Joe DiMaggio's birthday today is a great time for me to think about the love of his life and use that feeling to express respect for other women with different talents that I revere.
Marilyn was a free spirit.
Freedom is at the heart of living a good life.
The worse the police state trends in Australia get, the more I love the freedom fighters and the womanly beauty of some of them is no obstacle to making that love and respect stronger.
That is how God made us.
Some one has gone all mushy. But you do fit the stereotype, somewhat.
Your point is well taken. Many of us here have remarked about the physical beauty of conservative women compared to the relative ugliness of their leftwing counterparts.
A free spirit is a free spirit, not troubled, neurotic, depressive, addictive and suicidal.
To me, a free spirit is someone living their own life by their own standards and untroubled by others’ rules and limits, and happy in cutting their own path.
Marilyn Monroe was seen as an unhappy victim of other people and died at an early age, not from a bad body part or a climbing accident but from a crushed spirit.
Marilyn appeared before cheering American soldiers and remarked later to Joe, “You just can’t imagine what it’s like having thousands of people cheering for you!”
Joe said, “Yes, I can.”
Before I became a conservative I would have laughed at this comment, but it’s actually quite true. With exceptions, one side tries & the other doesn’t care.
You probably want to reconsider. Dimaggio was an abuser. He smacked her around regularly. He was scum. His love was torture.
I’ve heard that DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe were going to get married again and that DiMaggio always thought that the Kennedys had her murdered. Not sure how true that is.
