myself decided to start doing Make-up and Photography. I came up with the idea of doing “Pin-Up” style Make-Overs and I did a lovely Make-Over for “Hannah Murrey”, from “Talk Radio”, and on many friends.

I met “The Rat Pack Live” one night at “The Polo House”, and I asked them if I could photograph them and they agreed. When they came for the photo shoot, my husband told me to show them my impression of “Marilyn Monroe”. They liked it and said I could sing with them at their next show. I’ve worked with them many times and they advised me on what equipment to get and tricks of the trade. We are really good friends with them and their families now.

I hope to be a Marilyn Tribute for many years. I’ve put together my own show and I do many Birthday parties. I’ve sang all over the coast.

I really love being Marilyn. I had really long hair and had to wear a wig at first but it didn’t look real in photos so I cut my hair short to be Marilyn full-time. I found it difficult to buy costumes to fit me (as I’m very curvy) so my hubby bought me a sewing machine and I taught myself to sew. I buy Vintage sewing Patterns from the Internet and make all my own clothes.

I’ve often been called a dumb blonde but in my model days I took an IQ test and I’ve got an IQ of 148.

Things I love: Cats (I’ve got 2), Barbie dolls (I’ve got 100s), Horror Movies.
