Hearing Kim Kardashian talking about how " if anyone were to take the best care of this dress and understand the importance of it , it would be me " was pretty nauseating . Shame on her and everyone involved who allowed it .
@ExitScreaming…well, we know that for the lie that it is because if she truly knew or cared anything for such a historic dress, she could have just worn the dress she had made as a replica of Marilyn’s dress and bragged about being “inspired” by Marilyn’s iconic look. Instead she tried stuffing her fat ass into a dress that did not fit her and now the dress is completely ruined. The material that the dress is made of would have been very fragile just from its age. The dress should have never been loaned out for one of the Kartrashians to wear but we live in a day and age where having enough money can buy you almost anything and class and morals are quickly disappearing.
If Marilyn had a daughter I could understand her wearing it, but a narcissistic air head. I'm over it.
But Kim k made the dress look so beautiful! Kk is the most beautiful woman on this planet and of ALL time
If she really cared about it she would not have worn it.
Her stench will forever be in that dress
Kim wearing Marilyn's dress never should have happened. Major disrespect to Marilyn.
@Gen X ~ Fem ~ 78 I think you missed the point by a mile. And it's Miss Monroe to you, not "Marilyn." Show some respect yourself, junior.
@Gen X ~ Fem ~ 78 Obviously you know nothing of her life. I refer you to Joyce Carol Oates's opus, BLONDE, which has been turned into a recent independent film. By your comment, I must gather that Monroe wasn't--by your insane standards-- a "real woman"? Then what WAS she? People like you express little interest in or awareness of American history--except when it suits you--so buzz off, little bottlefly. You clearly also know nothing of American iconography, Warhol, pop art in general, or anything else about art, for that matter. Sad. I really hit a nerve, REAL WOMAN. Do you perform nightly at the Gay 90s?
Exactly
Who cares
It was impossible NOT to damage a custom made dress that old, and made out of a very delicate material. KK is well known for doing anything for publicity, so the responsibility really falls on the museum for allowing the destruction of something that is basically an artifact of US history
It was a special silk created to cling/drape and be see through. I saw a program that said they can not recreate it anymore as the formula they bonded to the silk has been lost.
That damage to the straps will be the most difficult repair as they will need to recreate and integrate in new material. Too bad they didn't think ahead and do more reinforcement of those most delicate seams as some extra binding tape could have easily been removed after the event.
@@ydne ...Or think ahead and not let her touch it. AT ALL.
I don't know how they can launder it. It will probably rot now that it has Kim's sweat on it!
They should have never allowed anyone to wear the dress. It was Marilyn's Monroe Happy Birthday Mr. President dress and left alone as part of history. The darn entitled elite strike again. To damage what doesn't belong to them. May every dress she wears from now on tear while wearing it.
Antique fabric is so fragile; I can’t believe they would stuff her into that delicate treasure. And then they didn’t repair the damage? Just let all the beads pop off and the fabric to rip to shreds. I’m actually disgusted.
It was made from a fabric called souffle, which I'm not sure is even made anymore.
@@susanmacdonald4288 that sounds delicious. You know a lot about this beautiful dress.
@@thehappyplace4u I love film costuming, and I read about this dress. Souffle is a silk gauze or net, and used a lot to create a nude effect. And it is a stunning dress, at least on the woman that it was created for.
It’s disgusting that that nasty person called Kim had the audacity to compare or even think she is even close to being that special to wear a dress from the women who are truly amazing. Kim Kardashian is a pig. Simple as the day is long. No comparison. RIP Marylin Monroe.
@@susanmacdonald4288 delicious! Film costumes are amazing!
The even more dumb thing about it is how Marilyn's dress was custom for her skin tone, that's why it looked so good. Kim is not the same skin tone. She should have had a replica made in HER skin tone to have the same effect, it still would've been an homage to Marilyn. Shame on Ripley's for allowing this.
Very good point and goes against the entire purpose of bespoke(custom) clothing or shoes. It is so you get a perfect fit for you here not only that rather in addition the color was also bespoke to the wearer. The original wearer.
Exactly , were they really that desperate for publicity ?
I agree, shame on you Ripley
Yes, I said the same thing about the skin tone. Kim would have looked beautiful in a custom replica and kept her hair dark.
Ripley made a fortune letting Kim wear it….K’s can buy anything with their fortune no matter the damage involved….
I felt the same way. I kept asking “who does she think she is?!” It’s comparable to someone thinking they could wear Princess Diana’s wedding dress. It is just disrespectful.
Don't give her ieas. lol :)
What was that museum thinking of? Kim has a totally different body shape to Marilyn. Her backside is huge. As for Diana's wedding dress she couldn't get her body into it even if she was allowed, which she would never be. Diana was a young, slim English woman. Totally the opposite to Kim K.
Except Diana was a respectable woman, while Marilyn was a druggie who went after married men...... who disrespected Jackie Kennedy, by
lustily singing to her husband in front of the world!
Don’t worry, the British royal family would not allow that to happen neither would the Spencer family.
