Keep Calm Darling, It's Norma Jeane!

Hi there, my name is Aisling and this is simply a blog dedicated to the beautiful Norma Jeane Mortenson, also known as Marilyn Monroe! I've been a fan of Marilyn since I was a young child, although it is only in the last couple of years I have really began to pursue my interests in MM. I like to post extracts from books, videos, quotes, text and questions but mostly photographs of Marilyn which I like. Sometimes I edit pictures and make GIFs. Message me if you have any questions, I would love to help :)

Below are some quotes which are often credited to Marilyn. She did not say these things, there is no source for any of these quotes and most sound nothing like Marilyn - either due to the language used or the actual content of the quote. Before quoting Marilyn you should always source the quote as fake quotes attributed to her are everywhere. 

• “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” 
• “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” 
• “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
• “A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.”
• “I’m pretty, but I’m not beautiful. I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”
• “This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up becuase if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” 
• “Give a girl the right shoes and she will conquer the world.”
• “Well behaved women rarely make history.”
• “If you’re gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.”
• “When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.” 
• “Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.” 
• “We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.” 
• “All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same.”
• “Friendship is the bestiest thing that comes to life. Friends will always be there for you don’t worry about the fakes worry about the people who had your back from the start and never treated you wrong always remember they are your real friends don’t never take them as granted because one day your going to lose a good friend by the way your action’s are when you see a good friend stick to that person.”
