With Love, Marilyn Monroe # 1


With Love from, 
"Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend"

Marilyn Monroe has been widely recognized throughout the years as being a highly iconic public figure whose infinite glamour has stood the test of time - 50 years after her passing. 
Some of her most iconic moments in life have captivated millions and have inspired many to borrow her signature style and poise; proving that MM is truly ageless in the public's heart.


"Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend" 

from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes


Here my Stardoll Doll and Suite are designed to emulate 

MMs iconic scene from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes



As a way to celebrate Marilyn and express fans' immense support for her, many significant people over the years have copied her from this musical scene in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Madonna used the basic theme of this scene to inspire her music video for Material Girl in 1984. The music video was a mimicry of Marilyn Monroe's performance of the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The mimicked scenes are interspersed with scenes of a Hollywood director trying to win the heart of an actress, played by Madonna herself.
Blake Lively also tried her hand at portraying MM as her character in the T.V show, Gossip Girl in a dream like sequence.


However, no matter how many people try to emulate her, Marilyn Monroe will always be an original. Her style and grace have captivated me as an individual and has been a major source of inspiration for Amber and I on Stardoll. Feel free to express your love for MM by dressing your doll up in this iconic look and sending us pictures of your doll and suite! We'd love to see your interpretation of Marilyn, all the while spreading the MM love!

Thanks for reading
With Love, The Fear
