| Marilyn makes a comeback in Palm Springs |
Marilyn has arrived safely after a treacherous trip from Chicago's Pioneer Square on Michigan Av.
The over-the-top sculpture costs tens of thousands of dollars to be taken apart and transported from Chicago.
The icon's return is just in time for the August 5th commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Marilyn's death.
The most controversial part of the statue--her undergarments--can't be seen yet because the statue is blocked off by a fence, prohibiting gawkers from walking underneath her skirt.
We can thank Seward Johnson for constructing the 26-foot tall statue, which took several years to make.
You might wonder where the artist got the money for such a big project. The answer lies in his connection to the Johnson & Johnson empire.
