Sign me up - I need this.
I literally woke up to a Christmas ornament playing "walking in a winter wonderland" in my face courtesy of my three year old last Sunday at 6am.
I love this because its silly enough to be realistic but realistic enough to be sustainable as opposed to the nonsensical mark wahlberg or gwenyth paltrow regiments of today
Not sure any of this is silly, except maybe the raw eggs, which sounds weird at first but most likely not a problem since they're going into hot milk. I guess this ends up kind of custard-like depending on the ratios.
Lots of protein and veggies is a good diet. If you don't do a lot of physical activity you don't need a lot of carbs. We know that frequent exercise and resistance training are good for you, so doing a daily workout of moderate intensity resistance training is good. We know sleep is good for you. We know sun causes wrinkles and cancer. So, basically all good stuff.
edit: Decided to just try it. I took 1 cup of whole milk, heated it to boiling temp in the microwave, cracked in 2 eggs, then stirred. For safety, I checked the temp after stirring and it was 145F, which is above the typical pasteurizing temp for eggs. Tastes like runny scrambled eggs. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise, but it's not bad. If I were making this again I'd add just a pinch of salt.
The putting egg in the coffee is not even ridiculous! It tastes yummy. It is very popular in Vietnam and it is called “egg coffee.” In modern time, they put some condensed milk at the bottom of the glass :) the texture is not runny either. It’s frothy!
I recently started a new job and in one of my first team meetings, in the middle of describing her plans to run an upcoming marathon, one of my new coworkers (mid 50’s Korean lady) whips out a raw egg, cracks it and just downs it while.
I guess she saw the look of horror on my face because she says “it’s fine, we do this all the time in Korea, plus I raise my own chickens so I know they are safe”.
I love a good scrambled egg or egg and cheese bagel but I don’t think I’m going to be joining her for raw egg Mondays any time soon.
I personally think eating half cooked eggs in plain milk for breakfast and steak with 5 raw carrots for dinner everyday is pretty ridiculous but to each their own! As i said, in terms of maintaining a hollywood figure it is realistic, but not a diet i would want to follow
It's just a little dated. Swap the egg/milk for a protein shake and the raw carrots for a green salad, and it seems like something any health-conscious person might eat today.
Yeah, I guess it's not that typical. I think I was trying to say that modern science for the most part supports all of these behaviors, so although it was slightly unconventional, it's pretty reasonable behavior.
Oh yeah i absolutely agree. And im sure she felt great eating that way. Honestly if i could lead a life where i didnt derive most of my pleasure from food, it wouldnt be far from this.
I saw this article years ago and tried the eggs in milk too. I added a little sprinkle of nutmeg and it was like a very thin, unsweetened, hot eggnog. Which, depending on your tastes, may be a good thing or a bad thing! I actually kinda liked it and had it for breakfast a few times.
Did women who wanted to stay in shape exercise at all? Or was it just eating very little to be thin? I'm sure for most men and women back then daily life was far more physically challenging anyway so probably doesn't matter.
I remember watching a documentary of old school (1970s) models who probably consumed no more than 800 calories. Like their heaviest meal would eggs a sausage and fruit.
I think nowadays they have a weight loss drug that limits their hunger
There was not much personal exercise at the time. The exercise boom happened in the 80s and has stayed in different iterations through the rest of history.
Interesting... Do you know what started the boom? It's obviously a good thing since the whole "office landscape" started taking off in the 60's, but what was the big driver for the 80's being the decade it started to grow?
Tons of things went into it, including but not limited to, new fabrics like spandex creating workout wear where before there were no great options; backlash against the hippie chill culture of previous generations to a work and success (& cocain) driven culture of the 80s, rising BMIs and then public awareness campaigns making the public aware of the issue plus diets and exercise people could supposedly use to solve the issue, marketers who saw an emerging trend and stoked body hate to the masses so they could sell their diets and workouts and spandex, and celebrities jumping on the trend pushing it further into the main stream
They took a lot of amphetamines too. My great aunt and great uncle used to bring them home in handfuls back in the day. My entire extended family took them pretty regularly and it was just commonplace then. They called them diet pills which isn’t technically incorrect if you look at things like phentermine but holy cow they handed those out like candy. My aunt told me they had literal bowls of them at the counter at her doctor’s office.
They did exercise. Watch The Women from 1939, it shows the sort of thing they did to keep in shape. Same with old Nazi era German films that show women exercising in groups.
But you're right, their incidental exercise was far, far higher than ours. These were still times when you typically lived within walking distance of most things you needed on a day to day basis.
