Anna Nicole Smith


This is probably the first picture I ever saw of Anna Nicole Smith. In 1993, her photo appeared on H&M billboard ads in bus stops all over Amsterdam. Not for very long. People were breaking the backlit ad frames and ripped the posters out. I wished I had one.
Yesterday, she died. The news networks went bezerk. Her red carpet scenes kept looping across the tv screens. I picked up the news in our Dallas office. The local tv stations in Dallas sent crews 85 miles south to Mexia, TX, where Anna Nicole grew up to ask the locals about their feelings.
If they had stopped me, I would have asked them to show one of those 1993 H&M ads from Amsterdam.
