Marilyn At 100

 


So, what is it about her- what is the reason why we can't let her go? Marilyn Monroe would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year if she hadn't taken her life a very long time ago. It was the time of our American Camelot when men ruled the world and women pretended they did. What is it about her that still draws people to her? Was it her beauty or was it her doe eyed look of vulnerability that keeps her in our modern world, a world that would be so foreign and unforgiving. Every word, every thought and screw up would be recorded, analyzed and used. Or, maybe she might not even be noticed. We have Sydney Sweeney with the vacant head and over spilled dresses, who plays the hapless, dumb victim. She could have dressed up like a dog or a baby and have men masturbate as she opened those big blue eyes and asked for love. We have AI, where a man can conjure up his soul mate. ( 👀🫵 Aaron Rodgers) She can do and be whatever he wishes. Who needs a real woman with real issues when you can have a Brittani with an I? Besides, she was old in LaLa land terms. Thirty-six. Ancient. 

Marilyn would have been chewed up and spit out by the modern influencers who no longer even look human. Her platinum hair and real breasts would be considered strange. The mole would be excised. And her weight- she'd be scarfing down Ozempic like candy because looking soft and feminine is now frowned upon. Her alleged movie set antics would never be tolerated today. And of course there's the fact that she can't be spanked on her ass by a vile piece of garbage in the movie, 'The Misfits.' Meh, maybe I'm wrong. So, what possible role could there be for her? Monroe was not a terrible actress because she played herself most of the time- the vulnerable, bad luck gal who can't catch a break. We just watch her lips quiver and her breasts heave and we love her.

She also has a damn fine marketing company who knows how to exploit a dead woman. Depending on who to believe, Monroe made $10-80 million dollars. Last year. The money goes to her estate, the marketing company. Wow, not bad. Living off a dead woman for decades. I'm surprised the Trump's haven't used this grift yet. I guess we'll see if those Rump watches are still selling in 2086. 

There's nothing wrong with admiring someone. I'm just not sure what there is to admire, here. She obviously wanted to be famous, yet hated every minute of it, seeming to try and sabotage the image she created. From what I have read, she wanted more than anything to be a wife and maybe a mother, yet, she chose terrible partners who treated her as a possession. Let's not forget the Kennedy brothers who took turns fucking her. She gravitated toward powerful men who were lousy human beings. 

I truly wish Marilyn could actually rest in peace. Let her go. There is nothing she gives to us other than a feeling of sadness and what ifs.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
