saddlebags Black will the 50's , Marilyn Monroe style work for me?
I am 13, long wavy black hair, brown skin, big cat shaped brown eyes, and curvy (36-26-37...but 38 around my saddlebags!!!! )
Do you think the style would work for me, and what makeup and clothes style should i wear, what colours and styles would suit me?
I think anyone can pull off Marilyn Monroe's style! It's 50% appearance and 50% bombshell posture.
Part of Marilyn's sex appeal lied in her jaw-dropping curves. She often accentuated them with high-waisted, curve-hugging pencil skirts and dresses, fitted, tailored suits and fitted sweaters.
Stop Staring clothing makes a fabulous fitted, high-waisted pencil skirt. As does Mode Merr. If you want to replicate Marilyn's look, a few high-waisted pencil skirts are a must-have in your wardrobe. Stop Staring also makes a ton of curve-hugging retro dresses.
You might be a little too young for tailored suits, but if you're interested, check out the vintage clothing section of ebay for some great finds.
Ebay also is a great source for fitted crop sweaters (like Marilyn wore with her pencil skirts) or you can try your local vintage clothing store or online vintage stores.
As for makeup, Marilyn's look was for the most part pretty basic. Most of the emphasis was placed on the eyes and the lips. Red lipstick is a must. Besame Cosmetics is a vintage-inspired makeup company that has a re-creation of Marilyn's red lipstick called "Red Hot Red."
On her eyes, Marilyn wore a beige/champagne color all over her lid and up to her eyebrow, then used a soft brown/taupe in the crease - but not heavily. And then, of course, her trademark black winged eyeliner (which is easily achieved by using a gel eyeliner - like MAC's Fluidline in "Blacktrack" and an angled brush) and lots of black mascara.
For bombshell posture (and by posture, i mean the way you carry yourself, not how straight you stand), check out Laren Stover's book, "The Bombshell Manual of Style." It's a great read and covers every aspect of the 1950s bombshell's life.
I think it's great that you want to embrace the classic Marilyn Monroe look. We need more of us girls around! I hope this has helped! Have fun and good luck!

Can you use shoe polish on saddlebags?
The leather saddlebags on my husbands bike turned green. Would shoe polish stain it back to black or is there something else out there we could use?
Shoe polish would only hide the greed temporarily. A better choice would be using saddle soap to clean it. Then if it is stained use some acetone to remove old dye and re-dye it.
If you are unsure of this check with your local cobbler (shoe maker). He will usually be more than happy to help explain it and he should have the items you need in stock.
