Marilyn was perfect!

For our friend Gary's 80th, we wanted something special, and we couldn't have asked for more. Marilyn was sexy, racy, funny and totally in command! Gary was totally surprised and the party attendees were laughing, hooting, and totally entertained! Highly highly highly recommend!¡!!

Great job…..very entertaining.

Marilyn did a great job. She was a hit with the guests. Very pleasant and patient as we were running a little behind schedule.

What to expect

I will add a touch of sass and class to any event, whether it be a birthday party, corporate event, festival, fundraiser, or promotional appearance. I arrive beautifully dressed in a replica of the famous "Seven Year Itch" white subway dress and interact with guests using the voice and mannerisms of Marilyn Monroe.

For birthday parties, I always sing Marilyn's sultry, sexy version of "Happy Birthday." At any event I am booked for, you can request performances of the star's iconic songs. I currently perform "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend," "I Want To Be Loved By You," "My Heart Belongs to Daddy, and "Two Little Girls from Little Rock."

My event minimum booking is 1 hour, but I also perform 15-30 min singing telegrams that can take place at an event space, restaurant, or in your home. My singing telegrams are not just singing telegrams--they are a full-on interactive experience full of personalized touches, hilarious anecdotes, and quotes pulled directly from Marilyn Monroe's most iconic films that perfectly blend in to my witty banter with the guest of honor.

To make your event truly special I'm happy to offer the following services. Please feel free to request anything you don't see on the list.
~ Pose for photos (solo and with guests)
~ Emcee or host an event, to include introducing other performers and interacting with the audience between acts
~ Conduct a celebratory toast, either one from my collection with added personalized touches or one you provide (it will be memorized by me prior to delivery)
~ Cut and serve cake and other dessert items
~ Pour and serve champagne and other beverages

My quotes include travel fees and any additional items (balloons, flowers, etc) that may be requested.
