I never liked it. Even Monroe's image doesn't do anything for the frumpy, dated vibe I get from the name. I picture some 1960's housewife with her hair in rollers, in her bathrobe in the middle of the day, cigarette hanging out of her mouth, drinking black coffee and watching the soaps and spreading vicious gossip about all her friends to all her other friends on the phone.
I'm not wild about Marilyn Monroe either. I mean, she was as artificial and contrived as any reality "star" of today, but with a veneer of innocence and classi ness. Just a veneer.
