ABOVE vs. HOLLYWOOD
ABOVE spent the last 12 days down in Los Angeles hanging my newly themed “Movie star arrow mobiles” site specifically in Hollywood where all of the movie magic is created. There were 50 of each male and female (100 arrows hung total) movie stars as the topic and face of each arrow mobile. ABOVE enjoyed giving back to Hollywood a large dose of what it is infatuated and consumed with that being movie’s and the actors that make the movies.
