Marilyn Monroe #1

[Platinum Blonde]

Today Marilyn Monroe would have been 81. I would like to ask has there been a book published that is about the Marilyn Monroe auction at Christie's in New York? I know there is a catalouge about it.

Today people thinks Angelina Jolie is more beautiful than Marilyn. I don't think you even can compare them. If Angelina Jolie is beautiful, I don't have enough words to describe Marilyn!

^^ I haven't heard this comparison - but I would have to agree that you can't really compare the two! Marilyn is timeless, and I'm not sure Angelina would fit that description...

This is maybe a stupid question. But how do you know that? Because of people that you been talking to or/and the media? Personally I think Marilyn is much more beautiful on the outside. Before Angelina was not one of women I found most beautiful. But I think I'm starting to change my mind.

Not that Angelina isn't beautiful - I think she is, but if I would associate her more to "humanatarian" and less to "fashion" as opposed to Marilyn who I associate more with "beauty and fashion"
i'm also not quite sure were this comparison is coming from. i haven't seen anything about this in the media - or maybe its just a comparison you are doing...?

angelina is very overrated

Angelina is sexy for sure, but I don't think her face is particularly pretty the way Marilyn's is. Marilyn was so soft and feminine, whereas Angie can look more androgynous.

Not a long time ago there was a list in the news/media of the most beautiful women in history or something. I think Angelina was number one and Marilyn number two or three.

Yes,Angelina is Beautiful but too tom-boyish to represent the Most Beautiful WOMAN-it has to be someone ultra-femme like Bardot,Loren or Monroe.Now,these women represent THE WOMAN qualities.

Monroe is so beautiful! She's sexy, gorgeous, beautiful and confident to be herself.
What's not to love?
