Nick Valenza helps to put some finishing touches on ''Forever Marilyn'', a sculpture by Seward Johnson, on July 14, in Chicago. The stainless steel and aluminum sculpture which stands 26 feet tall and weighs 34,000 pounds will be unveiled tomorrow and remain on display in Chicago through the spring of 2012. The sculpture was inspired by Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene in the 1955 movie Seven Year Itch.

Flatulent Marilyn?
I like the shot best with the bag tied over her head. VERY KINKY!
freak!!!!
Hmmm, looks like she isn't wearing a bra. Nice :-)
Have you ever read anything about, Marilyn Monroe, her life, her movies, her life time heart aches? She was a very interesting person. Judge not.
you are so right she was a sweet lillte girl looking to be loved in all the wrong place and like you said she was very well read and she was more interested in mean with brains why do they think she married arthur miller and he was not a hoolywood glamour guy either .i think so many have been given the wrong impression by the hollywood media they just want a story no mater how much it hurts these people!
I think they did an excellent job!
marilyn's beauty is everlasting!!! marilyn's beauty was within as well as external !!!
marilyn's beauty is everlasting !!! she had beauty within as well as her beauty that was seen by all !!!
what is this fixation men have with seeing under her dress? My God does America really have that many sex-deprived men out there?
It was an iconic moment in Marilyn's career and fixture in everyone's mind, so get over yourself Katherine Ayers.
No, I agree with Katherine Ayers. As a male, I'm sometimes disappointed at how dumb we act. Yes, I'm straight, but that's beside the point. Men should be more respectful of women. After all, unless someone was born in a test tube, most of us were carried by them for nine months or so. Perhaps men should learn how to treat women better and get over their idiocy. I'm not perfect, and I'm working on my own idiocy, so I hope others can do the same.
This statue is absolutely TACKY. Shows how IGNORANT Chicagoans are. Let Marilyn R.I.P. The persons who thought of this venture have no shame whatsoever. I want to barf at the Jap tourists taking pictures of "her" panties underneath of the statue. America has just stooped to a whole new low in the decadent age of the New Millenium.
Hey idiot. The people of Chicago didn't choose to put this statue out -- The realty agency that owns the property put it there. Strick9 -- you're an ignorameous!
Ignorant! Maybe you are. Why don't you go back to where you came from then. I lov the statue.
I'm from Chicago. I can see this statue out of my apartment window. It's really drawing crowds, but it is pretty cheesy. I'm waiting to see some idiot in YouTube film himself doing the nasty with it. I bet someone will. It is, however, getting people talking!
Did they get your number of toes right?
People will be forever fasinated with Marilyn Monroe. The statue was created to honor her and if anyone has read anything about her life and her as a person, you'd know that she would be extremely happy to know that, despite everything, she has not been forgotten.
