Oh gods. Oh, ita. Thank you, Kristen, for letting us know, and my thoughts are with you and Allyson and her family.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The status is NOT quo.
I am beyond words. So incredibly sad. I cannot imagine the board without ita. And Kristen, my deepest sympathies to you and Allyson and those who were close to her, especially that you had to find her.
I don't know what to say. I want to reach out and hold everyone's hand right now and say how much I value and care about you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Bev, thank you and JZ for letting me know. I hadn't spoken with her for a couple of months. I'm not really at the point of comprehending that I never will again.
The final Kinkaid will be dedicated to her. They wouldn't exist without her.
Fly free, superwoman. You will be all the way missed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm just catching up on Natter on a train. Im just in total shock here.

Art Crawl!!!
I hope wherever she is right now she's kravving the living hell out of someone, just for fun.
On the bus coming in - I was thinking that I'd like to beat something up myself. I'm so sad and angry at the same time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm heartbroken. The world is a sadder place today.

Sue O let me know this terrible, terrible news. I haven't posted here in years but I felt I needed to reach out and share my condolences. I'm very sad that I never got to meet ita in person.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
A light has indeed gone out in this world. Much love to all whose hearts are aching now.

Thrive to spite them
Kettlebells. Along with kravving I hope ita is doing kettlebells. That's something else she dearly missed being able to do.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So much love to everyone here, and especially to all the LAistas who cared for her with all your hearts and all your strength and every ER trip and food run and all of it. And a hearty FUCK YOU to every so-called healthcare provider who put roadblocks between ita and pain relief. Not to be in pain is such a small thing to want in this hard awful world. Fuck you all.
All her artwork. All her photos. Provocateuse and barefoot men and fierce gorgeous women. All the crinolines and stompy boots and the binder she wanted to get but hadn't yet. All the people at iO9. ita, no. Please.
