Janet Jackson speaks out in her first interview since the death of her older brother Michael Jackson.
Janet tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that she hasn't watched television since hearing about the death of her brother on June 25. "You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed," she tells the publication.
She says of growing up with the King of Pop, "He'd have the same red shirt, the same black pants, the same white T-shirt. Mike was very simple. When I was 14 years old, I would shop for him. [Michael was then 21.] I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When mother would go out of town, she'd say, 'I'm leaving you in charge. Take care of Mike.' I would head home from school, see what he needed, then go straight to the stores."
Janet also explained how Michael started wearing one white glove. "That was actually my brother Jackie's idea at home one day. ... He just said, 'You should wear one glove. A white glove.' And then Mike studded it all. That was it."
She continues to reminisce about her brother's style, "If it was shiny, if it had any kind of bling, he loved it. It was that drummer-boy look. Do you remember that black jacket he wore for Motown's 25th anniversary? That's our mother's! He grabbed that from her closet! He loved anything that sparkled."

" Oh Michael! It's so beautiful."
He smiled. " So, will you marry me?"
I looked at the ring. It was a 250 carat gold ring with diamond crusted all around it. " Fancy" was engraved on the ring. It was so magical. I looked into his eyes and said " Yes."
Michael looked up at me. " Say what now?"
I nodded rapidly. " Yes Michael! Yes!"
Everyone cheered except Joe. " What?!?! Michael can't be marrying that girl!" Joe screamed.
Michael frowned. " Joseph, I love Fancy. She is my life. And if you can't except that, then you're not invited to the wedding!
I felt a tear gently slide down my face. Everyone was feeling sorry for me. " See, now you have Fancy crying!" LaToya scolded. Fancy, Janet and LaToya went to the wedding gown shop to shop for gowns and dresses.
Do you agree with Fancy's decision. If so/not, comment below!!! I'd love to hear your comments!
