Icon vs icon

                                                                                                    My sister.
Before invention of TV the only icons were those from the Orthodox east. Nowadays? Carousel with icons of pop culture- Marylin Monroe, Coca-Cola, Mickey Mouse, Barbie, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Harry Potter, McDonalds, etc. Which one do you choose for youself? Do we really identify with what we call an icon? How can you identify with food or plastic doll? I've read about so many style icons, that I forgot which one to follow. Overused words become meaningless. What do you really give, when you give your word? A guarantee or empty word? What do you really mean when you say you love? hate? know? understand? care?
