Marilyn Moments #5

~"Oh Piggy, You're just fascinating"~

~Extract from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes~

Good Morning Lovelies,

So, I'm sorry I haven't been doing many 'Marilyn Moments', I've been quite busy. I also have been having trouble paying for the clothes to use for these looks, as if I need a specific item, that isn't in star plaza I may need to may a ridiculous price. So today I am doing my fifth 'Marilyn Moments'. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes theres a scene where Piggy (Charles Coburn) is showing Lorelei (Marilyn) "How a python can wrap itself around a goat, and kill it". While Piggy is doing this Mr Malone (Ernie Reid) is taking pictures through a port hole, as he is a private detective for Lorelei's fiancée, Mr Esmond (Tommy Noonan). Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is arguably one of Marilyn's most successful films. Although it was a hit at the box office, Marilyn despised her role, as she detested

being portrayed as a 'Dumb Blonde'. My Co - Owner of this blog, Fear has also portrayed Marilyn in this film, although she is Marilyn singing 'Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend'.

 For this look I have used a basic purple belt, DKNY green wrap top, Michael trousers from Royalty. I also used a film theory emerald necklace and gold Miss Sixty heels. I've been planing to do this look for literally years. 

Hope you like it xx

News: 2/3/14

 Good Evening,
So today was quite a big day for me! 
All day I have been storing photos for the blog,  Doing some 'Marilyn Moment' 's post's in advanced and creating some new segments. Obviously I have created a new one called 'News' which will be written by both Fear and I. Creating and owning a blog isn't as easy as it seems, feel if you want a good one, you need to have ideas written down and photos stored and much more! For most of today I was getting photos of my Stardoll Account and Storing them on a new Hard drive I bought specifically for the blog. So, As many of you may know my all - time favourite television series is 'The Judy Garland Show' (TJGS). TJGS lasted from 1963 - 1964, it only had one series. So, today I was getting some photos of the Show for an upcoming post and I saw, in the news section, some news about The Judy Garland Show. Naturally I clicked on, since The Show isn't much of a 'craze' these days you don't see many articles about it. So apparently Sycamore Entertainment Group have bought the rights to the series and are going to, for the second time in history, air it on television once again. They  are also going to be selling episodes individually on Android and Apple Devices. I also think they are going to release the Show on DVD, but I still need a reply from the information department. I am so excited ;D

I have created some new segments (listed below):

• News
• Outstanding Suites
• Doll of the Week

With Love, Lucy

Marilyn Moments #4

~Niagara~

Niagara is a film starring; Marilyn Monroe, Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters. Niagara was released in 1953. Niagara was one of MM's first major roles.

~My Doll~

The dress i'm wearing is called the 'Cassie Dress' it suits the look I'm trying to portray quite well apart from the hole in the middle (I don't know the proper name). I also replaced the black sandals/heels with gold ones from 'Miss Sixty'. My wig is by; XTheFearX.

Goodnight and Sweet Dreams!

Marilyn Moments #3

~Custom Look~

  ~'Seven Year Itch' Earrings~

Well, today I'm just doing a low - effort look. I am trying to make an effort to try and do a new 'Marilyn Moments' post everyday. So, because it takes time finding the right clothing to make a Marilyn photo, I didn't have time, it's 10pm so I am just doing a custom look! I am wearing an old piece of mine , which I have had for many years. I have also used a pair of earrings which I designed, they are supposed to be a copy of the earrings Marilyn wore in 'The Seven Year Itch'. I am also wearing some basic; White Heels, handbag and gloves.  Enjoy!!

 Goodnight Lovelies!

Marilyn Moments #2 + Bonus

~Marilyn Moments: JFK's Birthday Gala, 1962~

~And the Death of Marilyn Monroe~

~My Doll~

Now, this look is obviously copied from MM at JFK's Birthday Gala. It has been written that Marilyn had had an affair with JFK and even his brother, RFK. In this look I have used "Faux Paws Coat" (Archive), "Marilyn Gown" (Archive). Wig by: XTheFearX. In the original footage Peter Lawford (Kennedy's Brother In - Law) introduced Marilyn, Billing her as "The Late Marilyn Monroe". Marilyn entered the stage with a nude coloured dress with crystal beads. According to many biographers Kennedy later phoned Marilyn and declared that the affair was over. Marilyn wasn't impressed, she had told The Kennedy's that she was going to plan a Press Conference on the 6th of August, 1962. On the 5th of August, 1962, Marilyn's lifeless body was discovered sprawled across her bed, nude, with the phone receiver still in her hand. It has always seemed rather peculiar that she died on the 5th, a day before the day she was going to "Blow the lid of this whole damn thing". There have been many conspiracy theories told about Marilyn's death; Suicide, Murder and more. My personal opinion is Murder.

This would be her last televised appearance.

Marilyn Moments #1

~Marilyn Moments: Golden Globes, 1962~

So today I am introducing a new segment, 'Marilyn Moments'.

It is when I recreate either a photo or event that Marilyn is featured in.

I will try to do them as much as possible! Today is the first!

 In 1962 Marilyn attended the annual 'Golden Globes'. She was nominated and won 'Best Actress in the World in 1961'. This would be one of her last triumphs! As this was 1962 Marilyn died of an 'Probable Suicide' aka Murder, on the 5th of August 1962.

~My Doll~

This is my doll, lucilleball231 as

Marilyn at the Golden Globes. Because Stardoll doesn't have much to offer to MM imperso-

nators, I needed to do as best

as I could. I used the 'Diamond and Emerald earrings from the 'Liz Taylor Collection', Basic Black Heels and a Sparkling Black dress from Voile (Re-Released to Callie's Picks). Hope you like it! The wig is made by the one and only 'XTheFearX', she makes all my wigs! Feel free to contact her and ask for a custom!