No Hollywood narcissist is ruining that stuff
I totally agree with you. No respect.
I used to work for a heritage foundation. A 20th century dress was donated to us and we passed it on to our heritage superintendency where it was cleaned and restored. Some years later the daughter in law of the person who donated it asked the superintendency to borrow the dress for a special party and the superintendency very politely refused. They asked the lady to go to see the dress and they explained how it was restored and how fragile it was. The lady understood and agreed that it should not be worn again. The dress was nowhere as expensive or iconic as the Marilyn one but the superintendency stuck to its guns as history should be preserved as best as possible.
Her being able to wear that dress, was an absolute slap in Marilyn’s face. Thank you for taking us around Ripley’s. Absolutely enjoyed it!
It's incredibly sad that Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress was allowed to be damaged & defaced to become one of the K's numerous, barf worthy publicity stunts.
Shame on them, and shame on all who allowed it to happen.
Agree 100%. That dress should have never been allowed to be worn by anyone. Hollywood has sunken to a new low.
Why would anyone think that it was OK to let a untalented fake "star" wear this iconic dress.
@M P hilarious!!!!!
I can’t believe they allowed ANYONE to wear one of Marilyn Monroe’s dresses 🤬🤬
Exactly!!! NO one should have ever worn it.
No one should never be allowed to wear Marilyn's dress. Not ever not anything of hers. No respect for. Marilyn. I don't care who you are. I blame the person who let kk wear it.
It is a dress. What do you want? For it to dissolve into nothing? So absurd.
The fact that that woman had to basically starve herself to get into the dress and still could not even get it closed debunks the misnomer that Marilyn was "big". Maybe by standards 60 years ago, but she was actually tiny. That size 16 bathing suit is equivalent to a size 6 by current day measurements.
Nah, if Kim didn’t have a fake butt I’m sure she would’ve fit
As an MM collector/fan for 40 years, I was appalled that KK wore her dress. I don't care who you are. No one should have worn that dress nor should anyone in the future. The damage is irreversible and the dress is irreplaceable. To think it was safe all these years only to be ruined for one person's vanity and because they have more money than they know what to do with. Thank you Jordan for showing the world the damage. I just pray it never happens again. The last person that should have worn it should have stayed MM. Love you Jah!❤
I saw parts of the Gala and Kim K in the dress, she wore the wrap to cover the damage to the dress and there was laceing where the zipper is now because she could not get her big behind in it. I was totally shocked that she would alter such and iconic piece of Marilyn history. People with money and fame think they can do as they please.
Her fake big behind at that
@@BlueLineChop 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂YEP
I don’t mean to say anything bad but I’m sorry she’s a little vulgar with all the fake behind stuff to ever attempt to get her fake behind in that dress !!! Lol
You think ANY of the Kardashians give a toss about history?
Because of a unnatural a*s
Thank you, Jordan, for this video! What a disgrace letting KK wear Marilyn’s dress. Disgusting. It can’t be as valuable now. Marilyn is no longer the last person to wear this dress and it just makes me sick.
Protental value lost too. That dress would have only gone up in value. 😔
Sad
💯👍
Well if auctioned then all of these people who love KK might pay to have the dress .Idk why.
The Kardashians have no respect
I was fortunate enough to actually see this dress before its 1999 auction in New York City. It was sold by "anonymous telephone bid" for $1.5 million dollars. Marilyn paid $12,000 to have it custom made in 1962. No photographs could do it justice. It's basically panty hose material covered in crystals, not rhinestones. And she wore no undergarments beneath it! But, at nearly $5 million dollars, it is definitely NOT the most expensive dress ever auctioned. That honor also goes to a Marilyn Monroe costume...the $45 white halter dress that flutters up over the subway grate in 1954's "The Seven Year Itch", then purchased by Debbie Reynolds for her defunct Las Vegas "Hollywood Museum", sold for a whopping $6.5 million dollars!!! That technically almost got poor Debbie out of her $7 million dollar debt brought on by 3 money-grubbing husbands...
Wow. Thank you for sharing. We have to protect the white $45 dress with our lives now lmfao
Let's not forget, she erased Marilyn's DNA off that dress, and put her sweaty DNA in its place, I was sick about this, she's vile
She can only dream of being on Marilyn's level.
Yes. I felt embarrassed watching KK wear that dress.
I can't believe she got her fat ass in it.
@@pommiebears I didn't even know she wore it. I could care less about the stupid Kardashians personally. She's no Marilyn!
I don't understand the connection she seems to think there is because there isn't any. Oh yeah did everyone hear the size of Marilyn's bikini size 14, and didn't KK say she had to lose weight to fit into that gown, and she still didn't fit for all the damages done . She should have to pay for it plus interest. Positively just a way to get attention, and so pathetic to boot, that was real fabric not spandex or knit like what kk wears. Keeping the fossil fuel companies $$ rolling in 🤢🤢🤮🤮.
I did as a child!
