58 years ago today one of the most iconic performances in history was born as Marilyn Monroe sang her version of happy birthday, pretty legendaric if you ask me

Marilyn talking about the event

many people thought and still think that Marilyn was drunk and lost her way backstage therefore she arrived late and her performance was sexy but the performance was meant to look like that, she rehashed it the exact same way for days

the dress was covered with 2,500 rhinestones and was so tight that she had to be sewn into it, it's also the world's most expensive dress ever sold.. $4.8 million. they don't make them like this anymore

i had this video on my phone a while ago and i saw it on insta many times idk who it belongs to so credit to whoever took it, you're SO lucky

Marilyn talking about that night

the performance made many speculate that there was a thing going on between Marilyn and JFK and not to disappoint yall but nothing happened, unfortunately reality is boring :/ https://twitter.com/versaceschanel/status/1209575691899035648?s=19

and lemme drop this here bc it's relevant and yall seem to have questions https://twitter.com/versaceschanel/status/1209531553317105664?s=19

and finally i'd like to announce that i'm buying the dress the second i become a millionaire

end of thread ig

AND whoever has the full thing with a good quality you better put it out there it's been decades, have some DIGNITY
