My Submission to the Marilyn Monroe Look-A-Like Mail ART CALL

[goopmailart]

Helene And Jessie, Toronto, 1988 ( FROM: GOOP MAIL ART )

My roommate Jessie decided she would enter the Marilyn Monroe look-a-like

contest one night way back in 1988. We we’re living in a big loft in downtown

Toronto right in the middle of all the noise and fun of a big city. Our friend Jano,

fabulous hair dresser and living in our stairwell at the time, transformed Jessie

into Marilyn.

We took a streetcar to ‘Buddies In Bad Time’ theatre for the event. Jessie made a scene on the streetcar by sitting on any man’s lap who would have her.

Once at the theatre we soon realized Jessie was going to win without any trouble. Her only competition was a 6 foot, 250 pounds  transvestite.

Jessie got on stage and sang ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ and 200 gay men went wild.

Jessie won and we drank and danced away the night.

Marilyn Monroe Died August 5 1962. How do you remember her? Please  send your art to:
