Nice things that also make us feel sad: Alexander McQueen’s will was made public yesterday, and while the bulk of his estate went to his own charity (which provides scholarships for art and design students), it was also revealed that he left approximately $82,000 towards the care of his three dogs — Minter, Juice, and Callum.
