MARILYN MONROE: What you may not have known



As I've said before I am an avid collector of books based on Marilyn Monroe.

Each author has a different angle, a different take on who Marilyn was. In my opinion some of these authors tend to be a bit biased. They focus more on the sensational stories of her life. Unfortunately, her portrayal in these books only scrape the tip of the iceberg. No one will ever really know who Marilyn was, not even those who knew her. She was a changeling in one body. That was the brilliance of this woman. Monroe was a character, one that she could turn on and off. The glamour and sexuality of Marilyn Monroe was created by Ms. Norma Jean herself. While many myths and bios of Marilyn paint her as a schizophrenic, manic, vapid, ditzy,broken and loose mess she was the complete opposite. Marilyn was intelligent, She loved diving into books and writing poetry. She had a deep passion for politics and civil rights. She also created the "dumb blonde" persona many believed to be real.

Dressed for the town...

Today was such a beautiful day, I had to venture out and take it all in.

It's been raining alot and was supposed to snow today as well. That's right...SNOW! Snow isn't so easy to come by in your everyday California city. Since there was still a chill in the air I decided to bundle up in wool.

My Dream Job

As of right now this show is the love of my life, but the bloopers make the show and the actors so much more lovable. Wouldn't you love to have a boss like Michael Scott? Well I know some people who say they already do, and say that it can be stressful sometimes but, I think in general to have a workplace this fun and eventful would be too great.

I don't even know where to begin. I've been listening to these boys for as long as I can remember. They've never turned their back on their fans and I will never turn my back on them. They are my all time favorite band, and I will always support them.

Great Day To Get Lost

Sitting in mt freezing cold house just staring at the sun outside made me want to just burst. So I decided to get up and take a trip (not too far from home) and look at the beautiful nature. In the process of dong that, I became so lost! But in all honesty I could have cared less at that moment. The day was beautiful, I had good tunes, and enough gas to get me back home. This day just got me ready for the warm weather.
