The story of the bracelet

中文來源:mjjcn.com 作者:Sara Lee

下面這個小故事是化妝師Karen Faye 的朋友Randi 講的,他從事的是時裝配件設計和製作方面的工作。

曾有許多人都對MJ 手腕上戴的那條紅色手鏈很好奇,那是別人送他的一條友情手鏈friendship bracelet),送的人曾告訴MJ說他得一直戴著這手鏈,直到有一天手鏈自己脫落了為止。MJ很想以此為模型再做一些類似的手鏈,送給所有參加This Is It 巡演的演職人員。這樣,一方面可以加強TII巡演團隊人員之間的關係和向心力;另一方面,也可以提醒大家不要忘記“Heal The World ”

2009
年,Michael 的化妝師,也是我的好朋友Karen Faye 問我有沒有興趣設計這樣一款手鏈,我立刻同意了。於是根據MJ提出的要求和設想,很快設計出了下面這款與MJ 戴的很相似的手鏈。我設計的這款是用銀質和尼龍製作的,手鏈的一面刻寫著 “Heal The World”,另一面則是 “Love Michael” 的字樣。Karen 把我做的手鏈拿給MJ 看,他非常喜歡!
然而不幸的是,不久之後,這個世界就失去了這個偉大的天才。Karen 參與了葬禮前為他的遺體做準備的工作。在小心翼翼,充滿愛心地給他穿好所有的衣物之後,她將那只他生前選中的手鏈戴在了他的腳踝上。。。

The story of the bracelet
 
Everyone was always asking about the red bracelet Michael Jackson wore around his wrist. It was a friendship bracelet that was given to him, and he was told he had to wear it until it fell off. He wanted to have a bracelet like it made to give to the crew of the This Is It tour to solidify the unity in the project and to remind us to heal the world.
 
Mid-June that year (2009), Michaels make-up/hair artist and dear friend of mine, Karen Faye came to me and asked if I would be interested in doing it. I jumped at the chance, and quickly designed a piece made of silver and nylon, to look like the friendship bracelet he had requested. It said Heal The World on one side and Love, Michael on the other. Karen showed it to MJ and he love it!
 
Unfortunately, soon after, the world suffered the enormous loss of this talented man.
 
Karen participated in the preparing of his body for burial. After he was lovingly dressed, she tied the bracelet he had chosen, around his ankle.
 
I would like to do something here that might be special, personal and meaningful for you, his fans. I want to offer you a copy of the piece I made. When I say copy, I mean that I have make another original, approximately the same size, and shape, with the same words. I will manufacture small batches of this caste silver and nylon bracelet for
you. They will still be put together by hand, and with love, the way Michael intended
