Marilyn Monroe once said that she was able to become 'her' whenever she wanted; "her", was, of course, the gorgeous, sensuous movie star side of her, the often-photographed, imitated and adored goddess of the silver screen. Most of the time, Marilyn was really just Norma Jean Baker, a serious girl who wanted to be a serious actress, but when she wanted to become Marilyn, it was like she just flipped a switch. She knew how to smile, how to accentuate her luscious curves ,how to use facial expressions and a casual flip of her hair to become playful and innocent all at once. She knew how the curve of a wrist or a glance from beneath lowered lashes could drive men wild and make them fall in love with her. This art of the feminine seems sadly lost these days, replaced by over-the-top sexuality from models who seem bored or cynical or both. Happily our lovely model Peach knows how to be flirty and sensual, a modern day Marilyn who knows that sometimes less can indeed be more. Oo la la!
