An Unusual Piece of Memorabilia

Today’s recommendation from “My Secret 7” favourites is quite bizarre. That’s what I love about it…

This icon is “Number 5” in our “Top 30 Sellers” index.

Men wanted to look after her… Women wanted to look like her. She was uniquely feminine and sold herself to the world.

Marilyn Monroe’s Hair

Image: MONROE, MARILYN


A fantastic and unusual piece of memorabilia. A hair (approx. 10mm) which was part of a lock cut from the head of Marilyn Monroe by her hairdresser Robert Champion, who cut many stars' hair such as Judy Garland and Maria Callas.

Mr. Champion of Arden Studios in Miami Beach was Monroe's personal hairdresser who had collected many other Monroe related items, this being his prize possession.

The item comes together with a 10x8" photograph of Monroe and copies of contemporary newspaper articles of Robert Champion with Monroe and a signed statement from Champion. Mounted, framed and glazed together with a photograph.

Price: £495 (SPECIAL OFFER PRICE: £445)
Stock code: 53704P

The presentation of this item is truly stunning. The piece comes with a fantastic photo of Marilyn in a perfectly alluring pose.

The proof of authenticity to source means you know that you are getting the real deal – Marilyn Monroe’s DNA available for you to take home. It really is an awe inspiring thought, don’t you think?

Her sad early demise merely increased our love for a truly unique creation. She had a miserable life in many ways but made so many of us happy. She knew what she was and summed it up best with her famous quote:

“I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

She was very profound and not deserving of the label “dumb blonde”. She made us laugh, she made us cry. There was something indefinably special about her.

Now you can own a piece of her life forever.
