I'm wondering if the JFK Museum up in Boston may have bought the gown.

She was beautiful ... but above all she was magnetic in a way unmatched since. Somehow amplified in her feminine power. They coined a phrase for her, I think - "sex appeal". It must have been an elemental force to all the children of Depression and war.

She was beautiful, funny, easy, intelligent, worshipful, depressed -- almost everything a man could want. I am sure Jack had no unpleasant memories, and I suspect she was thrilled. She had affairs and marriages with some remarkable men. It makes me happy that Jack and Marilyn met and made love at least a little while before both of them died much too young.

<<<except I don't have a good feeling about Kennedy and Marilyn, because I feel as though... well, that it was he who was being bad, and what she was being was something else, and it was not cute, it was more like used.>>> Yep. You're right. I conveniently forget that part, and what assholes those two must have been. Really. They were very bad. I think. They might not have been, but still, it seems that way. <<<Maybe it was just naughty fun for Jack and Marilyn; but her ending up dead makes it feel cold and sad to me.>>> I think just for Jack. Me, I ignore it. <<<Maybe I'm being hard and cynical.>>> Forget that part. I picture her as a singular person who should have had life treat her better. Still full of potential. Like, iffn she'd been with eight year old me.
