Dave, I get it now.LOL! Nothing wrong with a sense of humor!
First of all, Tex, this wasn't "a parent who just killed their kid." This was PATSY RAMSEY, the mother of all mothers! If that's not enough of an illustration for you, I'll elaborate in a minute.
And I don't think she WAS thinking. That's just it. I think it was her instinct, without conscious thought, for the most part. That's what I mean.
No, I don't think you do. But maybe this will clear it up. This is what I wrote a few days ago:
Does anyone remember that picture of JB done up like Marilyn Monroe, complete with the name badge? I do. Now, let's walk this through: what do JB and MM have in common? Well, they were both known for their good looks, and they both died tragically. THUS, my realization.
I have no doubt that it was Patsy who thought that little performance up. Who better to associate your beauty queen daughter with than the most famous blonde of all time? But, what most people overlook is this: one of the big reasons why Marilyn's legend is so strong is because she died tragically. Marilyn died young and at the peak of her fame, her beauty undiminished. She was not allowed to grow old and obscure. (Case in point: Elizabeth Taylor. I love Liz, always will. But I can't help but wonder ['cause I'm weird that way] what it would have been like if she had died fairly young, before all of her health problems and failed marriages relegated her to the pages of supermarket rags. Say, now that I think of it, Patsy kind of resembled Liz, didn't she? Dark-haired, great-looking in her day, health problems, getting older...hmm. This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode!)
Well, what happened to Marilyn happened to JB, and I can't help but wonder if for the same reason. Remember when I gave that spiel about how a person can achieve greater fame dead than alive (ex: "Che" Guevara) [Ask me later?] I don't necessarily mean that JB's death was premeditated (although, there may be those who do). I'm just saying that, if it did start out as an unintentional killing, it might explain to all those naysayers why 911 wasn't called and why all of the staging was done: a child beauty queen, so destined for greatness killed in a common, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill, humdrum domestic incident? That would NEVER do! She was so spectacular in life. She HAD to be spectacular in death. Nothing but the best (or worst, depending on how you see it) for JB. And she IS spectacular in death! Her death made her more well-known to more people than all of her performances put together. Not to mention that it's almost 12 years and people STILL remember her! But a child beauty queen murdered by a revenge-driven pedophile terrorist in her palazzo home right under the noses of her wealthy parents? How cool is that!
I admit, I'm just spitballing, but in good faith, based on the opinions of people like Mike Kane, who said Patsy loved being famous as the mother of a dead beauty queen, and Patsy's own behavior, namely putting such a profound, almost obsessive investment in her daughter and likening her to beautiful blondes who died tragically, such as Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana. (Remember how Patsy couldn't WAIT to comment on Diana's passing in regard to JB? So do I.)
Read it, please.
You misunderstand, Tex. I'm not saying it made her evil, or even wrong. I'm saying that it was her way. It's what she knew.
You know, this is kind of a cruel irony. For years, people tell me, "show me something in their past that makes you think they could do this."
THAT"S WHAT I'M DOING! And for what? So my theories can be turned into cheap amusement? I put a lot of work into this place. I'd hate to think I wasted it.
I'm saying nobody would make an effort to "doll Up" a child they had just accidentally murdered.
Your position is it was just instinct, like a reflex...that is an interesting theory..
I personally think dressing little girls up like little harlots is wrong. My in laws show pics of dance competitions and pagents with a nine year old with enough make up on for a 35 yr old and some outrageous outfit....it's not good.
