Marilyn Monroe Personal

The newest additon to my book collection



After reading the review on this book at The Marilyn Monroe Collection blog, I just had to get this gem of a book! Soon to be published, it's the newest book out about the wonderful glam kitten, legend, diva and girl next door, Marilyn Monroe. The title of the book is MM Personal, and not without reason.. It contains photos of her personal files and documents. Her correspondence with friends, telegrams, receipts, her personal items, and also art that she phurchased before her death... I can't wait for it to dump down my mailbox and maybe learn something new about the person behind the icon:) The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com.

High Voltage Tattoo

Waiting in anticipation to get the books I ordered online yesterday..:) Kat von D's book of tattoos, "High Voltage Tattoo". A book with her work, the stories behind the tattoos, her life and pictures to drool over.. I also ordered the book "1000 Tattoos" by Henk Schiffmacher, it has lots of old scool tattoos and old black and white photos of people with tatts from around the world. I really love the old style tattoo work! Also I find the photos of the people that got tattoos back in the old days really interesting. Rugged sailors, circus artists, free women, you name it!

I'm a total virgin when it comes to tattoos myself, nothing but pure, white virgin skin on my body! haha But I totally admire and love the art! Why I don't want any myself? Well, that's my statement of being different. Though I can't deny, I have been playing with the thought of getting under the needle.. My love has been a tattooist for years and is more or less covered in tattoos and still planning new ones. I simply love his tatts and find them very sexy;) We have a dream of opening our own shop here in Oslo, I think it would suit us perfect. I could do my things, he can do his tattooing. We'll see what happends, it's a big step to take and we have a few things that needs to be in place first.. In the mean while, I'll study the art;)
