Heiress and TV starlet Ally Hilfiger, you will recall, is part of an exciting new generation of multimedia artists and as such likes to "have all my creative outlets exposed." Lately, Hilfiger seems to be most interested in having her painting outlet exposed, but her work was only formally exhibited this one time as part of a weird music video type thing. All that is about to change. After the jump, details on the Tuesday event that will mark a new dawn for the art world, and a sampling of the paintings involved. Hint: the number 8 plays a big role.

No more please, Ally. Eight is enough.
I wonder who she had do this garbage for her.
Apparently, one of Ally's boobies played a big role in the upper left hand corner of the red painting.
Do those teeth come in regular sizes?
(Too soon?)
Remember when this girl had a reality show where she and her friend went to Barnard and acted like idiots at all times? That was really, really scary. Anyone remember? it was called "Rich Girls" or something...
Watch broadcast coverage on "The Ocho".
I see an almost equine masculinity. It's seen in the very first picture of the post
"Like, OMG BFFs, it looks like the thing for 'infinity,' right? That means my show will go on forever. Yay!"
do you know that 8 + 15 = 23?
15 being the number of minutes she has starting...
And, why didn't she wait until August 8th to do this?
It's been 8 years since her daddy sold a shirt.
Oh. Oh god. Between this and the fucking dem primaries still going...I...I'm just hurting. Oh god, my eyes are on fire.
@whymanwhy: He's in a Macy's commercial, so I guess he's still sewing.
@In Other News...:
He might just be glad he signed that lifetime promotional contract with LL Cool J
I'd like to put a sawbuck on ally in the fourth race vs. SJP
@Jezebabe:
only the fat one went to barnard.
Why has no one mentioned the connection of "Kipton Art" (by Kipton Cronkite) to Walter Cronkite, formerly of CBS News? (Or shall we say the former CBS News?)
Kipton Cronkite apparently is a "distant relation" to Walter, according to the Observer. [www.observer.com]
He's also a financial adviser for Smith Barney, as of April 2006, who focuses on "new opportunities in the art market." [images.radcity.net]
I hate the rich.
There was a time when the useless children of the rich were placed in monasteries. Can we start doing that again?
I heard there's a video out there of Ally throwing a puppy into the East river. What a sick fuck! tsk tsk!
@onebadclam: Or into the army as cannon fodder for colonial wars to make their daddies richer. That'd be all right by me, too.
My mistake. This is the link I should've posted re: the Walter Cronkite-Kipton Cronkite connection: [www.observer.com]
So this new direction goes back to the past and swings around and comes up to the present, whew! Jasper Johns did this in 1960 (number 5 though) but I will bet she had an art book when she was growing up.
Oh my. Jasper Johns did 8s too. But hers are very nice 8s too.
Barbaro wore #8 in the Kentucky Derby. Perhaps Ally and Barbaro shared the same snaffle bit? Perhaps they share the same vet? Ally's been known to throw a shoe.
Once the show is over she'll immerse herself exploring the 9. Then on to her double digit phase.
This is the future of creativity.
+ Watch video
Didn't know horses could paint.
I'm not sure whose teeth are less befitting of their own head - this girl's or Anne Hathaway's.
I thought that said "future of reality" and started to freak out, but it's my pre-caffeine dyslexia.
Which is protecting me from understanding the art. I love the "We Hate Your Kids" tag!
These are not the creative outlets I was hoping she'd expose
I missed series 1 through 7. Anyone catch those?
Too Many Eights; Not Enough Eights!
I walked into the diner and...
So who inspired whom? "Horrible People" or Ally Hilfiger?
I H8 her paintings.
@Jezebabe: All I truly recall of seeing that show was the way she walked in shoes that had even the hint of a heel. She totally led with her toes and the heel of her foot never really made solid contact with the ground. The result caused the mules she was wearing to slap most annoyingly on the sole of her foot. So instead of a typical heel-toe, heel-toe walk it was more like toe-heel, toe-heel. I wish I could demonstrate it here but it reminded me of a horribly over exaggerated runway walk. oh yeah, I h8 her craptasic "art"... you want art? you should see my series of acrylic ass prints.
She was 8 years old when she realized that she would never have to work a day in her life.
What happened to Izzy Gold? The Italian who was so desperate to break into the NY garment industry that he converted to a Jewish name (though not to the faith) and until now was Ally's collaborator and deputy daub?
@HyphyForLifey: Yes, but what does that have to do with Rich Girls?
(What? What'd I say? Is this Jezebel?)
@Jezebabe: I wish they would put that show out on dvd. It was awesome.
@Arundel: hilarious!
Rich Girls was my v first guilty pleasure show. I loved the intro when the Chubby would say "Hi! This is Jamie!" in a normal upbeat cheery voice, and then Ally would follow with "and this is ALlyyyyyyy" in a weird, depressed going-to-kill-herself way. Now I realize she was just a tortured artist.
Also? The best part of the show was how they would ALWAYS talk about Mustique. There was a 5 mention minimum on each episode.
There's no hope left for those of us with actual talent. Why these rich people with no talent keep making more money while the talented never do...I'll never understand.
still, it's better to ignore these things and continue developing our talents...NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!
In a later career, she can make educational videos for dental offices.
Oh my gosh, this is art? We are going to hell, hey rich kids, do the right thing be a patron!!!! Your are not special, you are made of the same decaying matter as everyone else.
I guess daddy has those on the fridge?
Inspired by Bungalow 8?! Ugh this is utter shit, give artists [like myself!] a show instead. We c ould use the money and exposure a lot more. haha