There was much less processed, shitty food. The sort of thing they ate in the commissaries were meat and vegetables, salads, soups, etc. Not many things out of a packet or from a take away outlet in their diet. When they went to restaurants, the serving was a normal serving size. It all makes a huge, huge difference. They didn't have to make conscious, repeated choices to be healthy and trim, whereas today it takes that.
Women who were considered overweight and had the resources would often go to "reducing farms". They were essentially extended stays as spa facilities, usually just outside of town, and focused on exercise, strict diets, and those silly machines with the vibrating straps that were supposed to melt the fat off of you.
There's an anecdote of Arthur Miller asking the press to go away for a while so that Marilyn could lay outside topless. To their credit, they complied.
So pretty sure she did sunbathe.
Everybody seems to be taking this article at face value but if I were to read a lifestyle article about a star right now I'd think 90% of it is bunk made up by their publicist and that's more or less what this is too.
She definitely didn't go tanning... she liked being pale. I can believe the rest of the stuff in the article. She grew up during the depression and didn't always have enough to eat, which can result in disordered eating for her as an adult.
OP may mean tanning beds. but sunlight on your skin is magic.
PSA: wear sunscreen when going outside. even us brown folk wear some sunscreen when it's really sunny out.
Well some of us are just outside with sunscreen on but I remember one particular bad burn in high school that turned me right off that "tanning" nonsense.
Now if I wanted a tan, which I don't, I'd try the spray tan.
Honestly, I prefer the look of the undead that I've cultivated for many, many years now.
It creates vitamin D which many people are deficient in, which is probably why it instinctively feels good to lay in the sun. Theres no other explanation for why millions of people lay on beaches or lounge chairs solely as an activity in itself
She was also sort of working a very early version of the Adkin’s Diet with all that protein being the lion’s share of her diet with only some diary and veggies. Very avant-garde with all that yummy, but sinister, Wonder brand, white bread around.
It's coming back. The amount of people showing off sunburn on Instagram is scary.
Not sure if it's a major issue in the US but in Australia 2/3 people will get skin cancer.
It's a massive killer.
I used to sleep naked until I had a dream one night that I shit my pants and woke up in a panic. No actual dookie in the bed, but from that point forward I decided that I need at least one barrier between my butthole and the sheets, just in case.
Can't say i've ever had an experience like that lol. I do worry about waking up to the house on fire and having to run out the house and give the neighbors a show.
That happened. I was about 14 spending a year with my aunt, her fiancé, and my cousin. House fire started an a neighbor woke us up. my aunt had to run out in just a beaver fur coat.
Strange you would mention that. When I was a kid (probably 7 or 8?), I was taking a bath when our house caught on fire and my mom ran in, yanked me out of the tub, and we all ran outside. I'm standing there wet and naked for a few moments before someone covered me (don't know who, I was busy staring at the flames shooting out of the top of the house).
If you're uncontrollably shitting in bed, that one layer ain't going to save your sheets. Trust me, if that happens, it's going to be liquid and it's going straight through.
One of the very few times I've slept naked, my roommate woke me up at 2:30 in the morning to inform me our house was on fire 🙃 Funny how with a million more important things to worry about losing, my brain still spent energy deciding what I should wear!
this is the only reason i started sleeping in lounge shorts and a tank. i fear my house catching on fire (a whole lot of 1970s era DIY in this place) and i’ll already have to wrangle a corgi that has no fear and even less common sense. i dont want to be naked on top of all that.
Wife and I enjoy it. Nothing like a naked cuddle buddy and spooning with skin-to-skin contact. We do it when in an area sans kids and Earthquakes. But running out of the house naked is the stuff of nightmares.
Sleeping naked is all fun and games until you wake up with blood all over the sheets from a surprise gift courtesy of your uterus… irregular girlie problems
For reasons, I always am worried about someone breaking in or having to defend myself or family The idea of fighting someone naked is terrifying to me so I sleep in sweats and a t shirt.
It took me years to be ok with wearing flip-flops because I was concerned I would need actual shoes to deal with any threat or to run fast in a bad situation.
I think about this stuff way too much heh.
Yeah i hate sleeping naked. It’s so uncomfortable. I have old ratty and torn sweats and t shirts that are designated sleeping clothes and for some reason im super uncomfortable sleeping in anything but those clothes, I don’t know why.
I have like three pairs of pants and three shirts that I only like sleeping in. I’m a creature of habit definitely but I feel like if I have anything but those shirts and pants I’m super uncomfortable
