<\/p>\nWhat a lovely vigil we had in celebration of Marilyn Monroe’s life . If you are a member of the Cash Cow Financial Fetish Forums (which you ought to be), you can view the archive of the celebration in this thread (removed).<\/p>\n
My “sacred space” was active with candles and incense, and I added a couple images of Marilyn for the occasion. Here is one view which I find particularly pretty:<\/p>\n

Aside from relating to Marilyn in certain ways, I mostly admire her pure beauty. What she exuded was a very special mix of femininity, sensuality, and kindness. There is a gentle sweetness about her, but also a certain great strength and a shroud of alluring mystery. She was tough, yet vulnerable. She was daring and brave, even if sometimes confused or overwhelmed by sorrow. She “knew how to smile even when she was sad.”<\/p>\n
No, she was not a “perfect” human, nor did she claim to be. In fact, she often expressed her understanding that she was imperfect. And somehow, her honesty about herself, which could be found in interviews, flowed perfectly with the confident, sexy, glamorous image she portrayed to the camera. Anyway you look at her, she was an alluring and exceptional woman.<\/p>\n
Her obituary, read by Lee Strasberg, couldn’t be more perfect:<\/p>\n
