Girl Next Door turns Unforgettable Sex Symbol

Marilyn Monroe was once with friend Susan Strasberg in a New York street, dressed in casual clothes and wearing no makeup. Everyone ignored her until she whispered to Susan, “Watch this.” Her body language changed, her hips swivelled – ‘Marilyn’ had switched on and the crowds suddenly clamoured for her autograph.

IS MARILYN YOUR STYLE GUIDE?

Creative, inspirational, and animated, Marilyn’s are like a garden full of flowers in the sunshine: bright, warm, light, clear, and soft. They light up a room when talking about something they are passionate about, with wild animated hand gestures and a childlike energy to their words. Typically, they flit from one idea to the next, easily inspired by all that is around them. They like to see the beauty in everything.

They are all about fun and their enthusiastic personalities are infectious. Imaginative and innovative, they are excellent communicators and multitaskers. Marilyn’s are the talkative types that selling comes naturally to. They are fantastic story tellers. These quick-thinking creatives are literally overflowing with ideas and are very inspiring to be around.

But just like Marilyn, they do have a quieter side also. They have a tendency to take on too much at once, becoming stressed and drained as a result. Many a project can remain incomplete as they race from one new idea to another. Their minds are always so busy trying to do it all and it can be a challenge for them to stop and focus. They tend to hold on to a lot of stuff and are prone to disorganisation. Simplicity and clarity are their saviours.

YOUR COLOUR PALETTE

If you’re a Marilyn, you will want a palette of slightly soft, clear and bright colours – no neons or barely there tones. Marilyn’s adore polka dots, circles, bubbles, and small, fun, irregular patterns. They favour curved and flowing lines and anything with the appearance of movement. Typography choices are fun, but should be restrained and include mostly unfussy clean fonts. Light, bright images and illustrations round out your branding, with an unexpected dash of sparkle here and there.

Marilyn Monroe was a fighter. She suffered from Imposter Syndrome, depression, anxiety, and abuse – and still became one of the most imitated and memorable icons of all time.
