In the list there is also Elizabeth Taylor, partially because of the sails of the perfume “white diamond”, which has seen her earn 12 million dollars in the period from her passing away in March this year. Undisputed king of rock-and-roll Elvis Presley even 34 years after his passing away earns more than good money thanks to his “Graceland” entrance fees and authors rights.

Celebrities Wrong Clothing Selection
It’s one of the greatest quandary of modern times. How can something so inviting and desired look so horrific when overlayed with a piece of tight fitting fabric? We have no answer for that. Today, we celebrate the camel toe for its great equalizing power in modern society. No matter what your station in life, no matter how much money goes into making you look your best, the camel toe can happen to you too. These celebrities, athletes and performers are perfect example of when good things go… not necessarily bad, but definitely very, very wrong…
Visiting The Ron Mueck Exhibition

Remember the David Bowie/Jennifer Connelly movie Labyrinth? One of the model-makers on the set was a young Australian named Ron Mueck. After dabbling in creating realistic props for advertising (that’s where the money is, baby!), Mueck started producing three-dimensional sculptures purely for art. His work quickly caused a sensation in art circles in the United Kingdom, and Dead Dad — displayed as part of the 1997 Sensation show at the Royal Academy of Arts — gave him international frame. We’re fortunate to have been able to see a collection of twelve of Mueck’s works at the Gallery of Modern Art here in Brisbane. The girls are young enough to innocently appraise the naked form without being silly, so we took them into the show.
Youth (2009). Diminutive figure (65 cm high) of African or African-American youth, holding up his T-shirt to examine a wound in his side.
Dead Dad (1996–97), A three-foot-long sculpture of Mueck’s father lying on his back, naked. This sculpture uses Mueck’s real hair.
A Girl (2006). Newborn baby, with part of her umbilical cord and some blood.

Playing With Money: Defacing Presidents and Funny Modifications
Having fun with money seems to be a hobby of many people out there. I guess nobody ever told them not to play with money. On the other hand, since there is a wide range of money notes and currencies that you may find here messed up and made creative use of, I guess that is a common feature to a lot of people out there, to play with money, by defacing presidents, modification it in a creative way or writing creative jokes on them.
Although, you would have to admit that some inspired ideas are really worth realized no matter the cost. I know that I would gladly exchange my money to some of these dollar bills no matter what the exchange rate was.
