Barter Books...

In a quick follow up to the last post, it turns out LMD Terri is quite the regular at Barter Books! She says it's a wonderful place to visit, with a roaring fire and lovely coffee & cake. Those of you in the north of England... give it a visit. Or maybe you've already been? Here are a few of her pictures...

Keep Calm and Carry On: The Story

A Twitter pal of mine, Jordan Waller, posted this on his blog today. You may already know that the poster was never officially used during the war, but this video goes into a bit more detail and includes footage of Barter Books, where the poster was hidden and eventually discovered. Enjoy!

More Marilyn

To commemorate the 50 year anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, the Getty Images Gallery in London are showcasing the 'Marilyn' exhibition. The amazing display of memorabilia will include original dresses and costumes (how exciting!) as well as an array of wonderful photographs.

"'Marilyn' will include imagery from Monroe's early years as an aspiring actress through to her rise to international stardom. Accompanying the photographs will be original film costumes and dresses from the legendary collection of David Gainsborough Roberts, owner of one of the largest collections of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia in the world."

We'll most definitely be going! If you're in London, you can see the exhibition from March 5th - May 23rd 2012.
