Barbie as Marilyn Monroe - The Seven Year Itch [Collector Edition]

Product Information

Luke Evans reveals he has lost a staggering 17lbs in 10 weeks as he shows off his ripped physique in shirtless video Jessie J flaunts her toned post-baby body in grey underwear as she shares a glimpse at family trip with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman and son Sky Marilyn’s childish voice in those films, which Ana de Armas’s portrayal of Monroe highlights, functioned similarly. The dumb blonde was understood to have the mind of a child and the voluptuous body of a young adult. That concept demanded a voice similar to a minor’s to make her seem both fragile and sexual at once. For that reason, Marilyn used her characteristic high-pitched, whispering diction, as if she articulated her words in sighs that left her breathless in the middle of a sentence. That’s the voice with which she is usually associated, but Monroe gradually shed it as she played more mature and complex roles, as in Bus Stop (1956) and The Misfits (1961). Brigitte Bardot was the European answer to the American blonde. Just as beautiful and candid, she more fully owned her sexuality. Hulton Archive (Getty Images)

Some legal scholars thought that an appeal of Kozinski’s opinion might carry Barbie v. Bratz to the Supreme Court. That never happened, but the legal battle went on with yet another lawsuit. The intellectual-property issues raised by the case have not been resolved, nor have the weightier matters of the intellectual independence of girls or the relationship between men and women at work. As with modern Barbie dolls, it's also very sought-after for vintage Barbie dolls to be untouched and to be in their original box. That can have a massive effect on the value. Indeed, it is the radical reinvention of her image that helps explain her appeal. In the shift from Norma Jeane to Marilyn, from girl-next-door brunette to blinding-peroxide blonde, and from stammerer to vocal seductress, she also moved from victim to agent. So, as Barbie makes the colour inescapable once again, what does it represent now? Director Greta Gerwig said she wanted to make "something anarchic and wild and completely bananas", and says "it most certainly is a feminist film... in a way that includes everyone." (Although Mattel themselves beg to differ). Actor America Ferrera was drawn to the film because it confronts Barbie's role in "shaping expectations for women" and her character Gloria – assistant to Mattel's CEO and mother of a teenage daughter – delivers a pivotal monologue that Margot Robbie says "captures the cognitive dissonance of being a woman under the patriarchy".

Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen.” Indeed, she was a fantasy come to life in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), director Howard Hawks’s memorable adaptation of Anita Loos’s book. Loos, a woman who stood out precisely because of her strength and independence, published the novel in 1925: in it, her protagonist, Lorelei Lee, was a frivolous and materialistic blonde girl, but she was by no means a fool. The character changed between the carefree and morally loose 1920s and the conservative 1950s.

In the 1980s, the pink triangle became a sign of resistance, featuring on posters during the Aids crisis, and remains a powerful symbol in the queer community.

Emma Stone stars with DOLL in surreal Athens photo-shoot by The Favourite director... and quips that she wishes all her films were SILENT The film version based its plot and humor on the interplay of contrasts. For instance, the disinterested and shrewd brunette (Jane Russell) contrasted with the materialistic and giddy blonde (Marilyn Monroe). But the most important contrast was the one between the blonde character’s apparent simplicity – she was unable to understand how to correctly use a tiara – and the wisdom about the human race behind some of her utterances. For example: “A rich man is like a pretty girl. You wouldn’t marry a girl just because she’s pretty, but doesn’t it help?” Or: “I can be smart when it’s important, but most men don’t like it.” The audience had to decide whether such lines were candid or cynical. That’s why Lorelei Lee fascinated viewers so much, her body aside.
