♥ imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. ~ marilyn monroe

many of us are familiar with this iconic image of marilyn monroe-

but have you ever watched the film from which it is taken?

 the seven year itch (1955) is a fantastic little comedy about a dull

yet imaginative husband whose family has gone away for the summer,

and left to his own devices, spends much too much of his free time

day dreaming about his beautiful, young neighbor.

this film makes me want to beat the heat and put my undies in the icebox

and maybe wear a classic red lip + nail polish combination more often.
