RIP Patrick Swayze

Such sad, sad news to post about today, ladies. After a two year battle with cancer, Patrick Swayze has passed away.

I would normally write more, but honestly, I’m a little at a loss for words here. While he has been sick, it’s hard to imagine him being gone. He has been such a part of pop-culture since Ghost and Dirty Dancing. In a year when we’ve already lost Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, it’s hard to lose another icon – and Patrick Swayze cemented his place as a pop-culture icon the moment he uttered the words “Nobody puts Baby in a corner. He will be dearly missed. Let’s keep his family in our thoughts at this time and appeal to the press to let them deal with his passing in private.

This is my favorite love scene of all time. So much love and tenderness – real intimacy without being smutty. This is a beautiful scene, so I’ll post it here to send off an incredible actor and a pop-culture icon.

Rest in Peace, Patrick.
