Paintings by legendarily vapid billboard ‘starlet’ Angelyne


 
Last week in Hollywood there was a party at the Museum of Digital Art (MODA) kicking off an exhibition featuring paintings by the curious person known as Angelyne, who made a weird splash in the 1980s with her self-consciously tacky persona, her obsession with the color pink, her mediocre musical career, her quite obviously artificially enhanced décolletage, and her ubiquitous billboards (ubiquitous at least in Los Angeles).

Wikipedia lists no year of birth for Angelyne, but her current age is probably around 60. If you’re too young to remember Angelyne’s first go-round with the arbitrary fame machine, well, you didn’t miss very much. It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so I figure it’s best to just leave you with these snapshots of the MODA event and a couple related shots (which include a few glimpses at her paintings, which are exactly what you would expect Angelyne to paint).
