Very true! I love that quote.
I know. It's such an interesting quote. Marilyn had a lot of interesting things to say, but people back then hardly ever took her seriously.
I've never read that quote before. It's amazing.
Isn't it!
The sad thing is, as with all beauty. They expect you to smile and be beautiful, heaven forbid you have a brain!
Exactly Ginger! That's why sometimes it's nice to not be beautiful, cause then you can be smart... ;-D
Hahaha, sorry, I just called you Ginger for some RANDOM reason! Please, pay no attention to me!
