I know there are some you who might be getting tired of her with all the media exposure she's been getting this year - the critically-acclaimed 'My Week with Marilyn', endless/recycled stories about her life and death, a number of magazine covers (case in point: Vanity Fair's May 2012 issue) and amazingly enough, MM-themed businesses are also slated to come out, proving that these black suits still believe her name can lure in profits up to this day.
But whether you like it or not, these are true testaments that even half a century after her death, the world remains fascinated by her fame, beauty, sex and the vulnerability of her life and mysterious demise.
Now, MAC joins in on the spectacle with its Marilyn Monroe collection. Of course, this is no news since it came out in the States early this month. But for us living on the other end of the globe, this collection just hit stores last Saturday, the 20th of October.
I knew that there was gonna be a long queue for the launch, as with every other collection MAC comes out with. So, I had asked a very reliable person to get a number as soon as the mall opens at 10am so my slot would be guaranteed when they start selling the goodies at three in the afternoon.
But when I got there around 3:15, the host told me I was late and had to fall in line. Damn. Apparently, they started the program an hour earlier!
My first thoughts were: Reliability is a myth! Misinformation kills!
Anyway, I instantly calmed down after noticing that the line was quite short so, I begrudgingly went ahead and queued up.
