This is Bo in the last picture I took of him a few weeks before he died. He was posing for a headshot so he could be an extra in Gus VanSant's Elephant.
Ultimately, Bo was cremated in this very outfit.
He used to smile so much as a baby and little kid. When he hit 14 though, he decided that smiling was not cool.... so he perfected this esoteric -- bored gaze that used to drive us crazy. You can see the tiniest hint of the famous "Booth smirk" on his lips in this shot.
When we shopped for the the red shirt in the picture, Bo dragged Abra and me all over downtown to find the perfect THING to wear for his MLC prom. He wanted it to EXACTLY match his hair. What a pain-in-the-butt afternoon. We looked everywhere and FINALLY found it at Magpie on 9th and Washington. I was pissed off, but would do it again a million times to have him back.
