She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.”</em> - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene</p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51126090055http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51126090055Wed, 22 May 2013 21:04:39 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/da0b50233e4d54abd77aab242607f70f/tumblr_mn7634Vbue1rum5sfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (1902)</p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51120281408http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51120281408Wed, 22 May 2013 19:42:56 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f70063650e180446164c15355aeb165e/tumblr_ml5ppyMpcv1ryps5oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><span>Vincent Van Gogh Terrasse de Cafe la Nuit</span></p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51117458425http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51117458425Wed, 22 May 2013 19:07:57 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3a1d7d3386cb0698121a8fe9e3e6a9b7/tumblr_mmviyzL8EO1rrnekqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://books0977.tumblr.com/post/51098483263/the-pink-dancers-before-the-ballet-1884-edgar">books0977</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Pink Dancers, Before the Ballet (1884). <span>Edgar Degas (French, </span><span>Impressionism, 1834-1917).

The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.<br/><br/>These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.</p> <p><a href="http://the-science-llama.tumblr.com/post/39253793387/13-must-see-stargazing-events-for-2013-listed-in">Stargazing Events for 2013</a></p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51116183906http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51116183906Wed, 22 May 2013 18:52:24 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1aca3ab817347deb9ac4a1e258994d96/tumblr_mn859307F71r6w4oyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><small>Vincent van Gogh, Couple Walking among Olive Trees in a Mountainous Landscape with Crescent Moon, 1889</small></p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51115971258http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51115971258Wed, 22 May 2013 18:49:49 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9f5231e6528491a5d8bb45221b4370a9/tumblr_mkf0bwP0sN1s7asvpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51113657711http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51113657711Wed, 22 May 2013 18:21:11 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f3fea4d4aa6e88428a85302851019e38/tumblr_mmmxlbrm101rgd1tuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Marilyn’s favorite photo of herself on the set of The Seven Year Itch, 1954</p> </blockquote>http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51113447366http://digitalretina68.tumblr.com/post/51113447366Wed, 22 May 2013 18:18:33 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/88ede5ca39dd7d77ee91772ac845b124/tumblr_mmjkmuRSrT1rnvzfwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://amandaonwriting.tumblr.com/post/51052347422">amandaonwriting</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Literary Birthday - 22 May</span><br/><span></span></p> <p><span>Happy Birthday, <strong>Arthur Conan Doyle</strong>, born 22 May 1859, died 7 July 1930</span></p> <p><strong><span>10 Quotes</span></strong></p> <ol><li><span>It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.</span></li> <li><span>Anything is better than stagnation.</span></li> <li><span>When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.</span></li> <li><span>My mind rebels at stagnation.
