The colors are bright but soft-greens from palm trees, gray-blue water.
AMY WINEHOUSE BLAKE FREE
Lucia are surreally peaceful Winehouse lets her curly, short hair free from under her usual beehive, wears little of the heavy wing-tipped eye makeup she was known for, and runs around in jeans and a bikini top. When news of Lovato’s overdose broke, British tabloid the Mirror dug through footage in her Simply Complicated documentary to find a moment she had “admitted” to “idolizing tragic Amy Winehouse.” Another Mirror story advertises: “Demi Lovato staggers out of Hollywood nightclub in last photos before singer’s ‘heroin’ overdose.” But she had been clean from the drug when she passed away she had kicked drugs. In 2011, Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning, her body weakened from years of bulimia and past heroin addiction. It only took a day for articles to pop up with another name in their headlines: Amy Winehouse, who has been tethered posthumously to the drug in a way that she actually wasn’t at the end of her life, despite enduring misconceptions. The idea, almost certainly fantasy, of Lovato shooting up in her Hollywood Hills mansion was more sordid than anything anyone had yet to understand about her addiction.
But heroin is the problem of regular people, poor people, albeit at epidemic levels: in Camden, New Jersey, and Burlington, Vermont Billings, Montana, and Baltimore. We’re used to seeing images of bright young things spilling out of clubs and into cabs, the cocktails and bottle service, even cocaine, that perennial party drug, all cheekily implied (and now there is also the ubiquitous vape).
When it was reported that pop singer Demi Lovato had potentially overdosed on heroin, a particular digital gasp quickly made its way around the Internet.
