31 days of Marilyn - Day 1

Well here we go day one of the Marilyn Month - just a few things past and present to do with our lady.
Firstly 2 magazines are out this week with 1 page articles in them they are Best and Grazia, nice little articles that mention Michelle Morgan and her wonderful book Marilyn Monroe Private and Undisclosed - not sensational or scandalous, just a nice couple of pages celebrating our favorite star


 Best & Grazia magazine - photo by Michelle Morgan



 Marilyn on the beach at Amagensett by Sam Shaw 1956 - one of my favorite sets of photos


Marilyn the Musical - Publicity from a 1980's West End Musical dedicated to Marilyn which starred the late Stephanie Lawrence as Marilyn (I was lucky enough to see Stephanie in Starlight Express and Blood Brothers and she was fantastic wish I could have seen her in this - I do however own a cassette of some songs from the show)



Book of the day is Metamorphosis - this book is a fairly new one among the plethora of Marilyn Monroe book that have been released over the years and it is fantastic - not much text but the quality of the photographs is superb!


And finally a quote of the day from our Marilyn herself 

"I'm not interested in money - I just want to be wonderful!"


That's all for today 31 days of Marilyn returns tomorrow xxx
