Dojo 19,365 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 1. Marilyn Monroe  2. Princess Diana  3. Britney Spears  Gaga's latest statement about how patriarchy and capitalism destroy women made me think about this 3 legends. Also i would like to add that i'm not using the term "tragic blonde" in an offensive way. But her stories are quite similar in terms of fame and mental health struggles. I sympathize with the 3 of them of course but mostly with Marilyn because her childhood was super unstable and she lived in a time when mental disorders where even more misunderstood than now. The meds that were given to her were horrible and actually made her condition even worse. I feel hopeful that Britney is the modern blonde icon that could actually end up with a happy ending.

HuffsAhoy 7,433 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Britney is the only one whom I have real sympathy for since she's the only one of the three that I've grown up with. I remember hearing about Diana's death as a kid but I was too young to really grasp the impact her death had on the world. You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

Bling 31,292 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Definitely Marilyn because the pressures of fame drove her to su*c*de. Can you imagine how much worse women were treated back then?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,774 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It's a hard choice but I think Diana because she really didn't know what she was getting into when she got married. Britney knew what was happening, even if she wasn't in control and Marilyn was very aware of her charms and where they could get her. But Diana went into all this truly expecting love and was lied to and deceived every step of the way and because of the institution she was in, couldn't easily get out or even publicly complain about it. 40 minutes ago, WheresMy911Alice said: Definitely Marilyn because the pressures of fame drove her to su*c*de. Can you imagine how much worse women were treated back then?! And many of us believe that all signs point to her actually being murdered instead. The chief leading the case even said at the time that this was the most staged-looking suicide he'd ever seen and declared it was a murder. But he's dead now and almost everyone who was there that night is too, so we'll probably never know the truth. But there's so many signs that point to this being a planned hit.

CautiousLurker 19,251 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I think I'd have to say Marilyn because out of the 3 she fascinates me the most, and I think unlike the other 3, there wasn't really any recontextualization of her work until after she died... While we're on the subject, BKR did a good video dissecting her last finished movie and giving a glimpse of how Marilyn was treated behind the scenes   It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Hamon 6,414 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Brit, she was placed into it as a kid. Also cause she's the one who was threaten with loosing her kids. Diana could divorce and she did, her custody was beyond her control for 13 y. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
