For Love of the Marilynettes

Earlier this year I stumbled upon a hardcore group of Marilyn fans.  Although hardcore seems a little bit fair because here is a group that gives Marilyn and love and recognition she so long for during her short life.  It's all too typical of artists in general to not be appreciated during their lifetime.  What makes it so extraordinary in Monroe's case was that she was one of the most celebrated beauties of her time, but as celebrated as she was, she found herself disrespected at every turn.

Now that is unfair to her fans that stuck with her through the 50's and 60's- they are the luckiest to have been able to follow Marilyn antics and news as they happened.  What would she do next?  What would she be wearing?  Who is the next gentleman on her arm?

This new generation of Marilyn fans, or "Marilynettes," as they lovingly coined themselves are much more than your typical Marilyn fan.  They've become a close-knit group no matter how far away they live from eachother, and use eachother as resource for Marilyn trivia.  They also make it their mission to rebuke typical Marilyn myths and to only contribute to the positive influence Marilyn had on culture and not to spread any nasty lies or theories.

I implore any Marilyn fan to seek our Marilynettes out, they are more than welcoming to new members, after all the more Marilyn fans the better!
