My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Marylin Monroe…
The one and only blond bombshell icon who has embraced both the uncontrollable sexy vixen, the ‘meow-kitten’, the entertaining, the ingenue innocent school girl and the classy presidential potential wifey to be. All in one package.
Here is to a woman who seemed like she had it all, and left us wondering and always wanting more….
”…After pictures of the Queen sitting on the loo, Monica Lewinsky lighting Bill Clinton’s cigar and Tony Blair and George Bush in a sauna, here is something a little easier on the eye. These fake paparazzi shots of Marilyn and JFK are by photographer Alison Jackson.
“Jackson’s work causes controversy, because it threatens to cross the line between the private and public life of our contemporary icons. Because we unquestionably accept the authenticity of a photograph it would appear we are being given a glimpse of something confidential, a private moment. Upon closer examination we question the reality of the image, and hopefully this makes us question our unwitting tendency to believe everything we see in the media today.” – Taschen Books
