Some costume test shots for The Misfits, her final Some costume test shots for The Misfits, her final completed film. Some MMC Trivia: I had a chance to buy the Jean Luis designed black dress and jacket in 2006 for “a mere $60,000.00.” An enormous amount of money, but a steal by today’s standards considering the high prices at auction today. Not buying it is one of my biggest collecting regrets. “Coulda, shoulda, woulda…” Ironically and unbeknownst to me at the time, at the same auction where the black costume was offered I bought an auction lot of her furs, which included the white fox fur collar attached to the white sweater that she wore in the same film, though I didn’t make the connection until much later. #marilynmonroe
Literally me right now. Super excited about my rec Literally me right now. Super excited about my recent work with the official @marilynmonroe social media accounts. I very much appreciate them for giving little ol’ me the opportunity to share items from the collection with such a huge audience of Marilyn’s fans and followers. Stay tuned! It’s to be launched this week. 🤗 #marilynmonroe
Topic of the Day: Marilyn’s Smoking. Whenever Topic of the Day: Marilyn’s Smoking. Whenever I see photos of Marilyn with a cigarette I think to myself, “Hmmm… What’s REALLY going on there?” Was she really a smoker? Did she have a nicotine addiction? Was it just that “society” thing that people did to “fit in?” Did she enjoy the nicotine rush? Clearly Marilyn focused on health and fitness. She did yoga, lifted weights and paid attention to what she ate. At the same time, the negative impacts of cigarette smoking wasn’t as widely publicized during her day as compared to today. Were cigarettes just a “prop” that she used when being photographed? There are several examples of her smoking while being shot by professional photographers. Yet she also smoked at public events (press conferences), social engagements (eating out), and business meetings (Edward R. Murrow meeting). The really interesting thing for me is the fact most photos of her smoking are from the 1950s. There are few (if any?) photos of her from the 1960s smoking. Imagine seeing Marilyn at the JFK gala with a cigarette in her hand at the reception following the event! What do you think? What was Marilyn’s relationship with the cigarette? #marilynmonroe

Picture It: New York City, March 9, 1955. You’r Picture It: New York City, March 9, 1955. You’re working as a server at the Astor Theater the night of the world premiere of “East of Eden” starring James Dean. You’re in the kitchen preparing your next tray of food to serve to guests, and MARILYN MONROE walks right behind you! What do you do??? 😱 #marilynmonroe
BUYER BEWARE… I am starting to get A LOT of que BUYER BEWARE… I am starting to get A LOT of questions about the many, many “Marilyn Monroe Personally Owned” items listed on eBay right now, which come with a COA or Letter of Provenance from Bebe Goddard, Joe Franklin, Kent Warner, Sidney Rosenstein, and others. Some of the listings have absolutely zero provenance (fake or real), simply stating “This item was owned by Marilyn Monroe.” I just perused eBay and saw ONE item that is most likely authentic out of nearly 50 eBay listings. ONE! Simply put: THESE ITEMS ARE NOT REAL OR AUTHENTIC. If you buy them you are wasting your money. Collectors should focus on purchasing items with provenance directly from Marilyn’s estate, which has been sold through two auction companies: Christie’s and Julien’s (and no others). There are demonstrated and verifiable stories of Marilyn having given items to people close to her which have sold at auction. Those relationships are verifiable, proven and well documented, including her half-sister Berniece Miracle, her masseuse Ralph Roberts, and Joan Greenson. Be mindful, and use common sense. If authentic items sell for THOUSANDS of dollars at major auction companies, why would someone list something for mere HUNDREDS on eBay? If truly authentic, why wouldn’t the items be listed at reputable auction companies? Simple: Major auction companies won’t consign them because they are not real. #marilynmonroe
