Marilyn Moments #6

Good Evening Sweethearts,
I'm Sorry I haven't been doing many 'Marilyn Moments' recently, I've actually been working on my suite.
I'm doing my whole suite up to resemble 5th Helena Drive, Brentwood. Marilyn's First and Only Home.
I'm trying to do my best. I've yet to find a Puppy that resembles the likeness of Maf. The New Suite will feature
bit's and pieces of the House in 1962 and the house in 2012 + My own Artistic License. I've only done the front
with the blue gate and the Living Room. I'm not sure how to do the Bedroom, I think I may replace the Pill Bottles
(On her bedside) with Perfume Bottles, To keep a Good Thought. So, today's Marilyn Moments will feature those new rooms.


















Keep a Good Thought for Marilyn

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

With Love, Lucy

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.

~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!
