For those of you who have been visiting the site the past couple of years - I'm sure the recent photos of me are a surprise!  I have been a blonde for a long time but I decided it was time for a change.  I don't know how Marilyn kept it up all those years.  It is a lot of work.  So I have now joined the dark side.  I tell people I am going through my Norma Jeane phase :)

My first introduction to Marilyn came as a result of being a huge Madonna fan. The "Material Girl" Video had come out and everyone was comparing her to someone named Marilyn Monroe. I saw a brief clip from Marilyn's "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" number on the news and I began wondering who this beautiful woman was? I picked up my first book "Marilyn" by Barris/Steinem and I was absolutely captivated by her and I still am today.

I enjoy photography books instead of the biography types. I have read her life story enough and as time goes on, more and more liars come out of the wood-work just looking for sensationalism. Marilyn's image is more fascinating to me anyway. I could spend hours just looking at her photos. I also don't read the murder-cover-up books either. I try to celebrate her life not the way she died.

I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories about the Kennedy's and the mob.  My belief is that her death was an accident.  I don't think she wanted to kill herself as she had so much to live for at that time but her dependency on pills and alcohol was too much.  There was no one there to save her.

My favourite Marilyn movies include; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Seven Year Itch and Bus Stop.

My passion for Marilyn has lead to some appearances in the media.

I love to travel.  I have visited LA for 45th and 50th Marilyn Memorial. You can look at photos from my various trips here.   TRAVEL REPORTS
