When I heard that cStar was designing a Marilyn-skin I got super excited and soon as the demo was available in the mainstore I scooted up there to grab one and designed a Marilyn-shape to use in my photos with it right away. I am a big Marilyn-fan and thoroughly enjoyed creating several looks from different stages in her life but avoiding the most cliché-Marilyn-imitations. And what great coincidence Vintage Fair is going on with tons of new releases fit for a moviestar’s wardrobe. In The Starlet-photo no 1 from left is portraying the rising star Marilyn, the way she looked in the movie “Bus Stop” – fresh out of cheesecake modelling. The dress is a new release from 1 Hundred (Vintage Fair),  in photo no 2 is Marilyn the way she looked when she attended the Lee Strasbourg academy of acting in New York – glasses and casual yet trendy clothes: stripy jumper from Coco (old item) and simple black pencilskirt from Faster Pussycat. “The Diva” is the fullblown moviestar, Marilyn at the top of her carreer adored and copied by the masses – i chose a new red sequin mesh dress from CIA (Vintage Fair) and diamonds from laGyo. Then there is “The Goddess” – Marilyn singing for the president – sporting “Lily” a sexy halterneck dress in gold – a new release from Baiastice (Vintage Fair). In “The Mistfits” Marilyn was cast in casual denim and plaid shirts, I chose a jacket from my inventory from Aoharu and teamed it with one of my own new releases – “Pinup Pants” from Faster Pussycat (Vintage Fair). Below is inspired by what has become known as Marilyn’s “Last Sitting” – a photoshoot she did with photographer Bert Stein commissioned by VOGUE Magazine – wearing nothing but her birthday suit, a selection of scarves and some drops of her favoured perfume Chanel No.5. The shoot  took  place over three daily sessions in late June 1962, just six weeks before she died. I hope this makes a nice tribute to both a legend – and a lovely new cStar skin.

cStar’s “Marilyn” is available now at Fashion Voodoo. It is like so many of cStar’s skins a limited edition skin and the pack also includes a Marilyn shape – only 2 restocks are available. There are 18 different tones to pick from and I am wearing the light tone for my photos. A fatpack option will only be available for the duration of the Fashion Voodoo event and it’s also 50% off. This skin could possibly be a fashionista’s collectible so hurry up and get it now – LM is available in the demo at cStar HQ.
