As the second anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaches, we catch another brief glimpse into one of the more peculiar aspects of the pop singer's life -- his instance on "masking" his three children.

As MSN UK reports, La Toya Jackson has revealed that her mother, Katherine Jackson, currently the guardian of Michael's children, has refused to let the kids wear masks.

"Michael put masks on them to protect them and to keep them safe from anyone who wanted to hurt him," La Toya recently said in an interview with the Daily Beast. "He's gone now. The first thing my mother did was say to them, 'Today we're unmasking you. Today the masks come off.'"

Michael's three children, Prince, Paris and Prince Michael II, (aka "Blanket"), are reportedly doing much better under the care of their grandmother.

Michael’s death and life are surrounded by so much controversy even two years later. Our celebrity-worship goes too far in creating our own ideas of icons such as MJ, as to leave a warped dynasty of myth and legend. Who was The King of Pop beneath the different faces? Check out my surreal portrait in commemoration of his passing and tell me about what you remember about him at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-memoriam-king-of-pop.html
