“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene

One of my favorite stories about celebrity.

Irises, Statice

Irises: Do you have words worth spreading? Wise words?

- uhm, not really, but I have this thing… We had a friend’s book photocopied cover to cover because said book isn’t sold in stores anymore and we needed it for a Philosophy class. So she had a lot of things written down on the book that were said/ quoted by the professor. This was one of them: “The worst part is you didn’t even try.”

And I like it. Because it’s not “The worst part is you failed.” or “The worst part is you’re weak”. It’s not that. The worst part is hindering your own abilities. Not how many times you fall, but how many times you stand right back up, yes? :)

Statice: What do you like to remember?

- happy things, mostly. There are just a lot of sad things happening right now and one of the ways to fight the depression they bring is think and focus on the happy thoughts and happy memories! :3

Hyperstealth is a Canadian company that has recently developed a material that bends light waves around a target that allows for complete invisibility labeled “Quantum Stealth”. The material removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal signatures but also the target’s shadow.

fucking canada made the invisibility cloak

I don’t know if you guys have ever watch Cupcake Wars. But these two guys are carpenters who work on the show and make cupcake displays.

They’re brothers.

They are so attractive. On the show they are always wearing plaid.

They are literally the only reason I ever keep this show on.
