ONE PICTURE WORTH A 1000 WORDS / MARILYN AT MID-CENTURY



NOW THAT’S DECOR--This weekend in Borrego Springs there will be a tour of mid-century homes to embrace and reflect on a timeless architectural genre.  Although not in Borrego Springs, this circa 1952 by icon photographer Phillipe Halsman, shows another world icon--Marilyn Monroe--posed amid mid-century modern décor when it was current events not history.
