Happy birthday, Ms. Norma Jean:


I love this picture, she just looks *kissable*. Beautiful and fun and real, all at once, not the shellacked hard shell of glamour she became. Here, I think it's easy to see why she was a sex symbol.

It's funny, because the very thing she became famous for took away the warm, awkward individuality that made her so desirable in the first place.

I have to say, what I love here is that tummy. Just look at it! It's adorable! And I know that it would never, never make it through a cursory photoshop pass these days, which just makes me extra glad to see it.

So, yeah, what you said: very real and warm.
