“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene
Girls and guys!! Don’t let anyone try to shame you into presenting yourself in a way that doesn’t make you feel 100% confident and good about yourself. Rock your bodyand your aesthetic and let others rock theirs.
The more I think about it I find the myth of “real women have curves” offensive, I have curves and I do like them (sometimes) but it doesn’t make any more of a woman than a woman without curves!
I only walk two minutes down the road for a vanilla coke (because I just can’t get enough) and some strange man stops me on a bike asks me where I’m going then tells me he’s coming home with me and shouts after me when I walk/run away and then I wonder why I have anxiety issues. This comes a week after having a guy throw a drink over me at work! I just wish people would allow me to go about my day without feeling threatened!
