Well... she wasn't always blonde.

Suppose I shoulda rephrased. whoops

wow,wow,wow...this Mo is even gorgeous....GL

Running out of new models???? It kind of kills your anonymity after a while but I can relate. it's hard not to use the same person when you have so many nice shot of them. The pose and lips are right, that's for sure. I guess acquiring a Marilyn wig was not feasible? GL all the same.

Yeah!!! Why didn't you go get yourself some Marilyn Monroe DNA and clone her!

The look is suppose to resemble the playboy pose. I have it hanging in my bathroom and she does not have her typical blond short hair. The hair used closely resembled hers in that image. Google it if you're curious.

Congratulation....

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats on your FIRST !! I knew it wouldn't be long.

congrats!

Thanks everyone, its nice to finally get a number one spot even if it was only between 10 entries

very her...

Nice work, but have been better in black and white.

While I agree that this would look great in black and white, I'd hate to lose those ruby red lips. To me, that is Marilyn's most iconic feature. Now if selective coloring were allowed...oh, the possibilities! Great shot.

And also congrats for your second place!

It's a gret resemblance.. but that's some guy dressed as Marilyn, isn't it?

She'd kill you if she saw that comment.

Lol....

I'm guessing that's a no........ oops.

I've never seen Marilyn in a tux before

Happy birthday Mr. President?

Congrats for your third place, Vibeke!

what a great way to start this contest!! you put a high standard to start with! GL

A beautiful young woman and a very nice shot... but, what does this have to do with Marilyn Monroe?

More Christie Brinkley than Marilyn Monroe. Sorry, this is an excellent shot but doesn't resemble Marilyn Monroe.

It's an attempt to do a take on the classic 50's Hollywood Starlett pose that Marilyn did for many movie promo's

Like so...

I just happen to prefer low-key

Okies...changed the image to hopefully something closer to what's expected

You know, I did say "look-a-likes" when I suggested this idea. I was thinking more along the lines as doppel gangers when I thought this up.

I know, I'm not a mod, but if they wanted my opinion, this still isn't exactly what I had in mind. But that's just IMO......

Ok....red flagged for removal....

Great shot!

Well the bottom half looks a bit like Marilyn the top half is just nice. lol

You didn't flag it for removal, did you? She still has the Marylin pose and you know other people have different opinions. It's still here so GL all the same.

Yeppers...I most certainly did red flag it....what the Mod of this contest chooses to do is up to them, sorry

Quite Frankly speaking....I really could care less if it stays or goes at this point....I I could remove my own entries I would.

Nice framing !!!

cool shot author...very effective...gl

I like it the curls are very close to actual