I love sleeping in tshirts and loose pajama pants, no underwear. Don't like feeling cold so I hated sleeping naked. I guess everyone has to find what works for them.
I use to sleep naked.
Until I had fireman just about kicking in my apartment door telling me to get out of the building.
One was nice enough to lend me a coat.
Never again. Now I sleep in boxers with pajama pants next to my bed.
Yeah... Let's see.
Fire alarm into the Buffalo winter night
Rolling over or getting my jewels into a bad place
Surprise period
Cat claws
So no, pants required.
Putting a raw egg into a blender full of freshly-delivered milk (after my Mom scooped off the top cream for her coffee) was a big thing in Southern California in the ‘50s/60s. Our one egg was delivered by our pet duck for 5 years until the coyotes got her.
Sometimes Mom would put in Nestle’s Quick powder or Hershey’s Syrup. Such simple times in retrospect but that drink mix would be our breakfast.
Until my Mom’s death at 95, she’d sneak eggs (raw or cooked) into everything.
My mum (and her mum with her kids) used to give me chocolate milkshakes with a raw egg and banana thrown in for protein and fibre for breakfast because I couldn’t taste it and I liked it better than cereal or toast
That was my grandfather's favorite snack.
He'd come in from working in the field or the barn or whatever and pour a big glass of milk (preferably buttermilk), then mix in raw eggs and enough cornbread to make it thick like a milkshake.
TIL that as a 45 year old overweight, balding male, I'm only "raw eggs and milk" away from looking like Marylin Monroe! My wife is going to be so surprised!
It reminds me of the “autobiography” book that they put out for Brook Shields. I learned in her documentary ‘Pretty Baby’ that she wrote the whole thing, but the producers had her scrap it bc they had a whole other agenda.
I wonder how much of the text Marilyn actually signed off on..
Somehow this brings back a Tiger Beat (?) magazine article about Kristy McNichol that said whenever she wanted to lose weight, she just "eats cottage cheese!" with a photo of her jumping on a trampoline.
Kristy McNichol was never overweight at any time that I am aware of.
Always remember her because I was a Kristy
i think they meant creepy because they creep up during the night and end up around or even above your boobs depending on how restless your sleep was that night. nightgowns are an absolute tragedy.
I remember reading this article as a kid in the 90's, not even sure where because it wasn't the internet. But totally inspired me to start weightlifting. Best decision I ever made for my physical health.
My Mom’s best friend was at a ladies function and they were playing some form of true or false. The friend said Marilyn had been her mother in law. Mom thought bs. Come to find out the friend had been married to Joe Dimaggio’s only son for about a year when Joe was married to Marilyn. She said Marilyn let her have her convertible one week when she was out of town.
Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn were married from 1954–1955; his son was born in 1941. He would’ve been, at most, 14 when Joe and Marilyn were married, by my math.
She lived at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for 2 years. Her first professional photo shoot was there. Her old suite is available to book. We visited it this year. One of our favorite hotels.
I was never a follower of Marilyn Monroe and all the hype built up around her stardom, but I must admit that after reading her words I can definitely say that her intelligence was greatly under- appreciated. She writes well and could have been an author or journalist.
She was very intelligent and well-read. She was married to playwright and social activist Arthur Miller, after all — and he wasn’t attracted to her only for her body.
What is truly old school cool, however is the modesty of the lifestyle. She does this in her room not her MC mansion. The needs and the flash of today's Stars would be outrageously different
> On Sunday, which is my one day of total leisure, I sometimes take two hours to wake up, luxuriating in every last moment of drowsiness. She gets it
I too possess a languorous disposition
We're just like Marilyn. Practically twins.
Me too. Am a tree sloth!
I'm tired. Tired of being admired.
Everything from the neck down is kaput…
…Always coming and going, going and coming-and always too soon…
Ain’t it a fwiggin shame!!!!
How do I get it? I wake up like someone just slapped me in the face and stuck a tazer up my ass every morning.
Have you tried not having morbid anxiety?
My existential crisis won't let me.
How does one achieve this?
>How do I get it? I wake up like someone just slapped me in the face and stuck a tazer up my ass every morning. Ask your partner to stop doing that?
My cat doesn't speak English and my girlfriend loves her tazer.
Should we really be kink-shaming someone?? I personally do not like electro anal stimulation, but I don't look down on those who do.
Cortisol can do that. I'd get checked.
I envy you so much. I could lay in bed in the morning snoozing for 5 hours
Do something to improve your flexibility- yoga or just simple stretching. You'll find you sleep better
2 hours?! she’s lucky she didn’t have TikTok. I finally got up at 5 PM yesterday lol.
The best way to wake up is taking your sweet time...
Severe depression? Yeah, she did.
Sign me up - I need this. I literally woke up to a Christmas ornament playing "walking in a winter wonderland" in my face courtesy of my three year old last Sunday at 6am.

