Marilyn Monroe Quote
' I
have too many fantasies to be a housewife...I guess I am a fantasy '

| Marilyn Monroe |
A star with an
appealing combination of sexual power and vulnerability, 'Blonde
Bombshell' Marilyn Monroe combined a glamourous Hollywood persona
with a troubled personal life.
The particular poignancy of her short
life has ensured her personal possessions have an enduring popularity
at auction.
Monroe
memorabilia doesn't come cheap, as the recent auction at Christie's,
New York, revealed.
This was a high-profile sale of 1,500 personal
belongings, sold by Anna Strasberg, the widow of Marilyn's drama
teacher Lee Strasberg. Such a large-scale auction of the personal
effects of a single star is rare, and this event was accompanied by
high security and media hysteria.

Interestingly, such is Monroe's
status as an international icon, that even the catalogues from the
sale were becoming collectibles in their own right.
An initial print
run of 30,000 soon sold out, even at £50 a copy, and the sales of
the catalogue from the first print run alone exceeded £1 million.
A
relatively affordable way to start collecting Monroe memorabilia is
with her autograph.
However, autographs are still expensive - the
tragic death of a star adds significantly to the value of an
autograph, and Marilyn tops the list in this category.
Values
generally range from between £1,000-2,000, depending on the quality
of the autographed item.
Less
affordable souvenirs are Marilyn's possessions.
A wide range of
personal effects were on sale at the Christie's auction.

Even with one of its 35
diamonds missing, it eventually sold for an incredible $772,500
(£468,000).
Other
items on offer ranged from the domestic, to the ultimate in glamour,
and included books, saucepans and clothes.
Her first edition copy of
Jack Kerouac's classic novel,
On The Road
had a pre-sale estimate of $1,000- $2,000 and sold for $12,000, while
her Le Creuset saucepans made $22,000 (estimated value $600-800).

Monroe's
clothes do come up at auction occasionally.
At Bonhams, Knights bridge,
a monkey fur jacket belonging to the star recently sold for £1,610.
However, it is her identifiable,'special
occasion' outfits which attract most interest.
The dress she wore for
her show-stopping performance of 'Happy Birthday Mr President' was
the focus of intense publicity.
The dress was specially designed for
the occasion by Jean Louis, a Hollywood costumier, and perfectly
captures Monroe's attitude towards her clothes:
'I like to be really
dressed up or really undressed. I don't bother with anything in
between.'

Not surprisingly, it aroused great
interest from collectors all over the world and the dress, which back
then cost $12,000, sold for the world record breaking sum of
$1,267,500 (£758,000).
The new owners of the most expensive dress in
the world, Peter Siegel and Robert Schagain of'Gotta Have It', a
memorabilia store in Manhattan, were reported to be delighted with
their 'bargain' purchase.
Another
collecting option is ephemera such as scripts and personal letters.
In
Some like it Hot, with
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, Marilyn oozed charisma.
Her script for
the film where she proved her capability for comedy for the first
time was on offer for $6,000-8,000 and sold for $45,000.

Marilyn's
most personal possessions were disposed of at highly inflated prices
in New York to hundreds of eager collectors who wanted a little piece
of her life to treasure at home.
There is no doubt that Monroe
memorabilia will be a regular feature of celebrity auctions of the
future as the glamour and sadness of her life intrigue collectors
into the 21st century.

All indications are that Rapid Slim should help you lose weight and keep it off. If we have any reservations about the product, it lies in the fact that they do not fully disclose their ingredient mix but instead hide behind the "proprietary mix" label. If you're like us, that isn't going to float your boat and you may want to go with a proven, fully transparent keto friendly weight loss supplement like Perfect Keto instead.
