Pulling a Marilyn

Am I typical? My idol from late middle school through high school was Marilyn Monroe. I even dyed my hair blonde. And copied her signature expressions such as "Thank you ever so!". I was bored, what can I say?
But the other day, without trying, I pulled a Marilyn. Right before my audition for a play adapted from a lesbian pulp novel, no less, the strap to my dress broke! And, as it was a sundress, I was sans underclothing! My friend suggested I try the ladies dressing room for a safety pin. As I was scouring the floor, a girl asked me what I was doing. I told her, and, since I was auditioning before her, she gave me the safety pin holding tighter HER OWN straps for me to use. After my audition, I promptly pinned her back up! Wasn't that nice?! We were probably even going for the same part! Who says this business is so cut throat?!

I am glad to hear you pulled a Marilyn. In high school most of our classmates idolized Sebastian Bach (of the band Skid Row) or Shannon Doherty (from 90210). Shannon Doherty was only cool for the kids who had cable because our town didn't have a local fox station when we were kids. I digress. Notice that I do not have to explain why Marilyn Monroe is famous. You brought class and refinement to our little village. Plus, idolizing Marilyn Monroe is far cooler than my high school idol - Pee Wee Herman. It was a bit embarrassing when Trav found my Pee Wee stash. He questioned our entire relationship when he opened a box filled with a foot tall Pee Wee doll, Chairy, and clippings from anything Pee Wee related. "Thank you ever so!" can be worked into so many more conversation than "Good idea Chairy!"
