Daul Kim

I know I never update this, I practically abandoned it. But this came to my attention.

That is the blogspot of a supermodel named Daul Kim. On November 19, 2009, she committed suicide by hanging herself. Her boyfriend found her dead in her apartment. I forget exactly how I found out about it, I think I saw it in a girls fashion blog. But I googled it, and found Daul's blog. It was a well known blog by fans, she regularly updated it with her feelings, youtube videos, and her stories about her latest modeling work. It had been made private after her death, most likely by her family.

But a few days ago, I googled it again, and found it had been made public. Ever since then, I've been reading her entries, starting with her most recent (and last) one. As I read more and more, her death has affected me to a greater degree. I get the feeling from how she talks, and what she posts, that she was actually quite a bit like me, although more creative and strange in the good way. I almost feel like I actually knew her.

It's interesting how getting an insight into a persons head can affect you.
