What Would Marilyn Monroe Tweet About? #wwtt

An article by Ayelet Noff    2 Comments

Twitter obviously didn’t exist when Marilyn Monroe was around but it appears that Marilyn is still tweeting. Perhaps like Elvis, she is still alive. Whether it’s from Marilyn Monroe’s most famous impersonator @suziekennedy who tweeted ““there’s a girl in london pretending to be me” or @MarilynMonroe herself, it appears that The Blonde One still lives.

Of course, Marilyn may be the original Blonde 1.0 but she wasn’t always blonde as @MeganWilloughby points out in her tweet “Just finished filming Monkey Business. I wonder what people will think when they see me as a platinum blonde?”

Some results were pretty ordinary. @LiviuLica had this to say “I guess it would be – “It sure was windy today”"

Other tweets really showed some Marilyn Monroe knowledge like this one from “@katchja: I wanna twit with you, just you and nobody else but you…” Another interesting one was from @sageeb “What do I take to bed? Why, Twitter, of course. ~ @MrsMiller“

Some contestants referred to Twitter itself.

Start up @6rounds referred to author and confidant in writing “Henry miller writes my tweets.” Osherlana doesn’t think diamonds are a girls best friend but rather something else when tweeting “Tweeters are a girl’s best friend.”  Marilyn impersonator @suziekennedy gets in an unofficial entry with a missing hashtag and asks  “are diamonds really a girls best friend ? ” Personally, I think a girl can have both her diamonds and twitter. Another unofficial entry: “@dotmad “how about “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”?”

@ahoova expresses her views on men and Twitter when she tweets “Twitter is fickle and I know it. It has its compensations, but it also has its drawbacks and I’ve experienced them both.” With the same man-Twitter theme @Vearor tweets “‘Now what man will go best with this outfit?’”

What do you think of the tweets? Could you have done it better? If so, leave your comments and post on Twitter with the hashtag #wwtt. And, remember, this contest will be a weekly occasion, so what famous – real or fictional – character should tweet next week?
