I like how modern photo-centric 'culture' (e.g., smartphone cameras, Facebook, etc.) makes for somewhat entertaining 'magazine-friendly storytelling.'
Does this have more to do with the cuteness of gossip, the artisan-ship of Halloween and masquerade, or the commerce of Hollywood?
I'm a big fan of the photography-paranoia film One Hour Photo starring the late, great comedian and actor Robin Williams.

Ursula was a beautiful baby girl born to immigrant Albanian parents living in Washington, D.C. She was given the nickname 'Sive' (in praise of the Hindu deity Shiva --- god of destruction/meditation), since she always looked rather intelligent (for a baby!). Ursula loved to play with baby-blocks but really loved to build block-towers and then pummel them apart. Ursula's mother joked that she would become a real 'villainess' someday. Ursula's father loved reading/collecting comic books and Ursula would stare at them sometimes, admiring their colorful drawings, and her mom took note of her special fascination with 'pop art.'
On the other coast of America, the Hollywood movie actress Cameron Diaz was preparing for a provocative role as a street-wise brawling feisty young woman in Martin Scorsese's new period-piece film (an adaptation of a Herbert Asbury novel) titled Gangs of New York. While reading the film script, Diaz realized she had a newfound academic interest in the development of culture in confluence-rich (and drama-rich America). She wondered about the little stories and richness in immigrant enclaves and culture-towns (e.g., Chinatown, San Francisco) that gave rise to 'colorful American people' and thought about her cover-photo on the populism-inviting People Magazine.
Ursula was playing with her baby-blocks while her father was watching the American film The Mask (starring Cameron Diaz!). Ursula noticed how shiny and interesting Diaz looked in the film and started patting her daddy's head while watching the film. Her father amused and asked, "Oh, do you want to be like Cameron Diaz when you grow up?" Ursula gave a strange and eerily sly grin (for a baby!), but her father was too busy watching the Diaz film to take notice. When Ursula was rummaging through her dad's Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) books, she noticed a spread of the villainess Black Cat (Felicia Hardy), a sexy and smart agile terror-artist and a self-proclaimed 'anti-heroine.' Ursula gave another eerily sly grin.
"Boy, I wish I could visit the home of an immigrant family living in D.C. in an ethnically-dense enclave/area and ask them about their experiences living in America!" Diaz ruminated. She resolved to go to Washington, D.C. on Halloween Eve (for the special celebrity-pumpkin festival sponsored by the eco-activism group the Leo DiCaprio Foundation) dresses as the Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) villainess Black Cat! When she arrived, she noticed the crowds of people gathered for Leo's speech about the value of the autumn harvest and the importance of appreciating the Earth from which we take so much for the harvest. It was then that Black Cat (Diaz) noticed Ursula with her parents. Ursula was sitting in her stroller, and her dad was taking pictures of the 'scene.'
Ursula was dressed as the DC Comics 'villainess' Baby-Doll (a genetically-deformed nemesis of 'Batman' and woman who was perpetually 'stuck' in developmental growth as a toddler, giving her terrible anti-social rage). Ursula's father made her the outfit, since he was a big fan of Batman (DC Comics) story-books. Black Cat (Diaz) walked up to Baby-Doll (Ursula) and asked her, "Wow, you look strangely 'sinister' in that terrific Halloween villainess costume! Did your daddy make that for you?" Ursula's mother signalled in the affirmative, and Diaz told Ursula's mother, "I'm sure you're proud your baby could attend this important eco-awareness event on Halloween!" Just then Baby-Doll (Ursula) looked up at Black Cat (Diaz) and gave her strange eerily sly grin, prompting the startled movie actress to say, "Hey Ursula, you really have the aura of a future villainess!"
