Our Vegas Wedding Video

After some debate, I decided to post our wedding video.  Who knows, maybe we'll become a youtube sensation :)  It is definitely not something you see everyday.  Thanks again, to my beautiful bridesmaid, Susan Griffiths and maid of honour, Suzie Kennedy for being part of our wedding.  You may also recognize the gentlemen sitting in the last row as we come down the aisle.  It is Kim Goodwin, known on my website as the amazing creator of customized Marilyn Monroe dolls.  His role that day was to do Susan's makeup and rush her to the ceremony for me.  Thanks Kim!  Loved having you there.







I have also added a link to the Marilyn Trips section of the website with some of my favourite photos from the big day.  Here is a direct LINK.

Marilyn's Brentwood House for sale

12305 5th Helena Drive
Brentwood, CA 90049

Marilyn's legendary final home is currently up for sale.  So if you have an extra $3,595,000 it can be yours.

Here is the official listing.  It is interesting to note that they didn't even make mention of the fact it was Marilyn's home.  Too bad one of these celebrities, with money to burn, who profess to love Marilyn wouldn't purchase it and make a museum.

Please note that 100% of donations will be used to fund memorial service and reception expenses. The Marilyn Remembered fan club is charged a facility usage fee of $500 to hold the service in the chapel at Westwood Memorial Park, the same chapel where Marilyn's actual funeral services were held. Other expenses include memorial service program printing costs, flowers for the service and Marilyn's crypt, chairs for additional seating if needed, refreshments for the reception following the memorial service, etc.

Everyone donating to the Marilyn Monroe Memorial Fund will be acknowledged in the memorial service program.
