50 years is a long time for any girl to keep a beautiful reputation going. But in true iconic style, Ms.Monroe has quite literally done it with her eyes closed.
I will admit, when it comes to iconic females Marilyn Monroe was one I knew very little about, until my very own bombshell my baby sister boo became her biggest brit-girl fan.
She, like Marilyn, very blond, naturally beautiful, intelligent and always knows how and when to use her image when necessary. I remember the first film we watched together staring Ms.Monroe.... 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' 1953 directed by Howard Hawks co-staring Jane Russel. It was beautiful. The costumes, the characters; everything.
It's so strange to believe that a woman so spell binding and enigmatic was only with us for a heartbeat.
Yes she was a film star, icon, business woman and mistress to many a rich man, but what really was the obsession with Marilyn.
My personal answer, she was a real woman. All be at as I have said already a very unusually beautiful one, she was real all the same. Her big Hollywood smile was what made 'the Hollywood smile' famous, the peroxide hair, captivating curves and cheeky 'girl next door' out look on life. I don't know many women who would not love to admit the only thing they wore to bed was Chanel No'5!
In a way that's what made Marilyn Monroe so new and beautiful, she was iconic in her own way, yes she was another Hollywood wonder of the 20th Century but her looks and personality took it to new heights.
Even after her death in 1962 she still continued to flood people's imaginations with inspiration and idea's, Andy Warhol for example, did the piece 'lips' inspired by that very smile.
How many women of this day and age can we honestly depend on being the next icon due to such beauty and style without them being surgically enhanced or photoshopped an inch from their life!
No words can describe such a beauty as Ms.Monroe, except in my eye's my sister. (But that may just be a little biased...)
