Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. -Marilyn Monroe

Really boring stuff you probably didn't want to know:
- Millie
- 17. More than slightly insane. Also: COLLEGE STUDENT (and English tutor at said college); adorer of all things vintage; a watcher of classic film since the day I was born (1940 "Pride and Prejudice"); and an uncontrollable blogger about the randomest stuff relating to vintageness. Don't make fun of Bobby Darin, Ingrid Bergman, or stupid westerns from the 50's. I will seek revenge. {WHOA! I should probably change this! Just possibly the creepiest profile. EVER! ;-D} By the way, just in case you are reading this from my profile and not my blog, ClassicForever is the main place to find me!
Forever mine....

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!
