The Passing Of Annette

  • Tuesday, April 9, 2013

My very first hearthrob crush was Annette Funicello. At the young age of six, I watched her on the Mickey Mouse Club.  

I knew then and there that I was 100 percent hetrosexual before hetrosexual was even a word.

Rest in peace, beautiful lady. You will always be first in my heart.
