Title: Tammy Faye Bakker Messner dead at 65 Post by: CheezeFlixz on July 22, 2007, 09:20:40 AM Yes folk the queen of eye liner has passed on to the great cosmetic aisle in the sky, she was 65. She always came across more as a caricature than a real person the tabloids will miss her.

This all came to light after Jim was caught getting biblical with Jessica Hahn and down the empire fell.

She even (briefly) did a talk show with Jm J. Bullock that would make your eyes and ears bleed. She was on Larry King this past week and looked really terrible. She said she only wighed 65 pounds. It was obvious then she was very, very ill and did not have much time. I've had the documentary THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE on my Netflix queu for a while but I keep moving it further down the list. Maybe it's time to finally see it. R.I.P. Title: Re: Tammy Faye Bakker Messner dead at 65 Post by: DodgingGrunge on July 22, 2007, 05:43:23 PM Yeah, she didn't look so hot on Larry King. We've already got a fittingly creepy obit up on DG (http://www.dodginggrunge.com/crap.2.0/index.php?pIndex=281&thumbView=0)... not a big fan. Haha.

"Her doctors say she weighed as little as *675* pounds before her death." I, and the woman next to me, both laughed out loud.
