I did a spot of decorating last year and had the opportunity to set up a little practical joke for the future. It's just a shame I won't be there to see the pay-off, but I'm sure my hard work will be worth it. Hope you enjoy.

last year I built a partition wall just off my existing wall to the neighbours for sound proofing... I wrote a huge story on the wall...about what it is like living with the aliens and I was sorry that they were leaving and that I'd heard rumours that they were going to wipe our memories when they go so we won't remember them....someday I guess someone will see it when the partition is ripped down.... Yep... I to am sad.

The bloke who put it up found it humerous.

I painted 'DON'T EAT THE CHEESY CHIPS' in 4' high letters before I laid the carpets.
Some years later, after we had moved out, I went back to collect any mail and found workmen pulling up the carpet. I was poor at the time and the carpet was one of those foam backed jobbies.
The floor bore the legend "DON'T EAT THE CHEESY CHIPS" in cream foam and Manley was proud.

so he did it the "correct" way, and papered with plain paper and then painted it.
The reason you shouldn't paint onto plaster is because if someone then decides to use wallpaper they are basically glueing it to the paint, which will not give as good a bond as paper/plaster.

If I moved in and discovered that I would keep it on show.
On a sadder note, a house I once owned had the message "I still love you Susan" painted in foot high letters on the floorboards under the carpet.
I later discovered that a previous owner had killed himself after his wife left him.
It kinda creeped me out a bit.

but at least she isn't a geeky looking nerd in a black T Shirt speaking with all the personality of a weather forecaster and using a limited vocabulary, emphasizing the word f*ck way too much.
She has cancer, she's been told she will die within months, so she's making money to secure funds for her kids future the only way she can. If people are appalled by this, then don't comment in stupid videos like this. Just ignore her, and the media storm surrounding it. You can go on and make other things happen in your life to be able to ignore the fact she's in the media and get on with your life, she sadly doesn't have that option.

but it doesn't show what you say it does at all.
There are styles you can buy into, that should be self-evident. Doesn't mean you have to buy into them, it's just that lots of people do. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with that either.
Edit: lots of them contain wide variations too, look at this one for example:

They're all wearing a brightly coloured/patterned, long-sleeved fitted shirt, with fitted trousers and with hair tied back and up. They all have a similar makeup style and are wearing similar accessories. Looks pretty similar to me.

Also, considering it's an artwork making fun of conformity, the stuff on the "about" page seem fairly standard pretentious artsy bullshit: www.exactitudes.com/about.php .
"By dragging the repertory of the street kicking and screaming to the studio backdrop, the series offers a purposely absurd response to the sentimentality of Jamal Shabazz (“Back in the days”) and the beloved and utterly bogus spontaneity of the photo booth. It’s a perfect fit for an age that’s made the “cool hunt” a corporate pursuit. Of course the photos are starchy and obdurately posed and ever so consciously styled, because there can be no meaningful limit to the cross-contamination between those notions of a authenticity and supreme self-awareness."
