What kind of Fifties Love blog would I have if I didn't share some of my
favorite images of the one and only Marilyn Monroe? I began to fixate on Marilyn way back in the 70's when I was just a little thing. By the time I was 25 I had more images of Marilyn than I knew what to do with. Stacks of books, posters, t-shirts, absolute tons of Marilyn memorabilia. I started coloring my naturally medium blonde hair a beautiful, glowing platinum when I was 14. It took me two and a half decades to get over that little habit...even now I have to force myself not grab for the 'palest blonde' box of Nice-n-Easy when it comes time to wash that gray right outta my hair. Either way I pinky promised my daughters that I would stop so, enuf said. Anyway, please enjoy.

Gorgeous post today
ReplyDeleteI love MM too. I had a huge number of books about her up until a few years ago when they had to go. She was just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!

Lovely pictures of Marilyn. I also love her. She's the reason I love all things vintage today.
ReplyDeleteI like to think about her and did she have the same thoughts about herself like I do sometimes. I see her all glammed up and I wonder if she's feeling like a regular person inside, and wondering if she really looks ok. She had a luminous quality the hasn't been matched. Zootsuitmama
ReplyDeleteI love the tinting on these photos! They're really beautiful. I did the same bottle blonde thing in college in a fit of love for Kim Novak...what we'll do for our beauty icons!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
