:heart:



Today she is 83 years old. After June 25 :)cry:), she did some interviews for the Brazilian press. She said beautiful things about Michael and showed many pictures of the two together. She said she always made Brazilian food for Michael and he always loved. :heart:
 
They wanted wine. I see the teenagers taste was maturing!!!! I think Brazil held a special place in his heart. He went there when he was with the brothers and most have loved it dearly, because he continued to visit and perform there.

David Gest wrote this funny story about him and Mj in his book "Simply the Gest"


Michael was staying at my place on Dohney and was happy to come along. He really respected Burt (Bacharach) but wondered, as we all did, what made him tick.

Burt had ordered a bottle of expensive French red wine, which he, Carole (Bayer Sager) and I were drinking. Michael never drank but that night he got interested in wine. Unbelievably; he didn't even know what wine was.
'What's it made of?' he asked me.
'Grapes', I said.
'I like grapes,' Michael said. 'I think I'll try some.'
So we poured Michael a glass and he drank it. He obviously liked it because he drank another one. We were drinking a 1982 Pomerol that tasted like candy, so he was bound to like it.

By this time, we all had a glass or two and the bottle was finished. So Burt ordered a second bottle. This time, Michael drank virtually the whole bottle. He had really acquired a taste for wine, fine wine at that, and was guzzling the stuff down. So we ordered a third bottle and Michael drank most of that as well. That's when i knew we were going to have a problem that night.

The evening came to an end and I drove Michael back to my place. He was, understandably, happy. In fact, he was flying high, very high. In the car he was talking and laughing. He was singing 'I Want To Be Where You Are' and 'Never Can Say Goodbye'. Then he started singing more of his hit songs like 'Ben'. He was giggling away all the time.
'You're going to be in trouble,' he said. 'I'm going to tell Joesph what you did.'
I wasn't taking the bait. 'I didn't do it, you did,' I said.
It took us a few minutes to get back to my place. The minute I parked the car and opened the door for him, Michael leaned out and threw up all over the place. He spent the rest of the night hanging over the toilet. He was as sick as a dog. I was up all night with him.
He kept saying, 'I'm going to tell Joe you corrupted me,' I was kinda worried he would but he never did.
It was his first taste of wine, something he would come to love a little too much in later years. I always felt bad about that night but it sure was funny!

"Will try out other forms of chicken, but would still like the KFC" lol^^

Yeah, I remember the one gest wrote about the wine. That was funny although, I always thought Gest added to it to make it seem jucier. Just my feelings.

OMG that looks nummy! Sounds like something my mom would make :) Sometimes I think he would have liked some of the things my mom would make and that she makes very well :lol:
 
I thought I could post this here just in case there is somebody who didn't know about this

In 1993, Michael wrote the introduction to a cookbook for families published by Neiman Marcus, Pigtails and Frog Legs.

To a child, food is something special. It isn’t just a delicious taste or the vitamins that build a healthy body. Food is love and caring, security and hope — all the things that a food family can provide. Remember when you were little and your mother made a pie for you? When she cut a slice and put it on your plate, she was giving you a bit of herself, in the form of her love. She made your hunger go away, and when you were full and satisfied, everything seemed all right. Because that satisfied feeling was in the pie, you were nourished from a deep level. Food is something we all need physically, but so is love, the deeper nourishment, that turns into who we are.

Think about how necessary it is to nourish a child with a bit of yourself when you use this book. It is full of delicious things. Every recipe has an extra ingredient of caring, because the people who wrote them were thinking of the children. They were specially thinking of those who aren’t able to take nourishment for granted because they are poor, sick or disabled. These are the children who need food to heal. The theme of ‘Heal the World’, which has been close to my heart, is the central theme of this book, also. Here are recipes for the spirit. Please make them with that in mind. Your child is growing spirit that can be knit strong with love. When you break an egg and measure a cup of flour, you are magically mixing the gift of life. The food’s proteins and minerals will turn into bones and muscles, but your feeling as you cook will turn directly into a soul.

It makes me happy to think that the needs of children’s spirits are at last becoming important in this world. Children have no power to end wars directly or to mend age-old differences.

All they can do is be themselves, to shine with gratitude and joy when love is turned their way. Yet isn’t that ultimately the greatest power? In the eyes of a child you become the source of joy, which lifts you into the special category of caregiver and life-provider. You may think that your apple pie has only sugar and spice in it. A child is wiser — with the first bite, he knows that this special dish is the essence of your love.

Enjoy!

Interview by Randy J. Taraborrelli (1978)

The house, which they had lived in since 1971, was a combination pale yellow, soft green, and white, a reflection of Katherine’s warm personality. She was gregarious, friendly, and she had a benevolent glow about her. She told me she had decorated the house herself as an assignment for a home-decorating class. She mentioned that Michael’s favorite foods were hot apple turnovers and sweet potato pies.

“Only now I can’t get him to eat anything. I try and try,” she said, shrugging her shoulders. “I keep thinking he’ll eat when he gets hungry, but the boy never gets hungry. Have you noticed how skinny he is? It worries me.”
 
This was posted by somebody on another forum

Just saw Lenny Kravitz in Spain, he said to think he went to see him perform at the age of 8 and after so much time he never thought he would work with him and that was incredible. said how perfectionist Michael is and professional since a very early age and the most funny guy he have known, they laughed all the week and he said that Michael ate A LOT!. The interwierer in disbelieve because Michael was so thin, and Lenny said yeah I was surprised too! he really ate! and that was always delivered Mexican food ' burrito, taco, enchiladas'.

Pardon my English since my first language is Japanese.

Wow I really appreciate your post here.
However, this girl with the hat is not the girl from Yokohama.She is a pop singer named Yoko Oginome.

And the girl from Yokohama is a voice actress named Michie Tomizawa. She's famous for being a big MJ fan.
She worked in this Japanese cartoon, "Crayon Shin chan. :)

Yees, I am. :)

In the video where they're showing MJ's dinner, the lady in the middle says her name,"Yoko".
At 0:56, she says, "Yoko, Do you want some?". (I know she speaks so fast though. )

I heard the girl from Yokohama once appeared a TV show and was talking about this
while showing a newspaper article that had a picture of herself being hugged/kissed by
Michael at that time.
I tried to find that footage on the net but unfortunately I couldn't. :(

Oh no, you didn't sound ignorant AT ALL. I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I never meant to do it.
I hope my post will help you better understand.:)
