Entertainers, athletes, chiefs, authors, politicians, and anyone with influence having large numbers of followers is a trait of our current culture.

It has been said that in this country we have such because we have no royalty.

The contributions of computers, the internet, cell phones, et cetera has resulted in such a massive consequence.

Because of this phenomenon, such persons having the capability to affect a large portion of the population result in what they do being copied or imitated.

This process often manifests into a phase where these celebrities will come out with a personal line of clothing, furnishings, other items, or lifestyle options available in the market.

They become a brand.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Popularity, status, and newness, in and of themselves, are not determining factors of quality.

Current cultural influences are not always long-lasting values.

Trends come and go.

The laws of physics and the principles of aesthetics, and not who did them, determine the quality of results.

Life continues and evolves, and many different influences affect the results.

What role have celebrity designs, or other such factors, played in the aesthetic choices of your personal lifestyle?

Food for thought.
