There have been PMs
(private messages) asking me to write something more about Marilyn. I am going to try my best to collage her life
events and thoughts on how she felt, walked, dressed and lived her life. To capture Marilyn’s life events and quotes is
a complete project in itself and I would want to really push myself and want to
do justice to what this sexy and intelligent female is and was all about. If you go to think of it, there is a bit of
Marilyn in all of us- whether you like it or not!!
The quotes which I
have been reading truly make me ponder about her life. Was she happy, sad, intelligent,
shrewd ? I feel Marilyn was a
package and dictated terms on how she would live her life.
I was really taken
aback by this quote from the lady herself wherein she quotes :
Yes, she wanted a home
and someone to call her own. She wanted to be a wife, a mother and all that any
normal woman would have wanted to become. But her love for the silver screen
and the strings attached were strong enough that she could not somehow just leave
everything aside. Many a times, she had said that I have so much, but I am
still a pauper within. She says men did not
understand her or was it that she did not want to be understood. Was she trying
to have that turtle shell around herself? I feel she feared humans for sure – yes, she
has admitted to it as well, or else who would not want to live happy?
For me, she epitomises
and correctly fits in every word (Live Life Queensize) but there was some
sadness within. She said that
Hollywood paid for an onscreen kiss in dollars but a genuine soul would not
cost even few cents. She bartered her real soul for dollars and she loved the
lavish life and the extravagance that came with it. She worked hard to get to that pinnacle and
yes topped the list of the rich and famous. There were people with her but
there was this sense of loneliness which only she knew. Marilyn was fighting a
battle within herself, she was a like a kid within who wanted to be pampered,
loved and even scolded, but there was no one to call her own. Just the loneliness which engulfed her
in her pompous home.
Women are considered
arrogant and aggressive when they speak their minds and hearts out, but men are
not. An aggressive man is considered to be a go getter but, Marilyn
definitely had a say in a man’s world. She did not mind giving a pound of flesh for allowing her to
wear the pants, she loved to command and dictate her men. I would not say that
she did not enjoy the attention and paparazzi that came with it, but just that
somewhere she would have got bored of all this life drama. This is clearly
visible in what she penned “You know most people really don’t know me” – I feel she wanted to maintain that enigma
woven around her life and she loved it every bit.
The moments of her silence
were moments when she would restore herself, her balance of mind and juxtaposed
feelings. Men did not find
her boring, because she was intelligently and imperfectly beautiful. The
famous Chanel V is something that she loved wearing (to the point) that she
wore it even on bed. This
voluptous and beautiful siren completely changed the definition of being sexy
and acted sexy every inch of her body. She made rules which she believed in,
broke the rules, took ownership for her mistakes, admitted them – She was real
but society found her artificial.
That’s all for now from
my Google Pandora
Luv
and blessings always!!!
