Monroe has been making a resurgence in the media as of late, from her new movie Blonde to the fiasco of Kim Kardashian potentially spoiling her iconic 1962 gown.
It’s amazing how after all these years, Monroe still manages to send shockwaves through pop culture. A true supernova bursting in our universe.
