Today would have been Marilyn's 84th birthday! Can you imagine her growing old in front of our eyes, without her youthful image frozen in time? Happy Birthday MM! <3
Marilyn and I share June 1 as our birthdays. I turned 40 this past week (YUCK!). Never does a birthday go by that I don't say out loud, "Happy birthday Norma Jean."

My Inspiration
Behind the Inspiration
Many of you might not know I began this blog after being so inspired by Marilyn Monroe and all she was. I'm in love with old Hollywood and Marilyn embodies everything about it that I am inspired by. Who better to inspire me? Over the years, the blog has become less about Marilyn and more about me, my love of fashion, and appreciation for life, however I won't forget the inspiration that started it all, thus the name, "Blonde Episodes."
Blonde Bits By Marilyn
"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."
"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."
"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."
"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."
"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."
"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Happy Birthday, Marilyn!
I would be money she would still be gorgeous!
She would have been such an interesting older lady. The stories she could have told. Happy Birthday marilyn.
I think she would still be beautiful, but would have become a major philanthropist. Her beauty was more than skin deep.
Happy Birthday, Marilyn!
I'm sure she'd still be a beauty. HOpe all has been well with you, the countdown for the last days of school must be so busy!

I thought of you when they released the only known photograph of Marilyn and JFK together this week.
