this. from what i've heard Cleopatra was the master of this.

This.

Lesbionest... if Marilyn was alive in our era, she would have every male on this earth on their knees drooling and kissing her feet!

We would be all begging and throwing away every cent we have worked for just to smell the scent on her skin, to just hve a glimpse of her perfection.

THIS. Marilyn Monroe was actually very talented and NATURALLY beautiful. Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath
Kim K starred in a mediocre sex tape and now sleeps around with B-List stars

she was known for her presence...
the girl everyone stared at when she walked in the room
the girl the most refined player would get tripped up on

go see her on film, pics can't do justice
the breathy voice & the sharp wit (a quality which most if not all hot actresses/celebrities today lack), the face the body

...but she is overrrated nonetheless

She pushed sexuality during her time. A lot of it was intentional and often the "Marilyn" she portrayed in front of the camera was exaggerated for effect. She was no crazier or more harlot-like than most average women. She just embraced that portrayal. One could argue that the Marilyn Monroe the public knows and the "real" Marilyn were two completely different people.

She was indeed a harlot, but certainly not in the manner we think of it today...word to Kim K's nasty self.
Y'all gotta remember, back in the day, being a "mistress" carried a lot of prestige. It wasn't all about sex. It was about being a compliment, or a boost, to the man that kept you right. You had to be well bred, be refined, highly educated, etc. Being a mistress was a real "job"with social obligations. 

Madame Pompadour...undoubtedly one of the greatest mistresses of all time. Read up on her. 

Kim K is nothing but a glorified farmers tool and Monroe was just a two steps above that.

Regardless, I don't think girls idolise her because of her "harlot" ways.

I nowhere near idolise her but I admire her beauty and her 'healthy' figure. It's nice to see a beautiful Hollywood actress that isn't a size zero or whatever sizes y'all have over there

This. Birds stay giving them quotes on FB

Before becoming an actress, while she was still a stripper, she spent time with the founder of the Church of Satan Anton LaVey. Victims of LaVey have pointed him out as a mind-control programmer. At that time, Marilyn was going by several names including Mona. When they made her a star, Marilyn lived on the 13th floor, in 13E at Sutton Place, NY - the world of the rich and famous. That is where Lena came to help her.

i don't think people truly idolize her. she's just the poster girl for glamour.
sex with the president, diamonds and fame. sounds pretty nice to me.

I always like when girls post this quote from her:



“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

She was a weak woman with a lot of problems that allowed people to take advantage of her desire to be loved.

 

[User 37837]

Natural beauty?

You all obviously don't read. She spent hours doing her makeup and perfecting her look, voice, and demeanor. There's a reason when Norma Jeane was out in the public without makeup no one recognized her. But when she put on her look, everyone was dazzled by Marilyn Monroe.

To me personally she's not worth the effort of trying to dig up her past and research her. She was who she was on-screen and off-screen, alot of people look up to her probably because she didn't stay within the common housewife stereotype and she may/may not have been privy to some secrets. Eff that.

And for the record I'd do both her and Kim K.

 

[cafinest23]

Funny seeing people talk about someone as if they actually knew her. You guys are just quoting what you see in books the only person who knew her true motives is her. And that goes for all men and women.

Can someone bring me to light about the true nature of Marilyn Monroe? I was having a friendly debate with a friend about her. I tweeted about how it's a shame that girls idolize her when she was actually a glorified harlot. Am I wrong? I'm totally fine with being wrong, but I just haven't heard otherwise.

Her argument about why she might be idolized was, "Because she didn't see herself as a harlot. She tipped outside the boundaries of how women should act in the eyes of society."

I took it as Marilyn trying to make being a harlot a societal norm, which I still think is something that shouldn't be looked up to.

What do you guys think? I'd appreciate an educated, unbiased reply. Is there a misconception of her in today's society regarding her being a harlot? I don't want to be calling someone a harlot out of being ignorant of the truth.

Thanks NT

you're spot on, but i dated a chick who was infatuated with her and she said she was such a huge deal because back then she was considered thick and beautiful so i guess she had a hand in women's self esteem, but yea she was definitely a **$@

so what you're saying is, back then being a harlot meant something. there was dignity behind the label!

Is that true? If so, I understand. Don't necessarily agree, but I understand. It still doesn't give reason for girls these days to idolize that kind of behavior.

Hank, thanks. Bookmarked.

Girls idolize her for her classic beauty and glamourized image. She is an iconic legend. What she did in the bedroom or behind closed doors is not of importance to them and why does it need to be when they idolize her for her acting/movie star persona?
A bunch of boys and men idolize druggies,junkies, womanizers, gangsters, and rapists. Do you have any objection to that?
