What about Umar or was it Omar? What became of him? If I recall however vaguely, correctly, he posted result after a year, looked depigged having gone from from dark indian look to a fair palestinian look... but now its been a couple years or more already.. He disappeared too!!

Yeah the passage on Yahoo was sooooo sad. I pictured her going to the beach back in her country and walking deeper and deeper into the water and getting swallowed up, just over a cosmetic affliction... yep so sad!

Yikes! RIP Teenypatches!

Committed suicide after fail? What does this mean?

I don't know, I just googled it again and don't find it, was from a whiles back. Maybe MAHARANI read it or remembers what happened exactly, to poor Teenypatches! :(

No this is the first that I am hearing of this. The board was very active at one time and then it got really quiet, so I stopped visiting as often. I must have missed when it was brought up.

She has been playing on my mind since you mentioned it and I still can't believe it. Wish there was something someone could have done. I hope she is in a happier place now.

From what Golden_Boy has said it appears that she did not achieve her lightening goal and decided she could not go on. So sad...

Yeah like Maharani explained, apparently she gave up and didn't want to live like that. Maybe people made fun of her and so on... SAD.

Ironically, it was mentioned she was on vacation in her country, so that really got to me the melodrama of her returning to her homeland to end it all cause of the patchwork of colors I guess?

That would make for a great posthumous eulogic movie piece!

Would if nothing happened to her but was caught up in the moment, and now just decided to quit the forums?

Scary and sad, if true... wow!

What a bloody shame if its true, we're lucky the news reach anybody else in the SL community.

Here's an interesting passage from a book, talking about Michael Jackson's use of Mono

The Odd Body: Mysteries of Our Weird ... - Google Books

They said he could have gone back to his original colour if he wanted to, at anytime, I doubt whether he would have seen this as an option. I think he preferred to look the way he did than go back to having colour.

^ Yeah sad sad, apparently she or he chose DEATH over going through the process in reverse :(

I'm quite positive that Michael Jackson was neither a transsexual nor a female..

^ Oops I had my glasses off when I posted that, I read she and assumed they were talking about Teenypatches not MJ, sorry.

I know that Michael Jackson was straight, he was different and soft spoken. But his whole family are that way, I used to be sooo in love with MJ when I was a kid. I swore I was going to marry him when I grew up...

I tried searching for "Teenypatches" in Google but could find nothing, anyone has the link?

Didn't he marry his derm?

Re Teenypatches - Can't find it. Yahoo! Groups Someone deleted EVERYTHING!!

It was just like 1 or 2 single messages on there, apparently friend of hers posted that she found from her mom contacting people in her computer, or book, I think? Everyone on there was talking about it for a while. Too bad nothing from there was saved or archived.

Saddest story I ever read

Well, I hope she went to get help, as that had became a sickness and unhealthy obsession for her if this did happen.

Maybe some people feel like they're a white "person" inside?

Souls have no color but yeahh obsessions are plenty abound.

Hi, Super Shallow!

Has your original question been answered to your satisfaction here, please?

Thanks!
