Apparently suicide.

 My daughter had an Accessorise knock off of her cassette bag. Genius.

Never heard of her.

Never heard of her.
She wasn't aware of you either. Nor was Shakespeare, Einstein nor Ernie Wise. So did you have a point? Because I've seen a lot on social media thinking about how she was a major influence? But did you just need offer some pointless sarcasm? Glass houses, mebbe?

Sarcasm? What sarcasm? I just mentioned that I'd never heard of her. I leave sarcasm to the azure-sloped ex-workers and slightly mad of this world in general.

I'm not sure what azure sloped means? I've just done a quick goggle and it seems to refer mainly to LEGO. Or possibly something to do with linear regression.

I liked it as a phrase and thought I might use it elsewhere, it looks like I can't now. Unless I take up playing with toy building blocks in my dotage.  :(

Azure sloped ex-worker = bluehillside rtd. Geddit?

Yes, you are right, you weren't being sarcastic. I just find the habit people have of commenting that they have never heard of  someone who has died tedious. I thoroughly recommend sarcasm though, best way to get through the day along with a good martini at appropriate intervals.

Sounds like a plan.

When I first saw the thread title early this morning I thought, "Don't think I've heard of her", glad I didn't say anything  ;D.

I've since read about Kate Spade and it is a very sad story, poor woman. Feel sorry for her daughter - for whom she left a note.

Steven H, the slanting azure ex-worker's retirement didn't last long, he might remove the Rtd from his nickname.

I think she probably wasn’t so well known over here because her kind of immaculately groomed look is always more popular stateside.

And there are just so many more shops there.  There's no reason for SteveH to have heard of her. I just get bored when people say they hadn't heard of someone,

I know what you mean, it seems somewhat disrespectful unless followed by a ‘but’ of some kind, even if just a ‘how sad’.

He isn't the first poster to react like this.

I got very annoyed when a now departed poster said they had never heard of Reginald Hill.

In fact thinking about it, it amuses me that they have this trait in common  ;)

For Steve a crossword clue - Small thorny flowers.

On Beulah Height - one of the best crime novels ever.

Yes indeed. I believe we have expressed this shared admiration before. :)

Oh please sir, may I have a go? I'll give another clue:- two words 6 & 5
Maybe not fair tho' as said poster really has retired, I wasn't even here for the send off.

(Btw I hadn't heard of the crime writer Reginald Hill either :-[)
