Alexander McQueen found dead
Alexander McQueen and his mother
The British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead at the age of 40 in his London home.
Although there aren't any confirmed reports, it is said he committed suicide by way of hanging himself.
A spokeswoman for McQueen said: "Mr McQueen was found dead this morning at his home. We're devastated and I hope you understand that out of respect to his family and his colleagues we're not going to be making any further statement."
The death comes days before the start of London fashion week and a month before the designer was to unveil his new collection at Paris fashion week.

His company, Alexander McQueen, issued a statement saying: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home. At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family."
"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."
Comments had been posted on McQueen's Twitter page, McQueenWorld, expressing his distress over the death of his mother on 2 February.
He wrote last week: "i'm letting my followers know the my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumx"
A minute later he added: "but life must go on!"
On Sunday McQueen wrote: "sunday evening been a f****** awful week but my friends have been great but now i have to some how pull myself together..."

Not cute Miss Britney Spears. Married and divorced with like two or three children. Pop star or not...this is clearly inappropriate (even for a stripper).
Jennifer Hudson in a dress by Victoria Beckham and looking like a super sized version of Posh. She's even learned to pose like her PUKE.
I'm sure this classy lady has some illicit video floating around somewhere on line impersonating lady gaga. Trashy!
Now THIS is how you do it. Fierce!!!
Snooki from jersey shore I'm sure was wearing her pass because they tried to kick her out several times.
Pink in Tony Ward Haute Couture. Beautiful and very much her style.
Jennifer Lopez in Versace. Fit for her figure...I think it's perfect.
I'm so over Lamberts look.
Katy Perry in Zac Posen looks fantastic. I'm not a glitter girl but this outfit does it for me.
Fergie in Emilio Pucci. Tad too short. I'd dread seeing her walk in that outfit. Leave the showgirl look in Vegas baby.

To Shave or Not to Shave
Todays topic has drastically changed over the years for both men and women. What parts of the body should you shave/wax and what parts should be left alone. It being clearly a matter of opinion is totally up to the individual.
Lets begin with the basics and understanding the difference between shaving and waxing. Besides the obvious that shaving is virtually painless while waxing hurts like hell, there is a time line to each process for growth and upkeep. Shaving, like Pringles crisps once you "pop" you can't stop, has to be done daily to avoid awful prickly growth.
Waxing will leave you smooth for days or weeks but be warned that to continue waxing you must allow some growth before you head back to the salon. Depending on where the hair is you may or may not want any growth for risk of looking like a chia pet in it's early stages. What you wax or shave is again totally up to you.
Most men naturally have more hair than women. I don't mind hair or a man...i think it's attractive and natural. What I do mind are men who insist on shaving EVERYTHING. It just looks artificial...opt to trim instead. I also have found from personal experience that men who shave their chest, arms and back are lazy with the up keep. There is nothing more unattractive than rubbing up against a man sporting cactus growth.
Ladies one important thing we may or may not realize that can be done without is arm hair. I am a firm believer in completely getting rid of all arm hair. If you shave your legs, why not shave your arms. It just looks neat and smooth. There is nothing more unfeminine than overwhelming arm hair. But remember if you start shaving your arms, you must do it everyday. It's annoying but in my opinion so worth it.
