MODEL KILLS HERSELF BY JUMPING FROM THE 9TH FLOOR OF HER BUILDING...


News in fashion - this article posted on The Fashion Spot today... and I can't stop thinking about it:

"Stunning Kazakh fashion model Ruslana Korshunova plunged to her death from the ninth floor of her lower Manhattan building yesterday (Saturday) in an apparent suicide, police sources and neighbors said.

Ruslana, 20, a long-haired lovely who once graced the cover of Russian Vogue, plummeted onto busy Water St. in the Financial District around 2:30 p.m., according to sources and building residents.

Witnesses to Korshunova’s deadly spill had no idea that the stunner - shoeless and dressed in blue jeans and a purple tank top - was a famous model but noticed her beauty right away.

“All I saw was something moving out of the corner of my eye, and then boom,” said Steve Metzger, 36. “It sounded like a bass drum when she hit the ground. “She was a pretty girl.”

Investigators said there were no signs of a struggle inside Korshunova’s apartment and believe she jumped from her balcony, which is next to a skyscraper construction site, a law enforcement source said.

Dubbed “fashion’s muse of the moment” by the Sunday Times of London in 2005, Korshunova distinguished herself with locks of hair that once draped down to her thighs.

She was often photographed with her mane cascading around her.

Long hair is a symbol of beauty in Kazakhstan, where she was born in the then-capital city of Almaty on July 2, 1987.

A doorman at her 12-story building - where Korshunova lived for months in a studio converted into a one-bedroom - said the model seemed happy when she came home about 4 a.m. Saturday..."

Oh sure, like anyone knows if anyone else 'seems happy.'

I have always had a bit of vertigo. I can't stand near the edge of a balcony or glass elevator or look over a boat railing because I picture myself FALLING.

The thing about plunging to your death is that once you jump, there is all that time for remorse.

People from the Pacific Northwest are used to a different emotional climate. I know a lot of kids who killed themselves, and while it's always sad, I really understand that some people just don't want to do it anymore.

I love her Rapunzel hair.

Been thinking about the power derived from hair quite a bit lately... maybe when she cut her thigh-length tresses it all went to hell.

your supposition is correct...

"they" suggest
endlessly to do things
they would not do themselves

to get to true love

they will suggest
"to save "us" is to do wrong"

but when you ask them if they would do the same

they will say
"no, we believe in GOD,
...not like you"

it is then you will realize
their device
was to destroy your true love
