“I am dedicating this blog to the lovely Marilyn Monroe. Her birthday was on June 1st 1926. She would have been 85 years old. Marilyn Monroe was a beauty and cultural icon. Her amazing beauty and tumultuous life has left people fascinated and in awe of her.
Marilyn was born into a traumatic situation that haunted her at every stage of her life. She was misunderstood and exploited as an adult.