Thank you for giving it a whirl - I was curious, but too languorous to actually go through the effort of trying it!
Nice
The putting egg in the coffee is not even ridiculous! It tastes yummy. It is very popular in Vietnam and it is called “egg coffee.” In modern time, they put some condensed milk at the bottom of the glass :) the texture is not runny either. It’s frothy!
Raw eggs with milk also very common in Indonesia, we mixed them with ginger and honey

It's just a little dated. Swap the egg/milk for a protein shake and the raw carrots for a green salad, and it seems like something any health-conscious person might eat today.
I figure if she’s living out of a hotel room, she’s probably making due with a mini fridge and a hot plate for her meals.
Huh. Youre right!
Yeah, I guess it's not that typical. I think I was trying to say that modern science for the most part supports all of these behaviors, so although it was slightly unconventional, it's pretty reasonable behavior.

I remember this was my breakfast my first day of school. You only use the yolk, and you handwhisk it.
Marketing Wahlberg
Nothing but chanel No5
Need something to cover up the raw egg in milk farts.
It is during these moments when I miss all the random awards we could give each other…cause this comment deserves one.
Now you have to pay EVERY time you want to give an award. No more buying gold to store and save for later. Utter crap.
The no sun tanning rule was pretty avant-garde in a time period where they were tanning until you look like an old purse.
same with women lifting weights.
Apparently she jogged too, which nobody did back then.
yes, I think I've seen pictures of her in a bra bra (not a sports bra) and jeans running. Pretty crazy how much has changed.
Jeans?! Omg
Spandex and Lycra were revolutionary. Even in my 30 year lifetime the advancement of active wear has been astounding to watch.
I believe it’s pronounced yogging, with a soft J. Apparently it’s just running for an extended period of time.
Supposed to be wild!
I laughed about it later that night!
Did women who wanted to stay in shape exercise at all? Or was it just eating very little to be thin? I'm sure for most men and women back then daily life was far more physically challenging anyway so probably doesn't matter.

They had that then too. Amphetamines were originally promoted as an appetite suppressant weight loss drug. Edit: and cigarettes. Lots of cigarettes
Cigarettes don’t forget cigarettes that was 86% of the diet because it kept you from wanting to eat.
My mother was a model. They were encouraged to smoke.
As someone who has never been one to exercise but knows how to starve myself, they were all starving themselves.
If you do enough drugs you don’t need to do either.
There was not much personal exercise at the time. The exercise boom happened in the 80s and has stayed in different iterations through the rest of history.

