I was moved to tears tonight by @joebiden & @kamalaharris. Feeling so hopeful. Tonight was about kindness and compassion. We can have differences but still be kind. 🇺🇸♥️
Currently in the process of trying to re-enable my Instagram account. It was disabled without me knowing. For those who follow me on Instagram, I’m very sorry.
Spring 1945 — #DavidConover was searching for women to photograph doing war work and stumbled onto an icon (#MarilynMonroe). In his journals he expresses that she captivated him, and that there was “a luminous quality in her face, a fragility combined with astonishing vibrancy.”
October 1952 — #MarilynMonroe models in an ad for lawn furniture. Though with her in the photo, you hardly notice the furniture. Photos by commercial photographer, #MischaPelz.
October 10, 1949 — #MarilynMonroe and eight other women appear in Life Magazine. Called “Eight Girls Try Out Mixed Emotions” and each acted out: drinking a delicious beverage, kissing a lover, facing a scary monster, and listening to a good joke. Photos by #PhilippeHalsman.

Today is the official day when the world lost an angel on earth. Marilyn was found dead in her bed on the night of August 4 due to an apparent accidental overdose.
She holds a special place in the hearts of those who continue to cherish, understand, and protect her. We love you, Marilyn. Rest peacefully.
