These are a few pics of my collection. I have a lot of other stuff not seen in theses photos. I just recently got the 7 year itch doll from the Franklin Mint for Christmas. I have a full collection of MM postcards, magnets and a new bottle of Merlot.
My Mom really helps me a lot. She's the one who bought me the doll for Christmas, along with a lot of other MM stuff. I had a real Marilyn Christmas!! I bought the book by Clark Kidder also(Marilyn Monroe Collectibles, via Amazon.com). It has a lot of info on what these collectibles are worth and which one are hard to find, & which ones you should hold on to!
Well, enough rambling, enjoy the photos and if anyone has any questions about collecting, just email me. I will try to help. Thanks !
My collection also includes a MM candle, cookie jar, several vintage books. One particular book I think every MM fan should read is Robert Slatzer's: The life and curious death of Marilyn Monroe. It was written in 1974 eleven years after her death and hard to find, but if you ever come across it, it's a definite must have! He was a very close friend of hers and knew her from the time she was Norma Jeane (in the 40's)up until her death.
I couldn't tell you what my favorite collectible is. I have so many. I really enjoy my vintage magazines and my husband just bought me a wonderfully detailed drawing of MM framed with non -glare glass. Oh, it's so beautiful. I am going to have to take a pic of it soon and show it to everyone who visits.
