Hollywood’s Self-Indulgent Pseudo-Spiritual Detox
About This Item
2-D collage that reads “Hollywood’s self- indulgent pseudo-spiritual detox” over the head of a woman, surrounded by dollar signs, triangles, and six-pointed stars with eyes in them. Emanating from her head like a crown are red, orange, and yellow rays. Below her are palm trees that frame the outline of a Hindu temple or the Taj Mahal that reads, “Beverly Hills” and “Everything else can wait, but your relentless search for fame cannot wait.”
