One of my favorite things about Marilyn is that although many people have slammed on her for being the epitome of what Western Civ considers the dumb blonde cliche, she was in fact, really fucking bright and had made her way through most of literature's serious names. There's a pretty famous photo of her reading Ulysses.

Looks like she's reading a script in #1. *snags it* All credit to you, and many thanks!

Um, where'd you get the image for #1?

I ask, 'cuz it looks an awful lot like an icon I made years ago (see icon with this entry or my icons page). It's possible you used the same source material and just happened to crop it the same, but . . . I thought I'd check.

I guess the cropping is slightly different. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just startled me to see something so similar to an icon I've used regularly for years!

These are all lovely, but I think #3 is my favourite. Snagging for later use, will credit. :-)

Agree with your comment, but more importantly - ICON LOVE.

No worries. I found mine through a Google search which turned up a site called Stellar Graffitti which is all Monroe pictures. :)
