A Salute to the King of Virgos

Today wouldn’t be complete without a little shout-out to my all-time favorite Virgo, Michael Jackson. It goes without saying that his influence and legacy will live on forever. I remember when I used to show up to my first agency job and the boys would say, “You look like Michael Jackson!” Ha. I thanked them for the compliment! I guess I’ve just always been drawn to his tough, military-influenced style. Virgos tend to put up walls and to be very private — we have our public and private selves. Michael, through all the health issues and adversity, kept his head held high and never complained. Because he never over-shared, the media felt the need to dig deeper. In reality, we should be grateful that he shared as much as he did with us and gave back so much. Happy birthday, MJ!

P.S. My outfit was slightly influenced by this classic early 90s look.

    Awww. I love this.

    I still remember those NUBBY JACKSON posters you designed years and years ago — I had one hanging in my office for the longest time. I’ll always associate you with MJ…and the other way around, too. :)

    Also, LMP’s pants are insane. And her waist is the size of my pinkie.

      Anna @ D16: Ha, those posters were from so long ago!! I am glad someone understands the magic he had…..Lisa Marie had some mad style. Everyone else from the early to mid 90s looks so dated…she still looks classic. Amazing.

    I never really liked MJ…until now! You’ve made me look a little closer at him, and now I can really admire MJ for his extraordinary talents and soft-spoken style. I wish I could have seen the Nubby Jackson posters! You are truly adorable…I always say that I wish I could shrink down my favorite people and carry them in my pocket…you would definitely be one of them! :-)

      Lola: I understand that MJ was polarizing to some people or that they just couldn’t relate for whatever reason and that’s understandable — not all of us are required ot love the same things! Though, I am glad you’ve had a change of heart. Whether it’s for his style, talent, music, personality or all of the above, he had to much to offer.

    You translated Michael Jackson’s look really well into your own more feminine style– it’s amazing!

    Also, I wonder if you’d ever consider recreating Lisa Marie’s look in that picture. I think the pants and shoes are killer.

    • Nubby says:

      Autopsy Jude: You are so right, I was thinking the same thing! Her outfit with the chunky shoes and high waisted pants is very of-the-moment.
