yep, worse than a paper trail.
dust – The bombastic tone ALMOST gives me a handjob, almost.
Make Do – Haha!
annemarie -Come on, you’re being stubborn. I’ll help though. Before MJ’s death, he is dismissed as “…he is totally creepy.” Post death (after everyone is all boo hoo, we lost an amazing person!” and it’s:”innovative, completely unique, the power and beauty, most meticulous performer ever, took me a month to complete, doubt I will ever come close to what he became” (Oh, you mean, totally creepy?! I think you HAVE become totally creepy, writer of this fatuous and dishonest garbage)
Emily T – Ha, Same here.
Scott_Landez – Landez, you are officially a troll at this point. How can I help you?
HelOnWHeels – I don’t mind bullshit that much, it’s the highfalutin bullshit that is bothersome. Photos alone would be better.
for the record I am not luxirare but you need to listen to this song and get over your obsession.

you’re reaching at the bottom of the barrel, people can admire someone and still find them creepy at the same time. it’s like loving karl lagerfeld but thinking he should have retired a decade ago because he’s bringing chanel down. not a contradiction, just proof that we like certain traits in people and can overlook other flaws.
hahahahhaha at the comment above me!
mariah – Hahahahahha! Your views on Karl Lagerfeld are enough for another post. Ridiculous! You write it, though. I’m not really interested in him.
eliza -Ditto.
Perfect example of jumping on the deceased Michael bandwagon. Gross. And seriously, gutter punks like PYT?? And nuns in rural China??
Holy shit!
“Thierry Mulder and Alexander Wang in one body” WTF?!
I hate Alexander Wank, or rather his designs…actually thats wrong i dislike the poor critters that wears them holey jumpers and ripped up tee’s…
Wank wank wank!!
fashion herald – Thank god.
nic – Don’t forget Thierry Mugler.
Not the same Luxirare BTW…anyone could have posted that last comment about MJ.
Duh.
