    Seems to me like Marilyn Monroe’s birthday is some time in June.

    The French are glad to die for love.
    They delight in fighting duels.
    But I prefer a man who lives
    And gives expensive jewels.
    A kiss on the hand
    May be quite continental,
    But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    A kiss may be grand
    But it won’t pay the rental
    On your humble flat
    Or help you at the automat.

    Men grow cold
    As girls grow old,
    And we all lose our charms in the end.

    But square-cut or pear-shaped,
    These rocks don’t loose their shape.
    Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    Tiffany’s!
    Cartier!
    Black Starr!
    Frost Gorham!
    Talk to me Harry Winston.
    Tell me all about it!

    There may come a time
    When a lass needs a lawyer,
    But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    There may come a time
    When a hard-boiled employer
    Thinks you’re awful nice,
    But get that ice or else no dice.

    He’s your guy
    When stocks are high,
    But beware when they start to descend.

    It’s then that those louses
    Go back to their spouses.
    Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    I’ve heard of affairs
    That are strictly platonic,
    But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    And I think affairs
    That you must keep liaisonic
    Are better bets
    If little pets get big baguettes.

    Time rolls on,
    And youth is gone,
    And you can’t straighten up when you bend.

    But stiff back
    Or stiff knees,
    You stand straight at Tiffany’s.

    Diamonds! Diamonds!
    I don’t mean rhinestones!
    But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

    I love the class room composition in the first panel.

    And the Coffee Turtle response is awesome

    This morning’s (June 3) news reported on some newly discovered 1950 photos of MM, apparently from a Life magazine cover shoot that was never used.

    After Marilyn’s 1962 death the writer Ayn Rand wrote a tribute that still resonates:

    wow. That may be the only Rand piece I’ve ever read with which I have no argument.

    Daddy needs a beer.

    Hey, at least he didn’t associate “Monroe” with the vacuum-head character played by Jim Bullock on Too Close For Comfort.

    (of course, to define a “doctrine” based on that Monroe would be a serious challenge)
