Why Marilyn-Themed Photo Shoots Miss the Mark
In honor of Marilyn Monroe and who she really was behind the larger-than-life persona, we’ve gathered eighteen photos of the famous blonde looking less like a sexpot and more like the multifaceted woman she was. After all, what’s sexier than an imperfect woman with insecurities and fears like every other human being on the planet? In my opinion, that’s sexier than the most iconic photos of Ms. Monroe. Here’s to Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jean, and everything she was in between.
“I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.”

“I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am pretty, but not beautiful. I have friends, but I am not the peacemaker. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”
—Marilyn Monroe

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them anyways.”
―Marilyn Monroe
