" Peepshow in Marilyn Monroe"

[alivemagdolene]

For my fellow pin-up/vintage/Marilyn Monroe/classic film fans:

Here is a particularly gorgeous entry of her various pin-up and nude photography shoots. If you, like I, are still trying to wipe the memory of the desecration made by Linday Lohan (Bert Stern, what were you thinking?!) of Marilyn's last photo shoot a few years ago, this is a must-see.

i saved the one to disk of her with in a black robe with a coffee cup. such a beautiful woman. it struck me, looking at the pictures, that nowadays they'd pump her full of silicone to make her more bosomy. idiotic hollywood...

When I first saw the "Lindsey" take on Marilyn's last photoshoot, I wasn't ZOMG OFFENDED but even I knew what a shitstorm that could be. I mean, this was the woman's last photoshoot, and I wasn't sure fans would take kindly that a tabloid magnet was "recreating it".

There's a softness to Marilyn that just can't be found in Hollywood nowadays.
