The most diva moment of all time

The collection name is “THE MOST DIVA MOMENT OF ALL TIME” Orginally, to be Diva meant to be a female opera singer, and it’s etymology comes from a Latin word literally meaning “goddess.” Hard working and a salt of the earth upbringing don’t preclude women from being divas. For example you can build your empire from no- where and end up with a theme park named af- ter you, or you can be a working-c- lass jewish girl from the Bronx and become one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. But if you are a diva, those humble origins are quickly forgotten. Reclaiming the word “diva” might prove tricky, given that so many take it as shorthand for a bratty from a bitchiness. People may underestimate them. Divas create their own fake and plastic worlds de- spite all the negativities they experience. This collection represents the irony of a woman’s career before and after.
