I can't get over...




How stunningly beautiful Marilyn Monroe is. I'm tired of all the cliche, art.com poster wall art dorm shit pictures. I'm talking about the last photos ever taken of her, taken by Bert Stern. They could be the only wall art in my house and I would be happy. There's something about sixties photography that can never be recreated. I'm sure there's a technological reason for this, but it's just richer and older and sexier and raw-er. Is rawer a word? No it's not. Today's photography is just really sleek and modern and air-brushed and robotic.



Looking at these photographs is like taking a hot bath, drinking pink champagne, and rubbing expensive shea butter all over your body.
