I'm pleased to report that Saturday was worthwhile and productive especially towards the end of the day. I happened to go with a friend to see "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", the first film of Marilyn Monroe's I've even seen. I'll admit that it wasn't really a great film, but seeing the basis for the creation of a cultural icon is interesting.
After the film ended, she and I headed up to a sex-positive "erotic carnival" (used as a fundraiser) on Capitol Hill. In short, Mistress Matisse ( http://www.mistressmatisse.com ), the writer of a terrific weekly column in a local weekly newspaper, was in a kissing booth. The 'carnival' was enjoyable for a variety of reasons, but, alas, you didn't ask about the details!

As for Marylin Monroe films I can heartily recommend Some Like It Hot (though I've never seen it in one sitting). Marylin's character is a slutty alcoholic who would never be a leading lady in hollywood nowadays, so that's fantastic, and the bizarre gender-bending flexi-sexual men at the end were well ahead of their time. Big plus points.
And don't listen to Leola. She is nice eye-candy but doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.
Right, I'm off to run away from Leola who is brandishing sharp things and shouting.
Bye
