Marilyn Monroe in 1953 in Banff, Alberta, visiting Canada to film River of No Return. Photo by John Vachon for Look magazine. View full size.
...heck is Ms. Monroe leaning on you ask? Google knows all:
Forget the figure... Forget the sweater... (OK!, I'm trying, I'm trying) but honestly... from the neck up, she is probably the most beautiful woman I've seen in my lifetime. Some of todays's young adult and teen movie and TV personalities need to take some lessons from her in how to look sexy WITHOUT being obvious about it!
All bumps, bulges and curves.
The two orbs bisecting her head seem to echo another feature of the composition.
As Freud once said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
She's been taking my breath away for 60 years...thank you for the photo, Dave
Marilyn is not too shabby either!
My wife of 41 years was a great "sweater girl" as a teen bride. Today the sweaters all button up for housewear over a sweatshirt and the old ones cover the three housecats at night so they don't catch a chill.
