A Day in the Life of Marilyn Monroe

More Marilyn?

Jenny sat down at her vintage desk after a long day and began reading her new favorite book: A Day in the Life of Marilyn Monroe. She always enjoys a good tale about Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn had an interesting life in which she had three husbands and alleged affairs with John F. Kennedy. Besides having numerous hits, she also acted in many popular movies. After reading the first chapter, she could feel her eyes sinking, so she puts the book down and decides to call it a night. She then went through her nightly routine: untangle her bleach blonde hair, take off the red lipstick, put on her typical two-piece pink and white stripe button down and collared 50's pajamas, and sleep until the birds begin chirping from the morning sun. She, as well as all of her friends, knew everything about Marilyn. They knew that Marilyn had a unique sense of style, and they knew that she wanted everyone to embrace their curves and believe in themselves. They, like many others, believe in anamarilynism: the belief in the coming back of the Marilyn Monroe style and way of thinking.

Dressing like Marilyn Monroe is very typical of people today. They wear t-shirts with her face on them, copy her signature bleach blonde hair and red lipstick, and try to follow her unique fashion statements such as: white dresses, bulky sweaters, pleated skirts, and tons of red; even though she has been dead for quite some time, none of them seem to know anything about her. The difference between anamarilynists and posers is the amount of knowledge and inspiration they have. The reason for this is that the people who believe in anamarilynism feel an emotional connection between Marilyn and them. Posers, on the other hand, are those who do not sympathize with her and wear vintage just because that is what everyone else is wearing. If you are familiar with the horizontal black and white striped shirt, white capris, and red shoes, you may know quite a bit about vintage. If not, think of what Taylor Swift typically wears out on the streets: pleated skirts, collared and patterned blouses, and tons of red. She even named her new album Red. Although Taylor Swift does wear vintage, she does not believe in anamarilynism. Taylor Swift, like many, is a poser. To truly believe in anamarilnism, Marilyn must be like your life guru, your role model, and your fashion icon. One surprising celebrity that believes in anamarilynism is Lindsey Lohan. Yes,
