Btw a bunch of those songs were not about her. Candle in the Wind was written in response to Lady Diana's death; Madonna's Vogue, (go back and do your research) was from the gay communities take on pop locking, it was their version and they would have battles where they would Vogue in night clubs.. It was like bitchy queen vs bitchy queen.. who dances better? Let me guess.. it was the bitchy queen. Just because a song says the name Marilyn does not mean it's about Marilyn Monroe. If anyone knows the band Suede they would know the lead singer has been struggling with a major drug addiction.. for ironically enough heroin. The name, and the song were simply a play on words. These music facts are going to make Pretty twitch.. Not to mention her acting is subpar at best, her singing was mediocre, (her voice was irritating unless she was high on barbituates.. a few of you have asked where my name came from.. it's something called Phenobarbital, (her drug of choice) and when she was on it her voice got softer, sultrier, huskier and all together sexier), her jokes, (while they may have been quoted as being funny) were a joke. Want to know why she was such a quote on quote knock out.. stellar, whatever.. it was because she was surprise surprise banging a president. Who by the way was married. And her untimely death and the suspicions surrounding it gave her some noteriety. Heath Ledger isn't a legend now, give it 30 years and he'll be a legend.. hollywood famous death.. Zomg legend. Why do you think he won the best villian award.. cause he was that great? I don't think so. As for fashion.. ok she got her face on a dress, which is tacky.. and the kitchen and the pots and pans got immortalized on the runway, (I felt sorry for that model or group of models I should say) and the plumage sticking out the ass of another runway show... and the big bold jacket that said NO... It actually formed and was molded into the word no, I was clusterf*cked going "no what?" Umm... so my score for marilyn's legend.. umm.. 3? Monica Lewinski did it better.. that would be banging and scandal, and plus size. After all "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" "And I didn't enhale" if you know those quotes you might have the right to call Marilyn a legend.. after all she was an American Legend.
