Person setting up her clothes for an auction notices this:

"The process of cataloguing and displaying Marilyn’s bits took months. During this time I learned some crazily illuminating stuff about the breathy blond bombshell. Brace yourself for some next-level revelations.

Right away, I discovered that Marilyn was shockingly and unimaginably slender. She was sort of like Kate Moss but fleshier on top. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

When it came to finding mannequins to fit her dresses, I simply couldn’t. M.M.’s drag was too small for the average window dummy. Smaller “petite” mannequins existed, but I could not bring myself to place Marilyn’s iconic garments on these perky fiberglass dollies. The frocks seemed too important and historic. For the public installation I decided to give them the Shroud of Turin treatment."

I think this thread might be almost the same as one from one a year ago....well, at least the topic is, even though the linked article is a new one.

Roissy wrote a piece on the "MM was big" myth as well.

The author brings this to mind - What is with that whole gay obsession with Marilyn Monroe anyway?

Fame + Glamour + Attention From High Value Men + The Drama Of Doomed Self-Destruction + Vagina = gay and teenage girl worship.

Marilyn, Evita Peron, Judy Garland, Rihanna, Brittany, Titanic. Taylor Swift hasn't reached self-destruction yet, but give her time.
