I found this poster at Beaubourg, just above a restaurant and I really loved it right away. The "curtain" is actually a garland (probably a remain from Christmas?!). I thought that after yesterday's demonstrations and the sh... weather that we're experiencing at the moment, it was time for a little glamor. And when it comes to glamor we have our share in Paris, but Marylin is eternal ;-)
Nice picture. Greetings from Tilburg
ReplyDeleteEven less painted she was heart-stopping impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt says much about her impact that to the present day we can see famous people attempting to imitate Marilyn’s look, such as here.
I spotted this same Marilyn in Paris back in 2006. Glad she is still there!
ReplyDeleteI just turned off my music, checked PDP, and there was Marilyn. I should add that I was listening to the Kinks:
ReplyDelete"But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
Cuz she's not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel,
But she was only made of flesh and blood."
What timing. Great shot, Eric.
What a great place for Marilyn. She lives on..:)
ReplyDeleteBeauty I absolutely love all the bright colors in photo
ReplyDeleteyou certainly do have your share of glamor in Paris and it always seems even more glamorous than everywhere else!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Eric. Hard to believe Marilyn has been dead for almost 50 years. Do you suppose there will still be pictures like this one 50 years from now?
ReplyDelete@ Eric, for sure!
ReplyDeleteDetails are in the comment box with "Water games at La Defense"
Cheers!
Bravo Eric...finally a picture worth hanging on my wall.
ReplyDeleteAlexa...good question! I wonder if we will even have pictures in 50 years or maybe just "virtual memories"
My day was lacking a little glamour until now ~ thank you for restoring it, Eric! I love this.
ReplyDeleteNo one pouts quite like Marilyn, boop-boop-bee-doo!
ReplyDeleteTall Gary, Those legs!...and Marilyn's aren't bad either.
Re Carla, glam-chic.
Great ! It is sometimes difficult for me to know what is glamor. I mean glamor or sexy or sensual, that makes some subtleties.
ReplyDeleteNow, I have THE reference for glamor. Marilyn, obviously. But she was also sexy and sensual ... so ... ? Drummond is right about Marilyn's pout. Was that more sensual than glamor? I think it was? I love what Fran wrote too. Was that part very sexy in Marilyn? I think it was too.
I always feel so sorry for her. She was glamorous and beautiful, but never seemed happy. It is an interesting shot though. I wonder what it looks like a night when all the lights are on. Beautiful, I imagine!
ReplyDeleteIm from poland, i ve been in paris this year and i will go again very very soon, i rly love your blog, is clear, interesting and i love your picceh :)
ReplyDeleteAnd love Paris! Of course :)
Greetings!!!
I can still remember the day she died like it was yesterday. I was ten years old and my mother cut the picture off of the front page of the newspaper[which showed her body being removed from her house on a gurney]because she thought children shouldn't see something like that! Compared to what kids look at today that was nothing! She has entered the ranks of the immortals..huh?? As far as Carla goes, I think it was smart of Sarko to marry a beauty to distract the masses at times...Non?
ReplyDeleteWell said, Eric. Marilyn is eternal indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the garland from Christmas, feels like a curtain.
