Jason Allen, hot-shot clothes designer, jet set king
\ndied today at age 36.
\nBurnt alive from a fire in his Manhattan apartment.
\nHis name frequently mentioned in gossip columns,
\nCosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, People Magazine.
\nHis designs were worn at the Emmys, Golden Globes, Oscar night.
\nHe was photographed everywhere, an entourage at his side.
\nI once saw Jason on Oprah,
\nhis pretty face in a smiling glow as he proclaimed,
\n\u201cI\u2019m positively, absolutely, 100 percent heterosexual!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jason Allen died in a fire last night
\nno makeup or special camera lens will hide his burnt toast skin,
\na closed casket, but it will be an elegant funeral just the same.
\nThe NYPD fire chief said, \u201cThe fire started due to an electrical malfunction.\u201d
\nThe coroner stated, \u201cWe made a positive ID through dental X-rays.\u201d
\nA spokesperson for his company said,\u00a0\u201cWearing clothes
\ndesigned by Jason Allen was like choosing\u00a0a lifestyle.”<\/p>\n
Now wait, why am I wasting my time reading about his death?
\nIs it to gloat that this pretty boy clothes designer is dead?
\nAnyone who says, \u201cI\u2019m positively, absolutely, 100 percent heterosexual\u201d
\nmaybe deserves to be burnt to a crisp.
\nMaybe his death was as high brow as his designs.
\nDying in a fire is more valiant than dying in a car crash,
\nmore romantic than a drug overdose,
\nmore dramatic than crashing to the ground from rock climbing.<\/p>\n
Jason Allen, hot-shot clothes designer, jet set king
\ndied today at age 36.<\/p>\n
