hungarianchick 0 #27 October 5, 2005 QuoteMost women don't know this, but the apparel industry has changed the measurements of clothing sizes over the years to make women feel better about themselves. Actually I 'm aware of this trend, but there is still no way MM would pass for a size 4. However, it doesn't change the fact that she was very beautiful and comfortable with herself "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food."

lisamariewillbe 1 #36 October 6, 2005 If I remember correctly she was born something completley different but when her grandma got her, she baptized her with Baker. She had ALOT of names.

kallend 2,112 #37 October 6, 2005 QuoteQuotesomething about those measurements don't add up. I doubt that with the height of 5'5 1/2"and size 8/12 she would weigh 118 lbs. Most women don't know this, but the apparel industry has changed the measurements of clothing sizes over the years to make women feel better about themselves. . They really don't know that? I'm surprised, 'cos I've known that for years. Also, the more upscale the apparel the smaller the listed size will be.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Oh and before she became famous, she inspected parachutes.... Marylin was the name suggested by Ben Lyon, the agent who "discovered" her (and went on to be a successful comedian in England). Monroe was her mother's name. Her father was unknown but reputed to be a guy named Mortenson.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
