    1. What I love about these is that a woman took them. You hear all the time Marilyn pictures are sexy because men took them. Eve was asked about this and she said marilyn didn’t care, she loved the camera.

    2. Discovered this photo shoot in 1990 in a Canadian magazine while on my way to Europe. Got obsessed with that ‘put down the camera and come join me’ look she had on her face.

      I liked the photos that Arnold took on The Misfits set, Monroe playing around loose in jeans, she was in her element. But quite honestly, I hate the studio session they did later. Marilyn was at her lowest ebb, divorced from Miller, Gable gone, after a tumultuous, exhausting, unhappy shoot, still carrying weight that came from prescription drugs new doctors would ease her away from. She was still game, but really needed to recuperate, which is exactly what she did the rest of 1961, more or less. Arnold famously said Marilyn photographed ten pounds less than what she was, perhaps homing the learning she got as a model in her salad days.

      The was a Blondie poster that looked just like that. Debbie Harry must have been imitating Marilyn.

    5. Can this sub please expand to photos of anything else besides hot women? There are so many corners of the internet to see hot women, I want to see old school shit that’s cool here
