Marilyn Monroe Collection (part 1)

This is a small portion of my Marilyn Monroe Collection, which I started about 12 years ago. I started off with some originally signed postcards, which I sold at auction for the funding of my wedding in 2007. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures, I couldn't take them down so I did the best that I could. I also collect the things that she loved most, such as the Chanel No. 5 Oil Perfume that she wore 'till the day she passed away. I have the original newspaper cover from the day she passed away, and some original autographed photos. Enjoy!


This one is completely black and white..except for the red lips.

This is actually a huge portrait, a 4'x3'

Another rare poster I had framed.

This portrait was a pose for Vanity Fair, and is originally signed on the back by the Beauty herself.

I couldn't reach these to take pics of them, but they are Barbie Marilyn Monroe's

This is the back of one of the MM Barbie dolls

Disneyland 2010

People always ask us why we go to Disneyland so often. My answer always is, "Because it's a good distraction, that's why we (My Husband and I) purchased annual passes." I feel like there are literally no worries, or burdens on my shoulders when we are there, and that's enough to relieve the stress that I have accumulated throughout my week. The fantasy-like quality that the park has to offer gives me the sense that whatever I couldn't have as a child I could damn well have it now as an Adult. Believe it or not, but every time we are there at the theme park, we always, always see something new. Disney's California Adventure is another place to get away from it all. If it's a hot day we can go and play in the small water park that is inside the park, or we can cool down inside the Hyperion Theater and watch Aladdin, The Broadway Musical. It is so relaxing to watch the free shows, and walk around meeting new people from around the Country-sometimes even

It's never too late to go back to school, my ode to Rio.

When I turned 30 years old, I was asked, "Zule, what have you accomplished so far? Are you content with yourself living as you have been for the further of ten more years?" I was unable to answer that question. By the time I was thirty, I had three young children, a loving Husband, and a beautiful home. The week after that, I enrolled in adult school to complete my High School Diploma. At the end of my courses, I received a letter in the mail stating that I had completed the course materials, and was set to graduate that summer. During one of the classes I was taking, there was a guest speaker. She was meant to inspire young high school drop outs to go to college. She was a speaker from Rio Hondo Community College. This lady changed my life.  She told us that anyone can go to college, it is not meant for any specific age, and it was meant to help you figure out your skills, and prepare you for a meaningful career. She continued on, and told us that she as a mother of four y

Troubled....

Typing on my iPad, is a actually very hard to do. is life supposed to be ying\yang? I mean are we supposed to go through good times, great times, then bad times, and horrible times? Fuck, I am so trying to make sense right now. Last year I had one of the GREATEST years of my whole entire life. This year (2011) has been literally one (one) of the worst I have had so far. I am trying (have been trying) to maintain a positive attitude, but I have been failing miserably. I shut people out of my life so much in these recent years, that now that I need someone to come visit me, or need me no one gives a flying fuck. Is this what is left? I have been pondering, if this how my life is going to be? I really hate everything (including myself) at the moment. Nothing seems to be right. Why. Wasn't having a horrible childhood sufficient? Need I fail at my Adult life as well? Looks like I'm at the end of the line. For the record, I'm not suicidal, I am troubled. I wish I could get a tatt
