Inspiration – Marilyn Monroe

July 7, 2012

It’s been a while since I’ve done an inspiration post, I thought these were beautiful and had to be shared.

All photos are by Richard Avedon and depict Marilyn Monroe dressed up as other cinema legends, in 1957. How great are these?

Marilyn as Theda Bara

Marilyn as Lillian Russell

Marilyn as Marlene Dietrich

Marilyn as Jean Harlow

Marilyn as Clara Bow

(Found on Retronaut.)

Any plans for the weekend? Today I’ll be going to Lincoln for my friend’s birthday party – which will include a clairvoyant and a meal, tomorrow I’ll be visiting a Vintage Fair in London, courtesy of Lakota, who was kind enough to host a giveaway on her blog! It’s a done deal that I’ll have plenty of photos to share.

Have a great weekend!
