JSngry Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Through one of those goofy Google quirks, I came across this site: http://stellargraffiti.com/My%20Pictures/ Believe it or not, I've never been all that taken by Monroe's "sexiness". Too blatantly manipulative for me, and too contrived in its presentation. But there are pictures here that are simply breathtaking in the natural beauty of hers that is revealed. There's plenty of cheesey (and cheesecakey) stuff here, but some of these pictures... Of course, the tragedy of her life has been discussed to death, but I've never really gotten all the talk about her "vulnerabilty". I was 6 when she died, so most of what I came to know about her came after the fact. She always seemed to me like a person who made a deal with the devil (figuratively) and paid the bill when it came due, simple as that. But in many of these photographs, that vulnerability comes through loud and clear, and it is actually quite touching. Or else that was an act for the camera as well. Who knows? Anyway, again, this is NOT an invitation, veiled or otherwise, to start a new "Babe Thread". It's just a link to a very comprehensive collection of photographs of a "legend". Don't make B-3er have to stop this car and come back there! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 I found that thread by accident a few months ago. I haven't had a lot of time to explore it but what a treasure trove! Someone really does collect these in a way that some of us collect jazz! Quote
JSngry Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) Yeah, like if you really love something, you love all of it, even the stuff that ain't necessarily gonna be so hot to somebody who doesn't. Not that I can relate to that sentiment, mind you... Edited March 6, 2005 by JSngry Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) I couldn't make it past the first dozen pics. She just doesn't turn me on in any way. I guess I prefer brunettes! I just see her as an above average-looking woman with a good set of jugs! (well, the pics do seem to highlight that aspect. ) She's a babe, but not my type.

Rooster_Ties Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Probably better to provide "clicky-linkies", as opposed to hot-linking actual pictures. That got us in hot water once, if you'll remember. Just something to consider. -- Rooster T. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Scroll up from Rooster's post to Lon's and these hairy legs appear! Quote
Brad Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Amen, to her being beautiful. Such a beautiful face. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 RT: That was why I posted THAT picture! Yes she was quite a beauty. When I was younger she wasn't my "type." Funny how your type can "broaden" as you age to encompass lots of "types!" Quote