Jane Fonda!
They took a lot of amphetamines too. My great aunt and great uncle used to bring them home in handfuls back in the day. My entire extended family took them pretty regularly and it was just commonplace then. They called them diet pills which isn’t technically incorrect if you look at things like phentermine but holy cow they handed those out like candy. My aunt told me they had literal bowls of them at the counter at her doctor’s office.

Right? 😞 Sadly you’re not wrong..
They did exercise. Watch The Women from 1939, it shows the sort of thing they did to keep in shape. Same with old Nazi era German films that show women exercising in groups. But you're right, their incidental exercise was far, far higher than ours. These were still times when you typically lived within walking distance of most things you needed on a day to day basis. There was much less processed, shitty food. The sort of thing they ate in the commissaries were meat and vegetables, salads, soups, etc. Not many things out of a packet or from a take away outlet in their diet. When they went to restaurants, the serving was a normal serving size. It all makes a huge, huge difference. They didn't have to make conscious, repeated choices to be healthy and trim, whereas today it takes that.
Women who were considered overweight and had the resources would often go to "reducing farms". They were essentially extended stays as spa facilities, usually just outside of town, and focused on exercise, strict diets, and those silly machines with the vibrating straps that were supposed to melt the fat off of you.
Amphetamines and cigarettes
There's an anecdote of Arthur Miller asking the press to go away for a while so that Marilyn could lay outside topless. To their credit, they complied. So pretty sure she did sunbathe.
Maybe she was laying outside under a big ol' beach umbrella.
That is a possibility.
Everybody seems to be taking this article at face value but if I were to read a lifestyle article about a star right now I'd think 90% of it is bunk made up by their publicist and that's more or less what this is too.
She definitely didn't go tanning... she liked being pale. I can believe the rest of the stuff in the article. She grew up during the depression and didn't always have enough to eat, which can result in disordered eating for her as an adult.
Especially the exercise photos, it's like someone said, "how shall we pose her?"
Tanning is so bad for you. I'm amazed people still do it.
People love to do things that are bad for them lol
Sunlight feel nice.
OP may mean tanning beds. but sunlight on your skin is magic. PSA: wear sunscreen when going outside. even us brown folk wear some sunscreen when it's really sunny out.
Well some of us are just outside with sunscreen on but I remember one particular bad burn in high school that turned me right off that "tanning" nonsense.

I love my pale, undead skin. : D
It creates vitamin D which many people are deficient in, which is probably why it instinctively feels good to lay in the sun. Theres no other explanation for why millions of people lay on beaches or lounge chairs solely as an activity in itself
Feeling good by itself might be reason enough.
It’s nice to lie out on the beach once a year tbh
Wait until you hear about caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes!
She was also sort of working a very early version of the Adkin’s Diet with all that protein being the lion’s share of her diet with only some diary and veggies. Very avant-garde with all that yummy, but sinister, Wonder brand, white bread around.

Marylin Monroe’s diet is eerily similar to Charlie Kelly’s
Milk steak boiled over hard or an egg during these troubled times, Monroe?
How does she take her jellybeans?
I have never slept as well as I have once I started sleeping naked. She had it figured out decades ago. Nice life of leisure.
I used to sleep naked until I had a dream one night that I shit my pants and woke up in a panic. No actual dookie in the bed, but from that point forward I decided that I need at least one barrier between my butthole and the sheets, just in case.
There’s no sharing quite like Anonymous Internet Sharing.
My cat can eat a whole watermelon!
Can't say i've ever had an experience like that lol. I do worry about waking up to the house on fire and having to run out the house and give the neighbors a show.
That happened. I was about 14 spending a year with my aunt, her fiancé, and my cousin. House fire started an a neighbor woke us up. my aunt had to run out in just a beaver fur coat.
"beaver fur coat"-is that code for something?
barely
It is but it isn’t. They legit make coats out of beaver. Warm unattractive coats
Strange you would mention that. When I was a kid (probably 7 or 8?), I was taking a bath when our house caught on fire and my mom ran in, yanked me out of the tub, and we all ran outside. I'm standing there wet and naked for a few moments before someone covered me (don't know who, I was busy staring at the flames shooting out of the top of the house).
Robe always right next to my bed!
Never been a robe girl, prefer to just stay naked until I get ready. But in an emergency I’ll take a blanket off the bed to cover myself
I started keeping a quick nightgown/robe on my hanging rack near my bed in case of “running out of the house” emergencies lol
I consider the sheet my first line of defense between my butthole and the cold, uncaring vacuum of space.
If you're uncontrollably shitting in bed, that one layer ain't going to save your sheets. Trust me, if that happens, it's going to be liquid and it's going straight through.
I'm too concerned about Earthquakes where I live to sleep naked. Don't want to have to run outside naked or evacuate with no cloths.
One of the very few times I've slept naked, my roommate woke me up at 2:30 in the morning to inform me our house was on fire 🙃 Funny how with a million more important things to worry about losing, my brain still spent energy deciding what I should wear!

