the legend”. The ad had a solid blue back ground with a yellow and pink lines outlining Marilyn Monroe’s picture. Marilyn Monroe’s gorgeous face can be seen clearly on the ad the yellow eyeshadow and the red lips instantly catch the views attention. I believe that the ad was targeted more so for men due to the sensual picture of Marilyn Monroe that they chose. The ad also states how even after 29 films Marilyn remained the delicious dessert and the fantasy of all men. I can understand what they…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Beatles, The American Flag, The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Baseball, Apple Pie, a Cadillac, and the famous kiss after World War II. All of these pictures can be characterized as “American classics” and also stating that Coca-Cola is also an American classic. They try and make it seem like the drink is a classic because all the greats, like Elvis, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe, drank it. Also with the use of the American flag, pie, hot dog, baseball,…

Strong women have been a mystery throughout the history of our known world. Each woman has her own power inside herself; how she uses her power defines the influence on her culture and the rest of the world. As we look back through ancient times, women have been treated equal to men as well as being treated as though they had no use to society. In each culture studied, at least one woman has risen up against all odds to become an inspiration for ages after her death. Webster’s Dictionary defines…

Andy Warhol, an American artist who painted post-World War II, once said, “Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can 't see” (“Sunbeams: Issue 447”). The American Dream incorporates this sense of imagination and hope: it creates motivation to fully commit one’s time and effort in order to accomplish his or her ambitions. Warhol, however, warns people that aspirations requiring hard work can evolve into…

Marilyn Monroe was a Hollywood actress who was found dead in 1962. With no signs of foul play at the scene and an exceeding amount of barbiturates in Monroe's system, her death was ruled a probable suicide. Reports from her psychiatrist of substance dependency, severe depression and other health issues bolstered the conclusion. However, despite being flawed or outrageous, conspiracy theories keep suspicion alive that Monroe was murdered or accidentally overdosed. Most are based on and add to…

It may be hard to believe, but it’s been a decade since Megan Fox was introduced to the world as the love interest of Shia LaBeouf in the first of a series of big-budget, increasingly tedious films about transforming cars that come from outer space. This role, though fairly straightforward, launched Fox into superstardom. In fact, there was a period of time when she was absolutely everywhere. She was in movies, on television, in magazines, on billboards. It seemed that you couldn’t go anywhere…

acting whatever you name it, they have to do. It gets to a point doesn’t it? Marilyn Monroe said that “Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.” and we see how Hollywood did just that to a smart blonde. First off let’s just get this straight, Marilyn Monroe is not a true blonde, just like most of Hollywood, it is fake. Passing through husbands and scandals Marilyn is like any other in the spotlight, no matter the time period, yet she…

What’s the world like the day after you leave it physically? Will your haters still hate on you? Will the ones who once didn’t have a nice word to say about you, praise you at your funeral? Will they care now that you are gone? Many scholars including film director Alfred Hitchcock argue that characters are more important dead than alive and I agree with this statement. It takes death for people to care about you even though it is much too late. Therefore this shows that gratitude is much…

black cloth. This is evidence that supports one of Meyer’s arguments that the artwork was censored due to Warhol idolatrizing and showing desire towards the wanted men. Another piece of evidence that supports this is the work being similar to Marilyn Monroe Twenty Times as both contain subject matter pertaining to the idea of fame. Or, in the case of Thirteen Most Wanted Men, infamy. Meyers then dives into another one of his main arguments about how Thirteen Most Wanted Men is about masculinity…
