A sex symbol is a thing, and i hate it to be a thing. - Marilyn Monroe

| Monroe #1 Fear |
She has inspired generations, has overcome obstacles, had give stardom a new peak and will mesmerize the world forever. Her beautiful, artificial, tragic and controversial life was a mirror of all the beauty of Hollywood and all its ugly symptoms. Of course we are talking about Marilyn Monroe. Her death is, up until today, a mystery and has inspired musicians, singers, artists and models. She has become a true legend and an iconic figure of pop culture. Monroe has really made her way into fashion and academia and into many other ventures. I myself am very inspired by Monroe and her story, i have read many books on her and i have painted Monroe several times.
From the first of may i will start to post an 11 picture long series entitled:
Marilyn: The Last Hours, a reenactment drawn by the model of Amanda Lepore. Each day I will post a picture, and add a little information about the story I have created behind the series. On May 12th I will explain the inspiration between the project and maybe some "outtakes". So I hope you are excited for the turnout!
