Its my weekend off and I was planning on going upto see my folks this weekend. Due to petrol costs I have had to postpone, the other half is in work all day so I am chilling with a bunch of Marilyn Monroe films.
Currently Film 4 is showing one of favourite Marilyn films, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I love the characters that both Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Russell play plus the music score is brilliant.
It features one of MM's most famous scenes singing 'Diamonds are a Girls Bestfriend' in the wonderful pink outfit that Madonna copied in her 'Material Girl' video.
Marilyn has influenced a lot of females of time including Debbie Harry of Blondie and actresses such as Jayne Mansfield, Scarlett Johansson, and the brilliant Michelle Williams who portrayed Marilyn in 'My Week with Marilyn.'
There are plenty of MM films coming on TV this month and I have plenty downloaded to watch. My other favourite is 'Some Like it Hot' the story line is funny and Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis are great actors in their roles.
One thing I quite like about being on the Royal Mail panel, is the envelopes I get to keep. I'm glad I've started up selling online again as they are coming in very handy for me. If I'm careful to peel the jiffy bags open and they don't have any machine markings on the front, I can re-use them. I get sent weekly things I need to post, inside a large grey mailing bag and I am able to re-use this too. I make sure I cut close to the edge to save most of it. I also receive excess white paper (perfect for my weekly To Do lists), extra unused envelopes and blank sticky address labels. I have a big collection sitting on my shelf ready to use when needed.
