The weekend is nearly over. Still a bit of time to relax though.
Marilyn Monroe downs a carbonated soft drink while Jane Russell checks herself out between takes on Gentleman Prefer Blondes (1953).

The colorful theatrical release poster for 20th Century Fox’s 1953 classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
”Two glamorous showgirls have everything a girl could want - except engagement rings! In a quest for true love, Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) and her gold-digger pal Dorothy (Jane Russell) set sail on a luxury liner for France.
While on board, the pair hit rocky waters when a manipulative detective (Elliot Reid), and aging millionaire (Charles Coburn) and the entire men’s Olympic gymnastics team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief.”

Stay cozy.

One Dress a Day Challenge
May: Purple Redux
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / Marilyn Monroe as Lorelai Lee
I'm not sure whether this outfit is one or two pieces. It looks like two, since the top and skirt are made of contrasting material, but it seems to have a zipper in back, which is usually something you'd see on a one-piece. The top appears to be of a soft knit material, and it features rather daring cutouts in a deep V shape. The V is echoed by the crossover shape in the front of the skirt, which has a faint stripe. The outfit is matched with two wide gold wristbands and dangling hoop earrings.
I just revisited this movie for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten what a fashion parade it is!
