Perhaps your love for Marilyn needs to extend beyond T-shirts and posters. If you love anything Marilyn, practically everything can be adorned with the blonde bombshell. Sure, Christmas ornaments and wall clocks are nice, but for all those diehard fans, well you know you can do better than that.
Yours truly collects Marilyn Merlots or pretty much any Marilyn wines I can get a hold of. On a recent trip to North Carolina, I tried to get my aunt to purchase a bottle that sold for about $300. She wouldn’t budge, so I told her she must not truly love me.
Another expensive Marilyn item is the line by Hour Glass Ltd. Their hand-blown Marilyn wine and martini glasses can be yours for about $1,000. Available at www.hourglassstudio.com
A true fan but out of your price range? How about a Marilyn Monroe tape measure for the home? This jeweled tape measure sells for just $13.39 and can be purchased at www.whateversports.com
And for those of you who must share your love for the starlet with others you love, check out the “Diamonds are a Dogs’ BF” dress. At pinkhotdog.com, you can select from a series of Marilyn-made famous styles such as the dress she wore when singing happy birthday to the president. And they’re all for your pooch. Now that’s love for Marilyn.
