Designer Kate Spade commits suicide.
The police said that Ms. Spade, 55, was discovered unresponsive at a Park Avenue apartment, where she had hanged herself. She had left a note, but the official did not comment on what it said. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:26 a.m.
A housekeeper found Ms. Spade in her bedroom hanging from a red scarf tied to a doorknob, the police said. She was unconscious and the housekeeper called 911.
Dangelo Barksdale in The Wire managed - sorta.
That’s sad news. I listen to a lot of the *How I Built That *podcasts, they did one on Kate Spade in 2016 or 2017. She and her husband sounded intelligent and happy, but then it was an hour-long show. 13-year-old daughter, that’s what probably sucks the most.
Lots of oxy and vodka before you sit down (or pass out as the case may be) ?
I suppose you could. But you would have to be awfully committed to the idea.
Extra money and fame can only go so far to make you happy. There is a reason they talk about the limit where more money stops making you happier. After going through some career turmoil over the last couple years I have a slightly altered perspective from what I had before.
I laugh with my wife, how would unlimited money really change things for us other than having more free time. Chocolate chip cookies are already tasty. My dogs can’t like me any more than they do. I can pay my bills, Sex is sex no matter how many zeroes in your accounts. Afternoon naps don’t get any better.
Tie the scarf to the knob, toss the scarf over the top of the door, proceed as one would expect.

I know this article is about males, it is a possiblility.

I don’t know, an afternoon nap at your chalet in Aspen would probably beat the same nap in NJ in February.
I thought the subject was “Hung like a doorknob”, then I put on my reading glasses.

Ugh. Poor girl.
Sad news.

Well, that’s why more money makes you happier up to a limit. First you need enough money to get out of Jersey.
But if I have to work full time, I don’t think I care whether I make $200k or $20M. I care if I am only making $50k because there is a lot I cannot do.But somewhere between 50 and 200 there is a line where you can do pretty much what you want.

And I already beat you to it 
I hear what you are saying, but, as my man Axe always says, “there is nothing like ‘fuck you’ money.”
Did you see this:
Born Kate Brosnahan, Spade is widely known for her eponymous brand, which she founded with her husband, Andy Spade, in the 1990s. *
…
The company was acquired by Neiman Marcus for $125 million in 2007 and Kate and Andy stepped away from day-to-day operations. Then, it was sold again in 2017 to Coach’s Tapestry Inc. for $2.4 billion**.*
That’s “fuck you money.”

That’s not all going to her though. Google says $200 million net worth which is still pretty nice…
I think I’d manage just fine with the $125 mil.

i hear you. but, can i pee in the cheerios?
on the one hand, yes, when someone leaves loved ones, this is truly tragic. but i’ve been spending a lot of time over the last year ago contemplating uncontemplatable thoughts. things like, is homo sapiens really a species of more intrinsic value than others? and if not, what are the logical consequences? or, is legislated population control an abrogation of human rights? or, is it the balance of human rights with: a) the rights of future humans? and b) the rights of every other species? and so forth. so blame that.
one of my uncontemplatable thoughts is whether there are any people, at any particular time of life, who deserve the dignity of not being considered horribly damaged if he or she takes his own life? i mean, maybe there is terrible damage as the proximate cause. but i guess it’s hunter thompson who made me start to think about this. thompson wrote, per douglas brinkley, and best-read through the prism of pro football:
No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your (old) age. Relax — This won’t hurt.

… He told me 25 years ago that he would feel real trapped if he didn’t know that he could commit suicide at any moment. I don’t know if that is brave or stupid or what, but it was inevitable. I think that the truth of what rings through all his writing is that he meant what he said. If that is entertainment to you, well, that’s OK. If you think that it enlightened you, well, that’s even better. If you wonder if he’s gone to Heaven or Hell, rest assured he will check out them both, find out which one richard millhouse nixon went to — and go there. He could never stand being bored. But there must be Football too — and Peacocks …
i’m aware that there are all sorts of perils attached to even thinking about it, but we don’t think about it, we don’t talk about it (as a society) and consequently we sort of dehumanize people, and attach to them a stigma, when they kill themselves. it’s not necessarily the way they’d want to be remembered. so sue me.

Sure, but like my man Axe says …
I could still say fuck you to a lot of people with $125M!
I did some work for a guy who was part of a company, named “Axe Men”, who were involved in mining and exploration, among other things. They definitely had “fuck you” money.

Yep, and a lot of people (the gubment especially) would just smile and do it to you.
