Spent some time painting this one. The human skeleton is not an easy task to draw/paint. It’s got many angles, planes and junctures that drive me crazy. I’m willing to accept that it’s not going to be perfectly anatomically correct, but if there are any glaring errors, I have to fix them (if you see any, don’t tell me).

The title comes from a lyric in Iggy Pop’s, Lust for Life. It seems fitting that a beauty queen would feel like he/she is worth a million in prizes. I mean it takes a certain amount of narcissism to enter a beauty pageant. Of course, there is no shortage of narcissism in the world today, especially in the USA. Everybody wants their 15 minutes, …not even, everybody wants lasting fame/Superstardom. Everybody wants to be famous for being famous. Thank you Kardashians, thank you Tick Tock, thank you Instagram, Snap Chat, thank you shitty pop music.
