Andy Warhol's quote that "everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes" has always stuck in my brain. Warhol's obsession with fame, youth, and personality is very interesting. And it seems that this obsession is becoming more prevalent. TV shows like Big Brother and Survivor and all the other reality-tv spinoffs prove just this. The contestants on these shows want the fame and viewers are obsessed by them. Even when the shows are over. Not to mention gossip magazines and the way the music industry has headed. We care more about what celebrities eat for breakfast than global warming. We care that Nicole gets her romantic wedding this time around instead of worrying about the lack of funding to the Arts sector. Very strange stuff indeed.
So do you want your 15 minutes????

Yes.
And an invite to Nicole's wedding. It's the least she can do.
Nah, I'm happy being small and anonymous, knitting in front of the fire.
Ooo Dani, gorgeous photo. I love the anticipation of your stance.
I love this! One of my faves! Very nice.
melba good point - i'm sure some of the celebs do organise their own PR in this way - but it still doesn't explain why all the gossip rags sell the way they do. so perhaps the average person doesn't so much care about the celebrity but wants to know what they're up to.
thank you so much for all your lovely compliments today girls!!!
I liked the photo combined with the text, - great!
Beautiful interpretation of Pop Art!
Absolutely Gorgeous!! I love it
this is stunning!
I like the meditative aspect.
I find it interesting that - despite the bright pink - the picture is contemplative.
