Goodbye Lena

I don't know about you, but Lena Horne (June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010) was my absolute, most favorite icon. Words are only too poor to describe the size of that woman, whom I deeply admired and loved... Known for her involvement in many social and political organizations, with an unsurpassed class, talent and beauty, in the perfect and complete sense of the word, she didn't fit into stereotypes and inspired countless people with her life and example.

Ms. Horne: I know it's strange, but... I even cried a little when I heard you passed away. I know you will be singing with the angels up above, but still... I will miss you, Lady Lena. You will always be you, and you will be like nobody else.
