beautilation: “I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were...

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene

"Every sane person with a functioning human heart feels pain for the unbelievable human suffering..."

“Every sane person with a functioning human heart feels pain for the unbelievable human suffering that is happening in Syria right now. But past experience shows that the U.S. is terrible at intervening in foreign affairs without causing additional problems that are often at least as bad as the events we tried to stop. I think this alone should counsel the U.S. against intervening in Syria. As the old saying goes, we shouldn’t forget history, lest we continue to repeat it.”

- Letters To My Country: Should The U.S. Intervene In Syria?

Read this whole piece. It’s fantastic, as is obvious from this quote alone.

I Was Detained and Interrogated at the Border for Carrying Condoms

I Was Detained and Interrogated at the Border for Carrying Condoms:

What do you do when you’re detained by powerful officials, everything you say is presumed deceptive, arbitrary “evidence” is held against you, and you’re treated like a moral deviant? And what if its 2013, you’re a woman, and the “evidence” is that you possess condoms? It happened three times in two weeks — being detained by U.S. border officials on my way to or through the States. “I could have you charged with being a working girl! The proof is right here!” All I could do is shake my head. This can’t be real.
