Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

I know it has been a while since I have updated my post. Put the ruler away, Instructor Val!


I chose this new background for 2 reasons.




  1. My favorite color is red.


  2. it reminds me of Marilyn Monroe


I am a huge Marilyn Monroe fan! I have several of her movies on DVD, collector plates, a framed sheet of stamps put out by the USPS a few years ago, books, and even a refrigerator magnet with changes of clothes.





You know the Madonna "Material Girl" video?

Not original! It is copied from a scene in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in which Marilyn sings the song "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend".

Another little bit of trivia for you. When Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to President John F Kennedy, she was sewn into her dress...literally!


Coming soon to a post near you....the story of how my husband and I met.
