We've lost our Princess.
Man, we never EVER wanted to have to write this article. Today (Dec 27) Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60.
While Carrie was best known for her iconic role as the straight-talking, badass, 'not-gonna-take-any-of-your-shit-today flyboy' Princess Leia in Star Wars - and later General Organa - she was also an important and inspirational voice when it came to mental health and body image, an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, a phenomenal writer and one of the funniest, wittiest, warm-hearted people on the planet.

Carrie Fisher wore glitter in her hair. When I said I liked it, she ran her fingers through it and lobbed a handful at me. #TheGreatest pic.twitter.com/T7NWGdJp8w

Carrie Fisher got SO MUCH SHIT for being female, getting older, gaining weight, being bipolar, but she still kept her sense of humor. ICON.

Carrie Fisher spoke openly about her struggles w mental health. To me she was a hero - not only in the stars - but here on Earth as well.
