Pin-up...

Our Pin-up girl is without a doubt, one of the most celebrated, and tragic of them all, Miss. Marilyn Monroe!

What follows was shamelessly stolen from another site, but I am going to use it because it so perfectly captures Marilyn Monroe's life.

This week we take a look at probably the most important glamor girl ever. Marilyn Monroe, in the last few decades, has become less of an actual human being and more of a mythical hero. Her life, on screen and off, made her not only a star, but a pop culture goddess. Volumes have been written about her life, death, and use as metaphor in modern culture. She was a pin-up model, movie starlet, wife of a playwright and baseball legend, and supposed presidential plaything. It was her centerfold that launched the Playboy empire and it was the image of her in that white dress being blown up around her that defined sex appeal in Hollywood in the 1950's. She was a complicated mix of the naive little girl and the sophisticated siren. She lived life fast and died young--the perfect combination for immortality. Monroe has transcended everything she did and everything she was to become part of the world's collective consciousness. She is a myth that will survive far beyond her era.
