Nobody is Perfect!

"Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. It is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely stupid..."
-- Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe personified Hollywood glamour with an unparalleled glow and energy that amazed the world. She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. She signed her first studio contract with Twentieth Century Fox on August 26, 1946.

On August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home.

She was more than just a movie star or glamour queen. Today, the name "Marilyn Monroe" is synonymous with beauty, sensuality and effervescence. She remains an inspiration to all who strive to overcome personal obstacles for the goal of achieving greatness.

I choose this quote because I have always liked Marilyn Monroe and this quote is very unique. I believe that imperfection is beauty, no one is perfect and everyone has their flaws and that is what makes them beautiful. My madness often allows me to get my way (Just ask my boyfriend). And finally, I am always being ridiculous, not stupid, just plain out ridiculous, my friends often refer to the things I say and do as crazy or ridiculous, but I just like to have fun and live life to the fullest!
