This image is from a cafe in Brighton, Adelaide. We dropped into it for a quick coffee just after returning to Adelaide from Wilsons Promontory before picking up the poodles from the dog minders:

Images of Marilyn Monroe were everywhere on the walls of the cafe. There were no references to Andy Warhol from what I could see. We are in popular culture and we are surrounded by one of its iconic images. Images that seem to have an afterlife.

This image was on the wall of the cafe. I do not know who the artist was.

Brighton, despite the wealth, was so small after Mornington and Sorrento in Melbourne. There were few clothes shops, galleries, lifestyle or health shops. It was just a coffee strip and it looked so underdeveloped. The money is there to support these kind of shops.
