Today is June 1st, my birthday. Aside from the pure excitement of celebrating another year ahead I always feel extra special since I share a birthday with Marilyn Monroe. Cool right? For as long as I can remember I’ve always fantasized that we are alike in some cosmic way. Aside from her undeniably lovable and honest charm, I’ve always admired her iconic look. Red lips, platinum blonde hair, that famous beauty mark, dark eye brows, a perfect pout and classic liner. Here are some of my favorites shots of the legend herself. Happy Birthday Marilyn.
