Apparently somebody took the phrase “beauty is more than skin deep” a little too literally…

All Sunday I would ask my friends if they wanted to see an amazing Marilyn Monroe chest shot. And then I would follow up with “isn’t she chesty” ;) and I was using a great high resolution photo from the auction page. Easy to save and one could duplicate it on a transparency and frame it if they soo wished.
