Hero That Never Carried The O, Guess I'm Just Her

I am so thankful to have been enveloped by the warmth of Whitney’s great talents. They were undeniable and vast. Whatever her burdens, she has at last laid them down and picked up instead a crown. For truly, she was and will ever be for us — who were so captivated by her strengths — unparalleled. -Angela Bassett

Whitney Elizabeth Houston  (Aug. 9, 1963 - Feb. 11, 2012)

I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of 10 or 11, when I opened my mouth and said, ‘Oh God, what’s this?’ I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were going to have to wait. What’s in your soul is in your soul.

Like, I don’t understand how it’s been a year…I don’t understand why she’s not here anymore. RIP. :’(

surprisingly, I’m finally not teary eyed…but my heart is heavy and i don’t know how i’ll do if i hear one of her songs.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

In celebration of the late Whitney Houston, Madame Tussauds will immortalize the singer in wax, and not just once. There will be four models from her career unveiled in New York, Washington, D.C., Hollywood and Las Vegas next month. It will be the first time in Madame Tussauds’ 200-year history that four wax figures of the same person have been created. Featured looks from ‘I Look To You’, ‘Star Spangled Banner’, The Bodyguard, and ‘I Wanna Dace With Somebody’. It’s taken four months to complete the attractions at a cost of more than $1.2 million.

I love everything that picture of Whitney with the band chooses to be. I want that in a frame.
