Classic.


"I'm not interested in money, I just want to be ..Wonderful*."
-Marilyn Monroe

So for as long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with anything Marilyn Monroe. I have several portraits of her around my room and I've been collecting books about her for years. The only thing I was missing out on this whole time were her movies! I know it sounds crazy, but I was never into old movies. Anyway being the insane clothes fanatic that I am my mom mentioned The Seven Year Itch being on so thanks to DVR I was able to sit and watch it after class the other day. I actually enjoyed the movie! Not only that but the dresses she wore were fabulous! She herself made all the clothes look impeccable and timeless which I feel is very rare these days. The movie was made in 1955 so its now the oldest movie I've ever watched, and I plan on seeing many more! TCM frequently plays most of her films so I'm looking forward to catching up on them now. =) Anyway seeing her in action just confirmed what I had suspected all along.. she really was the most GORGEOUS creature to walk the planet.
Her style + beauty is often imitated, but never duplicated.
