Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Both had awful parents and public struggles with addiction, but people just like looking down on “party girls”

TBF I think Hilton was deliberate to some extent. She rode the wave of controversy she created and made a name for herself separate from the family name. She’s still controversial, but she’s independent.

Lohan was just an addict in a downward spiral chased by harsh public opinion. Unfortunately the public loves to see a star fall.

Here's comics/drawings someone made about their experience at a similarly run camp called the elan school.

You should put a disclaimer before you link elan.school anywhere. If you read it, it will fuck you up and you will feel bad. I've read it like two months ago and while I'm glad I read it, I'm not sure I want to ever again.
