"When I was a little girl I would pretend I was Alice in Wonderland looking into a mirror, wondering what I would see...I suppose every kid's imagination takes over. The looking glass can be magical, like acting, in a strange way. Especially when you're pretending to be someone other than yourself. This did happen when I put my mom's clothes, tried to fix my hair as she did and powder my face with her big powder puff, and, oh yes, her rouge and lipstick and eye shadow. I would imagine I was sexy, like the top movie star in those days, Jean Harlow."

Marilyn Monroe posing as Jean Harlow, Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Lillian Russell and Marlene Dietrich photoshoot for LIFE magazine, photographs by Richard Avedon.

Marilyn Monroe as Jean Harlow, Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Lillian Russell and Marlene Dietrich photographed by Richard Avedon to recreate images of five celebrated actresses of different eras. Entitled “Fabled Enchantresses” the piece was part of the magazine’s December 22 “Christmas” issue. Avedon found in Marilyn an easy subject to work with.

QUOTE OF THE DAY ↓

“She was so lovely and too young to die. God bless her… I never met Marilyn Monroe, but if I had, I would have tried very hard to help her. A sex symbol is a heavy load to carry when one is tired, hurt, and bewildered.” - Clara Bow

I had a hard time with Lamar vs. Monroe, but I had to go with Monroe because she basically invented being a hot blonde

Hedy Lamarr vs Marilyn Monroe

Really Random Thought

Do and assess what you what w/ this and the colours.

None of y'all can tell me that Marilyn Thornhill, Adult Van, Adult Lottie and Teen Nat's strap game isn't ASTOUNDINGLY good.

Like they are PACKING and do not give a shit.

Prove me wrong.

Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich, press conference to announce Marilyn Monroe Productions, January 1955

"It was 7 p.m. befor Marilyn blew in like some skittish snowflake. She wore a tight white sheath with loose spaghetti straps, white satin slingbacks, white stockings (Milton had to run out to a nurse-uniform store), a fluffy white ermine, and diamond chandelier earrings on loan from Van Cleef & Arpels.”

"After a late-night dinner with Sinatra at the 21 Club, they piled into the limo for a nightcap at Marlene Dietrich's on Park Avenue. It was well past three by the time Marilyn stumbled in, lightly drunk, Guerlain lipstick in Rouge Diabolique smudged on her ermine collar. Dietrich found the red smudge "maddeningly erotic" and fell asleep dreaming of this tipsy, kittenish creature -- whose fluffy white fur and platinum whiskers reminded her of Jean Harlow."
