"For all her wispy spirituality, Angelyne is still celebrated as a rebel: 'If you can be on a billboard just as yourself, not representing anything, I think that's pretty punk rock,' says leather-clad Scott Graham, a fan since 1982, when he joined the Angelyne Fan Club at the age of 12. At the exhibition, Graham remembers Angelyne's frequent visits to Retropolis, his Melrose Avenue boutique, in the 90s, where she purchased hundreds of dollars of clothing with a wave of her hand. To Graham, Angelyne has always been a spoof of Hollywood itself, subverting the established channels of fame in true DIY fashion. 'She’s shameless,' he says, flipping his neon pink mohawk out of his eyes as he peers at an Angelyne original on MODA’s main wall."
