The lovely but rigorously corseted lady in the background seems to be wistfully checking out Marilyn's behind. I imagine MM had that effect on both genders. I know it's like pointing out that water is wet, but she was a true beauty as well as a knockout.

The women of old Hollywood have always and will continue to inspire me to wear more (rather than less) mascara, lipstick, nail polish, perfume, high heels, pretty dresses, twinkling jewels, and fetching hats. After all, this ain't a dress rehearsal.
