Well why was it when they had an auction of her belongings, her dresses ranged from size 7 to size 14? Marilyn had some chunky moments and if you're saying that a size 12 is equivalent to today's size 8, than her size 7 would be the same as today's size 3, hmmm--I don't think so!!! Most of her clothes were tailored to fit her anyway. Even in her teenage years, she didn't look like a size 3...too much T & A!!! And I LOVE Marilyn!!! I have just about every book written about her, and I own every movie she starred in. But on the size issue, I'm gonna have to agree with my girl "Exquizit"!!!

Well, I saw the preview auction too on the Today show! That is where I actually heard about the dress size issue. Granted I may be wrong about which end the chart goes but it doesn't matter because it really is not that serious
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I'm a very big fan of Marilyn as well.
But 30 repeats of the same person (Elvis
) every year becomes tiring!
