Marilyn Monroe

I found this image of Monroe on a postcard during my recent visit to Boulder City, Nevada. Specifically, I found it tucked away in a tiny shop named Classic Hollywood Gems within the Boulder Dam Hotel. Dee, the shop owner, was very friendly, commenting on how much she liked Monroe. I do too.

I especially like this picture. In addition to its style, it reminds me of Charlize Theron. However, after looking at dozens of pictures of Theron online, I saw none that supported that impression very well. Theron is beautiful, of course. I think she could manage a pose to resemble Monroe, especially decked out the way Marilyn is in this photo. But the total look is, of course, Marilyn's own.
