The author of the sketch of the original ‘naked’ dress of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, fashion designer Bob McKee, was unhappy with the appearance of Kim Kardashian

Marilyn Monroe dress designer slams Kim Kardashian. The author of the sketch of the original "naked" dress of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, fashion designer Bob McKee, was unhappy with the appearance of Kim Kardashian on the red carpet of the Met Gala. It is reported by Entertainment Weekly. "I think it was a big mistake," Mackey said in an interview with the publication. Marilyn was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. No one was photographed like her. And this dress was made for her. No one else was to be seen in it." McKee also shared historians' concerns that Monroe's dress may have been damaged by Kardashian wearing it. Usually, such rare things are stored in museums under glass. The dress for Marilyn Monroe was created in 1962 by Jean Louis. In it, she performed at the birthday party of President John F. Kennedy, performing the song Happy Birthday Mr. President. Fashion designer Bob McKee was only 23 years old when he sketched the dress under the guidance of designer Jean Louis. In 2021, he told Page Six, the Kardashians are very attractive, and some are very beautiful, but they are only famous for being famous. He continued: You know, he made a lot of money, so I guess he has something to say about it. A couple of them have really copied Cher's clothes just for the line, Bat for Bat, which is interesting. That's it, whatever. I did those [designs] so many years ago that I don't care if they are copied or anything. That's the decent thing to do, and it should end there.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al
