Born and raised in a small Texas town, she discovered the

glamour and pizazz of

old hollywood at the tender age of 8. Mesmerized by the MGM

musicals, she

developed a passion for classic cinema, and soon began idolizing

the male

and female film legends of yesteryear. Born a brunette, she

particularly

remembers being drawn to the blonde actresses, as in her young

mind,

their gleaming locks signified being a shining, electric star!

Although she

loved them all..Jean Harlow, Lana Turner, Betty Grable, Jayne

Mansfield

..one of them spoke to her in particular..Marilyn Monroe. She

recalls the first time she came across one of her movies on

tv..Some Like It Hot, and watched

the goddess in her rendition of "I Wanna Be Loved By You"

Seeing the way

she captured the audience with a perfect mix of approcable

innocence, and

sensuality, she instantlly became an idol of hers, and so began a

lifelong

admiration. At age 19, she began modeling in the syle of "neo-

pinup"

a modern version of the classic 1940's war time pinups, ala

Vargas and Elvgren. Still a brunette, she came to the conclusion

that something seemed

to be missing, and realized she had never quite overcome the

desire to have

platinum hair. A few bottles of peroxide later, the once raven

haired lass became

a blondie, and she hasn't looked back since! From the moment

she stepped out

with her new 'do, she was repeatedly stopped by excited

admirers who

commented that she looked exactly like the late Miss Monroe.

Extremely

flattered, and excited by the new look and admiration, she began

extensive

training to become a Marilyn Look-Alike and Sound-Alike. Some

people have

been known to say the resemblance with look and voice, is

simply "eerie" and

to her, that is the highest compliment an impersonator can

recieve! Several

performances later, she has created an intoxicating torch singer

style

performance of song and dance., Her show consists of live (no

lipsyncing)

singing, and lively audience participation.
