“Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius.
and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous
than absolutely boring.”
-Marilyn Monroe
{June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962}
Like many little girls and even women, I have always felt a kinship with Marilyn Monroe . . . mostly because we were born on the same day …and a little just because she is absolutely stunning.
…and although I feel ridiculously insane most of the time, I completely adore being a Gemini.
I am 33 today …Marilyn would have been 83 …how crazy is that?

I have been obsessed with Marilyn Monroe since I was a kid. Great pictures. I just say a play about her life a month or two ago:
http://sendingpostcards.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/even-more-marilyn/ I read something the other day saying that no one cares about Elizabeth Taylor because she’s old, and we saw her age… implying the only reason anyone still cares about Marilyn is because she died… isn’t that so sad?! Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Wow, that’s insane. The good thing about dying young (trying to look on the bright side here) is that the world doesn’t have to watch your looks deteriorate. Marilyn died like she lived–as a perfect beauty. What a cool person to share a birthday with!

Happy Birthday Maegan,
I was traveling yesterday and just read your post today. I think we all love and relate to Marilyn because she is so beautiful; yet, we can sense her haunting human loneliness. It is such a juxtaposition when we see it in someone like her and realize that none of us are immune to the human condition. Thanks for your brave and insightful postings. Hope your Birthday and the rest of the year is fantastic!
Love,
Henri
