For aslong as I can remember my mum has always gone on about when she was pregnant with me and how she chose my name. She would often tell me how she used to rub her belly and say she would name me Farrah.
Usually everyone is named after some meaning thats precious/beautiful/boring/mushy/crap…but who can put their hands up and say YES! i was named after a Charlies Angel??!!
Because i know i was 
pow pow!
My mum has always loved Farrah Fawcett, her legendary tousled hair and bright radiant smile, best known for her role in Charlies Angels who she played Jill Monroe. It was around the same time her very famous swimsuit poster was released. It went on to sell a record breaking still-unrivaled 12 million copies. She is a noted pop figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women, and a sex symbol for millions of young men in the 1970s and 1980s. My mum also supported her curley wavey hairstyle at the time as did many of the other elders in my extended family, i found that funny because there always shouting at us young ones about our hair, they did it themselves when they were young!!
Farrah was originally named Ferrah. Farrah is an arabic word meaning “Joy”. Ferrah later changed it to Farrah.
I also know in Latin Farrah means Wild Ass? Thats definetly me then! 
I would like to imagine that whilst mum was giving birth to me, charlies angels was on in the back ground and farrah was busting out some moves on the baddies. And im thinking mum thought i was going to come out with big almond eyes, a lovely beautiful cute face, curley hair, stunning figure…well.(long pause)..i didnt! I was however, one of the ugliest babies in my family but i would like to think that im sorta ok looking lol…dnt write me off i aint that bad!….iv got the curley black hair though! woo
I was on my way back home yesterday, sat on the train and i saw a picture of Farrah Fawcett, the title read “Farrah Fawcett terminally ill with cancer”. Farrah was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2006 and is currently undergoing treatment and chemotherapy. However, saturday 4th April Farrah had been rushed to a hospital several days earlier, where she was unconscious and in critical condition. I thought this was really sad, and im sure lots of you have probably noticed the increase of people dying because of cancer. But neway thanfully she’s not at deaths doors, she’s still in good spirits, with her usual sense of humour. Get well soon Farrah!
