Lately I've been reminiscing a lot about my days being a hardcore Michael Jackson fan. I still am, but things have changed a lot since he has passed away. But yeah anyway, something really funny just slipped into my mind again which put a smile on my face and I just had to share.
I remember that back in the days I would spent hours each day on fanboards, one of them being called MJJC. So anyway, let's rewind back to April/May '09. I remember that this was a period where a lot of new pictures of him were being released on a daily basis. Keep in mind, that this was something extremely rare for us (he would sometimes just ''dissapear'' for a while or not go out in public and we wouldn't see a picture of him for months), but nevertheless everyone was super stoked.
Anywaaaaaaaaaays, Michael was on some real high fashion shit around that time. Rockin' the streets wearing Balmain and Givenchy which he would always combine with a pair of black pants (except for the time he wore those horrible Ed Hardy PJ pants out in public lol). I remember that one member made a remark about this, saying something along the lines of ''MICHAEL IF YOU READ THIS, CAN YOU WEAR BLUE PANTS FOR ONCE.''.
He was wearing blue jeans instead of the black pants he would always wear.
I think most of us thought that was just a coincidence and we did not really payed any further notice to it anymore. Until new pictures were being released and someone pointed out that he was ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. And when I am talking about ''always'', I mean literally always. So again, one of the member wrote a post which was targeted at him: ''MICHAEL IF YOU READ THIS, SHOW US YOUR BEAUTIFUL EYES''.
Next public appearance, he was spotted without his trademark sunglasses.
Most of us got pretty suspicious then, but I think the thing that did it for us was when someone wrote something along the lines of ''MICHAEL IF YOU READ THIS, WEAR SOMETHING DISNEY RELATED!!''.
THE NEXT DAY THE GUY WAS WEARING A FREAKING PLUTO SHIRT. I AM SORRY, BUT CAN NOBODY TELL ME THAT THIS WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE. ESPECIALLY WHEN MICHAEL WAS ONLY WEARING HIGH FASHION DESIGNER BRANDS AROUND THAT TIME.
The board literally went nuts. Soon the whole topic was filled with ''MICHAEL IF YOU READ THIS CAN YOU PLEASE...'' messages. ''MICHAEL IF YOU READ THIS CAN YOU GET CURLS?''
NEXT WEEK AFTER, MICHAEL WENT BACK TO THE CURLS (for his gurls, MJ fam knows what I am talking about lol).
By then, most of us were pretty convinced that Michael was actually a member on the board especially since a lot of us remembered that Karen Faye in the past had often told him about the fanboards. I remember so many female members spazzing out, being scared that Michael would go into the ''Manhood thread'' and read what kind of things they had written about him. I think the title pretty much speaks for itself about what was being discussed in that thread lol.
But yeah, this is just something small that popped into my mind and just had to share.Those were the days..
