The new sale of the century - Julien's Auctions Nov 2016

It was called the sale of the century.  Nothing has come close to the Christies auction of Marilyn's personal belongings back in October 1999.  Nothing that is until now....

Juliens Auctions is holding a Marilyn only auction starting November 17, 2016.  This has turned out to be the largest offering of Marilyn owned items since Christies.  I doubt we will ever see an auction like this again.  The auction catalogue itself will be a collectable in its own right.

The highlight of the auction is sure to be the Happy Birthday Mr. President dress Marilyn wore while singing to JFK.  This dress originally sold at Christies and has not been publicly seen since.  The dress will be on exhibit in New Jersey, Ireland and LA.

If anyone is thinking about bidding in the upcoming Julien's auction (and if you ever wanted to own something of Marilyn's then you should be bidding!!) I highly recommend that you do it over the phone and NOT online. I bid on a previous Juliens auction using the phone method. They call you a couple of lots before the one you want comes up. The important part of this is that if you bid online you are charged an additional 3% buyers premium!!! You will save money doing it over the phone.  Be aware you have to pay a 25% buyer premium no matter which method you choose but if online it becomes 28%.

Good luck everyone!

Happy 90th Birthday Marilyn!

It is hard to believe that our lovely Marilyn would have been 90 years old today. She is forever young in our minds and hearts. I hope everyone is holding a good thought for her today.  Happy Birthday Marilyn!

New Life Magazine features Marilyn on Cover

Marilyn is gracing the cover of Life Magazine again. It is a shot taken by photographer Ed Clark. Currently available at newstands this magazine is not dedicated to her - she has around 3 pages. However, this is a gorgeous cover and I love that they used a rarer photo of Marilyn.

Last chance to download My Marilyn Podcasts

Just wanted to give everyone a head's up that the top ten archived episodes of the My Marilyn Podcast will no longer be available online as of May 1, 2016.

If you want to download any of them please do so now at http://mymarilyn.libsyn.com/page

Since I don't anticipate continuing with a podcast anytime soon I have decided that it is just not worth paying for the additional hosting of these files.  I may put them up on youtube as a free option in the future but this will be the last way to actually download the files.

Ray Anthony's Marilyn and I

In honour of Marilyn's upcoming 90th birthday, big band leader Ray Anthony has released a short film about his time with her.  As fans know Ray wrote a song called "Marilyn" and threw a party for her in 1952.  This event featured some of the most beautiful footage and photos of Marilyn.

You can watch the film on Ray's website http://marilynandi.com/
