I don't know why, but bloomers have always set my pulse a-racing. You would think then that I would welcome the current fashion for wearing them as outerwear - not a bit of it: I want them to remain secret and special, not everyday and mundane - besides. I'm not sure my blood pressure would benefit from the sight of scores of lovely young women striding through the streets in bloomers.

On the bright side, the fashion pages are full of beautiful women sporting beautiful bloomers at the moment. Take this breath-taking pair for instance, time was, if I wanted to get my partner a pair like these, I'd have to order them handmade specially from an Etsy seller in Lithuania or Canada for a small fortune - now everybody seems to be selling them.

Filming took place at Costello's restaurant (sometimes referred to as Costello's Look Out House). The photographer was Ed Feingersh.

This series of pictures was taken for Redbook magazine. Feingersh accompanied the actress for a week to capture her "real" life in New York, away from the spotlight and Hollywood makeup.

However, the original photo series, taken by Ed Feingers in March 1955, was in black and white. This version is a modern digital coloring book.

The lip print on a paper napkin is a real trace of Marilyn Monroe lipstick.Marilyn often left such prints when she dabbed her lips after applying makeup. Similar napkins and scraps of paper with Monroe's lip prints later became collectibles and were sold at auctions for tens of thousands of dollars.

In the original black-and-white image, this print looks just like a dark spot, but in this colorized version, it has been restored to its characteristic red color.
