HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MR PRESIDENT!
As I type this blog, we are drawing to the close of the 50th anniversary of the tragic shooting of the then-serving President of the United States of America - John F Kennedy.
As my tribute to this great man, I recreate a look similar to the woman who sang "Happy Birthday, Mr President!" a few days prior to his 45th birthday on May 19th 1962. Although this is not identical to the gown Marilyn Monroe wore at this event - held at the Madison Square Gardens, New York - this gown is very similar to the gold lame gown she is famous for wearing. The gown was designed for Marilyn to wear in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". The gown she wore at President Kennedy's "birthday" was sold at an auction in New York for $1.26 million!
Marilyn controversially died from an overdose of barbiturates less than 3 months later.
You might recognise the style of this gown if you follow my blogs as I recently reviewed the black version of it recently. The gown is produced by Rebel Hope and retails at L$725. Although in SL Marketplace the colour is shown as "Earth" the actual looks appears to be gold. The hair is the "Teddy" style produced by Truth Hair
