Marilyn Monroe #1

[Miss Dalloway]

^^Lovely,i love what you wrote.
I always loved her Pucci clothes and how she looked in them but i am seriously surprised that she was never their insipration like A.Hepburn is and was for Givenchy.
I am so curious about that green dress she was buried in...

Adding to the "Marilyn Eye Color" debate....

They sell "novelty" replica versions of her driver's license. It says brown. I looked through the HQs at Doctor Macros, very few were in color, and the ones that were in color seemed overly enhanced color. I'm attaching the one I found that seemed natural. Maybe we need to rent out a theater and have an all-night screening to get to the bottom of things. My TV at home doesn't do her justice!

That's a fun debate hehe. I used to believe they were brown but I now think they were a mix of grey and blue. People who knew her describe her eyes as blue and this driver's licence replica seems bogus to me since they don't use her real name on it and they use a photoshoot picture. Also I've looked for candid color pictures of her and her eyes appeared to be blue/grey. It wasn't contacts because the size of her pupils wasn't always the same and it doesn't change with colored contacts. (it remains large all the time) I've noticed that her pupils were often dilated, that and the quality of the pics of the time may explain why it's so hard to figured her eyes colour out.


These pics of her at the golden globes (from fotosmarilyn.canalblog.chttp://fotosmarilyn.canalblog.com/albums/golden_globe/photos/8955934-sans_titre4.htmlom ) are an illustration of what i mean.
look around her pupils the colour is blue/grey.
You can see the size of her pupils change reacting to the light, indicating that she's not wearing contacts.
