<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Regarding these "seductions", having
archetypical figures to identify with/aspire towards, they can

<i>*we* make these celebrities</i>
<p>
Celebrity is co-creation. <i>We</i> cannot help but see what we
see, <i>seduced</i><br>
by the possibilities afforded by the image. Dually, the image
becomes<br>

of a partially-defined image, like with poetry, an object that
waits<br>
for another to complete it. <br>
