You're darn awesome! If everything else about my day is absolute crap, I know that there will be at least one beautiful thing to look at when I check my dash and see your posts. So, thanks. Um.

Costume designer William Travilla originally created a gem-studded bikini for Marilyn Monroe to perform “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. However, facing fallout from some nude photographs Marilyn had taken as a struggling actress several years before, the studio nixed the risqué ensemble. Travilla quickly whipped up the now-iconic pink dress to replace it.
