About Marilyn Monroe
Perhaps the most iconic of all of the blonde bombshells to ever grace the silver screen, Marilyn Monroe projected an alluring combination of innocence and sensuality. Having been linked to several equally iconic alpha males like {John F. Kennedy}, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller, Marilyn also served as a muse to Andy Warhol for one of his most works and Elton John, inspiring the song, "Candle in the Wind."
Where Marilyn shined most of all was on film, starring in such classics as "Some Like It Hot," "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," and "The Seven Year Itch."
Dressing up as Marilyn Monroe
When once asked what she wore to bed, Marilyn Monroe coyly replied, "Chanel No. 5." While a little dab'll do ya, it may take a bit more to transform into this iconic screen goddess. Choose from an array of Marilyn Monroe costumes inspired by her film appearance. There's the immortal white halter dress she wore in "The Seven Year Inch," billowing at waist-level as Marilyn stood over a street heating grate. Another memorable costume is Ms. Monroe's pink strapless ensemble from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," accentuated nicely with the Marilyn Jewelry Set, proving that diamonds really ARE a girl's best friend! Say "Goodbye, Norma Jean" and hello, Marilyn as you top it all off with the officially licensed Marilyn wig, to give you instant platinum blonde tresses!
