Marilyn Monroe - Classic Subway Grate Flying Skirt Shot





No subway grate here as this is Universal Studios Singapore :o))


This is no waxwork. She's real and a fantastic actress and impersonator.

I do get a kick out of this...Funny, though, no matter how good an impersonator, it never truly matches the real thing.

Please Fong let us in nto the secret behind the posing of this shot.
Perhaps this Marilyn, is just a superb Waxwork ??? But in any case, great picture and processing.