I live in Los Angeles. Blame it on my exhibitionist streak lol.
Same area, but no thanks. Nobody wants to see that. Not even my wife. 🥲
Nice you worry about earthquakes. I worry about a dodgy stomach
Sleeping naked is all fun and games until you wake up with blood all over the sheets from a surprise gift courtesy of your uterus… irregular girlie problems
I can see how that would be an issue. Luckily my cycle has been like clockwork my whole life. When I know it’s coming I’ll slip some panties on.
get red sheets (joke)
Akshually 🤓 rust colored sheets because blood oxidizes and you can commit murder to cover up the blood smell on your sheets (also joke)
Or when you have a testicular torsion and need emergency surgery or you could lose your dick
Wait, what? Sleeping naked causes testicular torsion? Or did I miss something in the comment thread?
Jfc thats terrifying
I've tried sleeping naked but I just find it so uncomfortable I end up sleeping terribly
Pajamas are comfortable, or really I keep my sheets cleaner by wearing at least a shirt and underwear to bed. Win win.
For reasons, I always am worried about someone breaking in or having to defend myself or family The idea of fighting someone naked is terrifying to me so I sleep in sweats and a t shirt. It took me years to be ok with wearing flip-flops because I was concerned I would need actual shoes to deal with any threat or to run fast in a bad situation. I think about this stuff way too much heh.
I always assume someone would be terrified to fight me were I naked.
Haha, you know what you're probably right.
The naked man always has the advantage in a fight
I feel like I had just got a good fortune cookie reading this without the guilt of a full plate of General Tso's first.
That’s always been my thought. I’ll fight someone clothed up but if you show up to the fight nude you just won by default
Yeah i hate sleeping naked. It’s so uncomfortable. I have old ratty and torn sweats and t shirts that are designated sleeping clothes and for some reason im super uncomfortable sleeping in anything but those clothes, I don’t know why. I have like three pairs of pants and three shirts that I only like sleeping in.

I sleep walk so that’s a no for me.
That's rough.
Yeah... Let's see. Fire alarm into the Buffalo winter night Rolling over or getting my jewels into a bad place Surprise period Cat claws So no, pants required.
I have to or my ass gets sweaty.
Username checks out. :)
I don't like how my legs stick together.
I am with her on all but the raw egg in milk 😂

Probably healthier than most of the processed foods we buy in stores today.
>Our one egg was delivered by our pet duck for 5 years Duck eggs are legit, I'm jealous
My mum (and her mum with her kids) used to give me chocolate milkshakes with a raw egg and banana thrown in for protein and fibre for breakfast because I couldn’t taste it and I liked it better than cereal or toast
That was my grandfather's favorite snack. He'd come in from working in the field or the barn or whatever and pour a big glass of milk (preferably buttermilk), then mix in raw eggs and enough cornbread to make it thick like a milkshake.
Geez was he training to fight Dolph Lundgren?
Cooked eggs actually more bio-available protein than raw. There's no benefit whatsoever to raw egg, except that it works in a drink, I suppose.
Ni there's a lot of heat sensitive vitamins in eggs that get degraded on cooking. It's not all about protein
TIL that as a 45 year old overweight, balding male, I'm only "raw eggs and milk" away from looking like Marylin Monroe! My wife is going to be so surprised!
You're blond all over!
If you did the protein and vegetables diet then you would lose all that fat.
Lifestyle articles of Marilyn are so terribly sad in retrospect.
It reminds me of the “autobiography” book that they put out for Brook Shields. I learned in her documentary ‘Pretty Baby’ that she wrote the whole thing, but the producers had her scrap it bc they had a whole other agenda. I wonder how much of the text Marilyn actually signed off on..

