• The LA WEEKLY says:
  " Tweaking icon worship with his vintage framed shots of Marilyn Monroe–esque creatures and nude poster-size images of local luminaries like Mario Diaz and female-to-male (partial) tranny Buck Angel — not to mention an interactive window display with assorted freaks in blond wigs and white Marilyn dresses — this show brought out a host of fabulous guests...From the crowd to the art to the mortified Walk of Fame tourists who peeked into the party throughout the night, the Warholian gathering was as warped and wonderful as WOW’s TV productions" -Lina Lecaro,LA WEEKLY
