In July, Grazi Gervásio, a Brazilian woman, organized an unusual and eye-catching event to commemorate her 28th birthday. She threw a “funeral birthday party” with her lying in a coffin, dressed in a black see-through gown and heavy makeup, while her pals dressed in mourning attire, carrying white lilies.
Grazi gathered countless fresh flowers for the “funeral birthday party” and took photos of herself as if she were dead, adding angelic halos and wings to the images and words like “We love you, Grazi Gervásio… We miss you.” Friends even brought flower wreaths with slogans like “A lifelong celebration, forever in our memories,” and gathered around Grazi “mourning” her.
This unique celebration, however, did not meet with universal approval. Many internet users thought the whole thing was ridiculous, and some even made harsh comments, implying that her acts suggested serious mental degeneration. Others have noted that those pursuing online fame frequently share strong self-centeredness and mental health difficulties.