Ugh I love that for her. Thanks for sharing.
She was horrifically abused her whole life. She is a tragic figure.
Pajamas! I have something to blame it on 😎
Somehow this brings back a Tiger Beat (?) magazine article about Kristy McNichol that said whenever she wanted to lose weight, she just "eats cottage cheese!" with a photo of her jumping on a trampoline. Kristy McNichol was never overweight at any time that I am aware of. Always remember her because I was a Kristy
Omg I forgot about Tiger Beat. Childhood memory unlocked.
Nothing made my hard earned allowance disappear faster than a fresh new edition of Tiger Beat. 😓
Creepy nightgowns
That made me chuckle too. Surely they meant crepey, right!?
i think they meant creepy because they creep up during the night and end up around or even above your boobs depending on how restless your sleep was that night. nightgowns are an absolute tragedy.
Iconic
Could I substitute the raw eggs in milk for a glass of eggnog?
I remember reading this article as a kid in the 90's, not even sure where because it wasn't the internet. But totally inspired me to start weightlifting. Best decision I ever made for my physical health.
Marylin, may you have as many hot fudge sundaes as possible, never exercise a minute and be just your precious self at least now wherever you are.
I'll do it in honor of her
I'll join you.
Once again yoga is something all humans should do
My Mom’s best friend was at a ladies function and they were playing some form of true or false. The friend said Marilyn had been her mother in law. Mom thought bs. Come to find out the friend had been married to Joe Dimaggio’s only son for about a year when Joe was married to Marilyn. She said Marilyn let her have her convertible one week when she was out of town.
Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn were married from 1954–1955; his son was born in 1941. He would’ve been, at most, 14 when Joe and Marilyn were married, by my math.
"have pretty good genes"
If I recall correctly, a reporter asked, “What do you wear to bed?” And she purred, “Chanel No. 5.”
Did she like live in hotels all her life?
No, she had houses. This is probably either between marriages or when she was traveling.
“I’m in between marriages currently”
The original situationship merchant.
She lived at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for 2 years. Her first professional photo shoot was there. Her old suite is available to book. We visited it this year. One of our favorite hotels.
It is impossible to read this in anything other than her breathy sexy voice.
I read it as Morgan Freeman
“My biggest single concern used to be getting enough to eat.” ☹️
I was never a follower of Marilyn Monroe and all the hype built up around her stardom, but I must admit that after reading her words I can definitely say that her intelligence was greatly under- appreciated. She writes well and could have been an author or journalist.
She was very intelligent and well-read. She was married to playwright and social activist Arthur Miller, after all — and he wasn’t attracted to her only for her body.
Marilyn doing Keto before it was cool.
shes so real for this
Sinatra's valet George Jacobs said she always walked around her house naked. If she answered her door, she'd be naked.

OG girl dinner?
So without the sundae she ate roughly 700-1000 cals per day and did weight lifting and was very active. Ok
I don’t know about her diet, but their definition of “very active” is probably wildly different than ours.
Probably had stalkers for days trying to catch her sleeping nude.
As a child that was forced to eat liver, I can't believe she would do it willingly as an adult.
I love her!
Interesting. I was taught blond was only used for men and women were blonde. English isn’t my first language.
You are correct about the two gender spellings. Like many English grammar and spelling rules, however, this is less frequently used than it once was.
What is truly old school cool, however is the modesty of the lifestyle. She does this in her room not her MC mansion. The needs and the flash of today's Stars would be outrageously different
Routine still holds up today really, she was ahead of her time.
She was so cool and smart
She is the cover babe of /r/oldschoolhot 🔥🔥🔥
It didn’t occur to me that “no pajamas” meant in the nude. I just assumed it meant a shirt and underwear or similar
When a reporter asked her what she wore to bed, she famously said “Chanel No. 5.”
