This painted stainless steel and aluminium, 34,000-pound, 26-foot statue of Marilyn Monroe was captured on Chicago's "Magnificent Mile" ... Although the sculpture has attracted innumerable visitors, the statue was panned by critics and locals alike, and named among the nation's top 10 pieces of bad public art .. In 2012 the statue was moved from Chicago, IL to Palm Springs, California for 3 years, then moved to New Jersey for 2 years. In 2016, Marilyn made a trip to Australia for a year, the returned to the US where she was displayed in Connecticut. As of 2023, I hear Marilyn has returned to Palm Springs, CA, where it continues to be a popular destination and a great photo opportunity.
"I never wanted to be Marilyn--it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane." - Marilyn Monroe.

No Invites Please.
First try at reproducing the Photo of James Dean & Marilyn Monroe, (this one without the Bike.)
While trying to install a ceiling fan, we discovered this old homemade Marilyn Monroe clock in the attic space.
Turns out the photos is from her last 1962 Bruce Sterling photo sessions for Vogue magazine.
Were it that this were a real picture, easily extricated from the prison of time, I might sell it for 1000s of dollars.
But what an unexpected discovery, regardless.

That's her, a character that had become 'greater than life' in her ascending from 'rags to riches', that I intended to reveal to my granddaughter.
But then I changed my mind...
P.S. NYT's article briefly highlighting Monroe's period of life when she was at the very beginning of 'drone building's career.'
