I just read that the giant Marilyn Monroe statue on Michigan Avenue is about to be moved to a new city, and will only be around for a few more days. Rick and I have walked past it several times, usually on our way home from Millennium Park or when we've been out wandering aimlessly on a weekend walk around the city. It's the famous "standing over a subway grate" pose:
And every time we walk past it, I say that I want to walk underneath it, so I can see if she's wearing underwear. (Oh c'mon -- you KNOW you want to know... I mean, she's like 30 feet tall -- does Victoria's Secret even carry her size?? And if she's not wearing underwear, what's going on under that dress? Is it like a smooth plastic Barbie doll? Or is it... uh... well, never mind, but you know you're curious, too, so just shut up...)
I guess, according to these guys in an AP news story photo, SOMEthing is going on under there:
But every time I say I want to walk underneath it, Rick tells me not to. I can't believe HE doesn't want to know what's going on within those flouncing fabric pleats... And now Marilyn is moving to a new city, so unless we take a walk over by Michigan Avenue within the next few days, I may never know for sure...
I guess Victoria can still keep a FEW secrets...

Ha, ha, I think the first thing I would have done is walk underneath and have a look, even though Marilyn is really not my type. ;)
You know Rick wants to walk under it, too. He just doesn't want anyone to see him do it. Maybe you guys should go over at night and take a flashlight. :-)
This would be the ultimate application of the National Enquirer's old catch phrase back when they used to advertise on t.v.:
Inquiring minds want to know.
Sorry to spoil everyone's daydreams, but it's granny panties.
