Marylin Monroe - The Ultimate Bottle Blonde

This week has seen the release of a film about one of the most glamorous women in the world. 'My Week With Marilyn' is a film maker's account of a week that he spent with Marilyn Monroe on a film set at Pine Wood studios in London during the 1950s. The release of this film has created a new hive of media attention around this truly iconic woman.



Previously known as Norma Jeane Baker, this lady was obsessed with fame and was incredibly charming. Norma worked hard to create the glamour puss Marilyn Monroe - a woman who loved attention from the media and men equally! She quickly became a talented Hollywood actress and her signature look was lots of red lipstick and that bottle-blonde hair.

Behind the scenes it seems that Marilyn was something of a lost soul for many years; her untimely death at just 36 years old is testament to this. But she paved the way for female glamour forever, and she was, and still is, one of the most talked about female icons that the showbiz world has ever produced.



Here at Tie Towel, we think she's stunning - especially that gorgeous blonde hair. One thing that makes us even more sad about Marilyn is the fact that she wasn't around to see the Tie Towel invention, which we know she would've loved.

Imagine how much easier Marilyn's life would've been if she'd had a Tie Towel to protect all of her lovely dresses and that beautiful pearly white skin when she was bleaching her hair. I think we can safely say she would've been a fan of it!
