Marilyn Monroe’s Up-Sweep
Restless night where I had terrible dreams and kicked all of the covers off, and must have been thrashing about so much for HOURS that I woke up with my hair looking exactly like this. Granted, I was in plaid … Continue reading

I love this one. Classic period photo – the purse, the stole, the whole look and feel. Continue reading
Sam Shaw’s artistry: Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn frolicking in the surf. That first one just makes me smile every time I see it. Maybe because I don’t see that much difference between her there, a grown woman, and me here, a small child. It has that … Continue reading
