Subject
Marilyn Monroe’s iconic photo
Description
This is one of the most famous photos of Marilyn Monroe that really showcase the fresh sexuality that she brought during her era. Monroe was a new kind of sexuality, this iconic photo showed her personality: while most women during her time would likely be embarrassed or scared of having their dress blown by the wind, she instead laughed playfully. She was on the big screen constantly, managing to be a sex symbol while still having the “girl next door” vibe.
