♥ Here are some of Marilyn's preferences in life...her favorite drink, her favorite singers and even her own favorite performances she gave! Enjoy lovlies! ♥

______________________________________________________________________________

Marilyn's favorite drink was Dom Perignon 1953. She is frequently seen drinking this in photographs and liked to drink a glass before she was photographed. It loosened her up a bit!

Her favourite performances were in Asphalt Jungle (1950), Don't Bother to Knock (the breakdown scene) (1952).

A spicy version of the classic Chanel-Monroe duo.

They say that she used to take ice-baths that she would fragrance with Chanel No. 5, she felt as though it would tighten her skin and keep it young and fresh!
