Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, or so the story goes. But now you can commemorate that idea (and start a boisterous dinner party conversation) with the 15 Minutes of Fame temporary tattoo watch face.
“Impress your friends with your intention to temporarily transgress the ‘famous/not famous’ divide, muse upon the fate of fallen stars and the trappings of success, or just reflect back to a time when in the future you were to be famous and think how excited you were with anticipation,” ILikeCool says. “Later, when it washes off or wears away, you will be a better person (in the future, as always).”
Undoubtedly, the 15 Minutes of Fame watch face will give you the coveted, yet fleeting 15 minutes of fame.
