Showing posts with the label Marilyn Monroe

There's this picture painted on my wall

Insomnia time. Wish list boredom. What am I adding now? I was adding board games, puzzles, and marbles (I collect marbles), but now I'm adding art and posters. I want to finish decorating My condo. My living room is all in Marilyn Monroe art. I already have oh.. close to 20 pieces that I need to hang. My side hall is going to be all Audrey Hepburn. I have one large Print that ya'll have probably seen already. One side of the main hall is going to be framed puzzles I finish. I used to be addicted to doing puzzles. I miss them. I should get back into it. It exercises My brain. The other side is going to be all art/posters relating to NYC. I miss My home city. I only have one print so far, of Grand Central Station. I'm currently going to town on Amazon, wishlisting a lot of stuff. My kitchen is going to be all frog-related items. Right now I only have a few figurines. But when I'm done, everything from the figurines to the plates to the dish towels will be froggy! I don...

Behind the scenes, I’m incomplete and I’m undone

lyrics by Francesca Battistelli How about a look behind the scenes? An in-depth photo post of what it's like in My batcave? It's not new pics ala 365, but it should be fun eh? My hood: (yes that's the shuttle, on the back of a 747, flyin by My condo) Ghost, the 20lb cat, loves My gay socks: She also loves My money: And My stripper shoes: Esche guards My bewbs: Vincent is My derpy boy. Love his WHY SO SERIOUS 'stache: Vincent with his mama, Cleo: Via is the littlest. Only 6 or 7 lbs! She's Cleo's daughter, from the same litter as Vincent. It's funny how they're littermates. Little Via with 15lb Vincent? LOL: L to R Cleo, Ghost, Vincent, Via: Esche has a very soft belleh. She likes to be told that she is the Softest Cat In All Of The Land: Big TV and little TV. I need a better entertainment centre for them: Mah DVDs. I totally need shelves for them. Want to get them all alphabetized. The ones in the centre itself are 3 stacks deep. The ones on top rise up ...

Some Like It Hot

I am obsessed with Marilyn. I have a Marilyn theme in My living room and man, when it's finished... Woooha! I've been plotting a Marilyn Monroe costume for some time now. Something breakaway for performing on stage, but still looks whole for shoots. Here's a refresher course: I'm going for her pink look in Gentlemen, like thus: Here. Here. Here. Of course, there are costume companies that churn out a cheap knockoff in bulk, but I want a custom one, and like I said, I want it breakaway. I'd be chopping the skirt of it up to mid-thigh, toning the back bow down a bit (maybe make it as wide as My ass but, not much past it!) I think, since so many photos and clips from the film show so many shades of pink, I'd like to go with something not quite... this dark . More like the shade used in the promo art , if I can. As long as I can get matching gloves. Then I need to snag the rhinestones, since acquiring that many diamonds is so very unrealistic LOL. I'd need to ge...
