You can't go wrong with a Marilyn as a stand alone image. She can be found hanging around countless bars and pubs, she sneaks into offices, she ironically claims t-shirts, she carries your keys and she hangs around with a disreputable bunch; the Warhols.
Quite why she is not on a bank note I just don't understand.
It is not as if she is even alive. And yet we are supposed to detect allure , to worship the aura and the idea of the one true Goddess who will live again and walk among us. Each image of Her asks us, "Do you believe?" She exists outside of time and increasingly space.
I am suprised that this kind of iconography still has traction after so many years. I daresay you could find a Marilyn t-shirt being worn in the middle of the Amazon Jungle by a member of some as yet undiscovered tribe.
