My amazing presents from my amazing best friend Lauren (thebeautyofmarilyn -follow!) who is the sweetest person ever. <3

Marilyn Monroe: Private and Undisclosed by Michelle Morgan new and revised edition with 60,000+ words! :)

Look what I’ve got! Vanity Fair June 2012. (I may have got another one too…)

Conversations with Marilyn by W.J Weatherby.

My new oversized Marilyn T-shirt from Forever 21! :)

Marilyn Monroe 50th Anniversary Edition including sixty minute DVD. I have been waiting for this since March 17th and it was finally in stock, yay!

Marilyn at Twentieth Century Fox.

Icons of our time; Marilyn Monroe.

The Unabridged Marilyn.

My new Marilyn by Magnum book! A lot of the pictures I have never seen (!) and I will be scanning some for you all later! A stunningly beautiful book and a lot of Eve Arnold and Phillipe Halsman’s pictures (a lot of his are the rare ones!) a must for any Marilyn fan.

My beautiful Marilyn Tote Bag that my best friend Sabrina sent me as a surprise! Isn’t she the best?!

My little Marilyn Easter presents my mum got me, she’s the cutest! :)

This is possibly the most favourite thing in my collection. This is Maurice Zolotow’s Marilyn Biography, the updated version with pictures which was released in 1990. This was the only Marilyn biography released in her lifetime! It was originally released in 1960 and 1961. So it is a must for MM fans but very hard to find! It also has very beautiful and rare pictures (one that I have never seen of Marilyn and Clark in The Misfits - I will post the pictures in a separate post!)

I’ve just realised! I missed out another present Sabrina got me because it was in my MM book I’m currently reading! This is a beautiful bookmark from Milton Greene’s The Ballerina Sitting that she made for me! Isn’t she the sweetest? <3
