My Week With Madonna
Imagine?
That's kind of what I initially felt when I first saw the publicity photos of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe for the film, My Week With Marilyn. Overall an entertaining movie, Monroe enthusiasts may take some issue throughout the film.
Last night while watching, I was having flashbacks of Innocence Lost. "I'm not a Model T, you can't just crank me up", screams an erratic Marilyn Williams using a Monroe quote from her final interview with Life Magazine's associate editor, Richard Meryman, 5 years after the filming of The Prince and The Showgirl. That kind of shyt always bugs me out.
I was excited to see it. I liked the movie, didn't love it. For a few (brief) moments, I saw Michelle looking like Monroe. Those are tough shoes to fill, she was pretty good and that's all I will say about the movie.

The Borderline Hat
That perfect Madonna mix of modern and retro.
Part flapper, part bathing beauty, all sex - everybody wanted a version of this hat. Still do. Madonna loved it so much that she wore it to the Prince concert a year after filming the Borderline video.
Lucy and Ethel doing some vaudeville with Fred's old partner in an episode of I Love Lucy, Mertz and Kurtz - aired October 11, 1954.
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.
Fabulous beauties hamming it up before they head to the sea.
The One and Only. Taking it to the street.
