I think it would be pretty interesting!

Fifteen minutes of rather monotonous head motion would be "interesting"?! indeed...

You can just picture the scene, Pays all that cash,
gets home, pop corn in one hand, baby oil in the other.
and what comes on "Marilyn Manson"

In fact, she is not even "she": IT (the image) is a pop icon, not a formerly living person.

Interesting point.

It's strange how times change, and the natural female form no longer seems appreciated. If Norma Mortenson walked into a modeling agency today... well... if they were feeling "nice" they'd tell her to get implants and lose 20-30 lbs before she dared to come back; and if not, they'd simply laugh and close the door in her face.

I realize that. I was simply agreeing with the fact that "Marilyn Monroe" wasn't a real person; merely a fictitious pop icon. Norma Jeane Mortenson (and later Baker) was a person, and her size 14 body wouldn't be "acceptable" by many of todays "standards".

I'd tend to disagree with the notion that Warhol made her a pop icon though. He may have added the finishing touches to the process, but I'd credit Tom Kelley's photoshoot for actually making her a pop icon. That photoshoot, and its appearance in the first Playboy, were two of the primary catalysts of the sexual revolution.
