I only have secondary data to go by on what the life of Marilyn Monroe might have looked like. A recent biographical movie titled 'My week with Marilyn' depicts the apparently true story of a rich kid trying to get in the movie business and crossing paths with Marilyn over a week in England.
As to the kind of person, published literature makes her appear to be a dumb vamp, fairly successful in the superficial ways - after all she dated / hung out with the First Dude. I am not sure what quality of hers was exactly endearing but clearly certain famous individuals were taken by her.
Movie shows her on set with Laurence Olivier and portrays her as a manipulative, drugged dimwit (quite the oxymoron) and the way guys swooned at her feet. Her real life pictures hardly define her as 'pretty' but Hollywood went pretty gaga and so did millions of paying audiences.
To this day I see evidence that girls that are considered pretty (superficially) do not carry heavy bags or open doors or wait for a bus. They seem to find enough dolts willing to bestow assistance in the hope of spending some time with them.
In conclusion the term 'dumb blonde' is ironic since the only dumb ones around are the ones that cater to the former, and there is a long line waiting their turn.
Since I ended up multitasking during the screening (free DVD rental was the saving grace) of this idiotic tale I guess I only spent 70 minutes of my life with her?
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
It's like your CV, I guess. You can add a line as an achievement, by doing something which has a 'perception value' among the target audience. A date with Marilyn or Katrina would rate very high in certain quarters.
