This is the new store - I've got 2 now that are new on the web: Artcessoriesbydakota.com and now, SuperStarCandles.com. Both are designed to create a new art form that blends the old and new - popular religious art with celebrity fandom. Each updating the other. The idea is to not insult anyone's religion, as these paintings depicting saints, shepherds, etc... these works of art are done by multiple artists and are not religious icons in and of themselves, but are just that artistic and culture works of art of a specific time...and any work of art can be open to interpretation. As for celebrity, they are our new 21st century icons - icons of lifestyle, fashion, beauty, art, and morality - hence the concern over whether any of them are appropriate "role models". Yes, even morality - they are a barometer by which many people measure their own lives or live vicariously through. Not many of us in the world will reach their status in our culture, but we do put them there by our fandom. So why not have a candle that expresses the way you feel about those we hope to one day be able to "hold a candle to." (Pardon my pun). So whether you've "sainted" your celebrity as a tribute, a parody, a memorial or devotional is up to you.