I feel EXACTLY how you do about the dress Jordan. It's pure insanity, that they allowed it. Her measurements aren't even close to Marilyn's. It's ruined. Tarnished if you will, by a Kardashian no less. Makes me livid
The kk is no where as endowed as m.m. some.
@@sandybird5785 their busts are very similar but KK rump is MUCH larger and it is why she was unable to zip it, and work a fur to cover it. That's where the majority or the damage to the dress is reportedly
@@netaspalding8453 ~ I know & it's both nauseating & infuriating! I don't know what in the world they were thinking allowing anyone to wear this dress! Absolutely disgusting!
@@sandybird5785 The fraying on the straps says to me that her torso and armscye measurements are larger than Marilyn's and put way too much stress on the garment.
The stench of her big rear end forever on that chiffon
Thank you Jordan for speaking your mind on how everyone feels about KK wearing and ruining Marilyn's dress. It makes me sick, I hope people take note of this so NOTHING like this happens again.
I'm with you Jordan. Makes me sick to my stomach, too. I cannot believe they let her wear that iconic dress. They, along with her, should be ashamed of themselves! Classless......totally. Thank you for taking us along with you, I wanted to see the damage also. Stay safe out there, Lion!
Hi Jordan!! Way to call out the disrespect with Marilyn's dress. Kim is so waaaaaaay out of Marilyn's league!! What next one of Princess Diana's dress???Kim will be known as the one who damaged this dress!
Diana's gowns that were auctioned off have been worn. However, those people bought those gowns unlike Kim.
Kim should wear one of Harrys wifes dresses- but Harrys wife makes the Kartrashians look classy :)
@Beth Pitsor oh that stuff already done to many of Diana’s dresses that were sold at auction so long ago. These rich Texas women bought some and told story on the news. They had worn them!!
Several of the women had to since sell the dresses and the story detailed they did not get as much as they had hoped.
@@MTknitter22 Dianas dresses are awesome- and so was Diana- but they are not as important as the MM dress. Marilyn was a talented, shining star. Diana was a lovely lady and it was very sad when she died. From a US point of view- there is no comparison. Marilyn is supreme. I would rather see a Kartrashian wearing Dianas entire wardrobe - if it meant Marilyns Dress could remain intact. The MM dress is of huge cultural and Historic importance.
Kim Kardashian could and should wear any dress she wants. Clothes is just rags and cloth until a Kardashian wears it! Kim k is a fashion icon! Fashion meant nothing in the industry till kim came along! She is a legend! She is an icon! She is a role model to young girls everywhere! And she looked like a walking angel in that dress ♥️
Totally agree with what Jordan said about NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED to wear her dress.
AGREE TOO 👍
Hopefully kk gets haunted now lmfaoo
I can't believe that dress was lent to anyone, never mind that woman. We don't have stars anymore, just people who want their 15 minutes, and they will do anything to get it. Shame.
It upsets me that someone other than Marilyn wore this dress. It should have been left as a museum piece. Period!
The dress should have been preserved and protected and not trusted to trash to garner another moment of undeserved attention.
AMEN!!!! TRASH IS SOO RIGHT!!
Absolutely. And in doing so, Kardashian directly compared herself to Marilyn Monroe. Not smart!
So, not only should did she show that she has absolutely no appreciation for history, she also compared herself to one of the most beautiful women who ever lived and turned out looking like a basic classless fool
When you think of people like Todd Fisher, Catherine Hicjkand and Debbie Reynolds taking the time, energy and money to preserve Hollywood history, the misuse of Marilyn's dress makes me ill.
and no one wanted to open Debbie’s museum 😭💔
I can’t believe that trash was allowed to wear such a treasured piece of history! Makes me sick!!
Thank you for showing us the wonder of Ripley's, and the real damage to the dress.
THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED PERIODE ! Shame on the Kardashians!
Shame on Ripley's
They don't feel shame
I really can't believe that somebody actually allowed Kim Kardashian to wear that dress, they should have told her NO right in front of that girls face! Now, she ruined a beautiful dress. Kim should pay for the damages she had done to the dress!
It's not going to matter anymore since Marilyn wasn't the last one to wear it.
Kim K. destroyed a priceless part of history. Hearing her voice sickens me. There is no justificatition for what Kim K. did.
I’m sure the age of the dress makes it even more delicate and was even more of a reason to leave it be. That dress was simply made for one woman; Marilyn.🌹
What Kim (and her overwhelming narcissism) did was sickening. Fray on that kind of material is a death sentence. I cannot fathom the level of stupidity it would take to sign off on letting her wear that, but evidently there is someone out there that moronic and mercenary. No conservator worth anything would ever allow such a thing. For historical garment preservation, the whole situation is a nightmare.
The Dress is a historical artifact that belongs to the American People as an icon of both Marilyn and Kennedy. It looked distorted on Kardashian..
Yes & Kim K belongs to the at home porn industry.
Everything looks distorted on KK with that huge butt! But, yes I see what you mean.
What was the point of paying $5 million dollars for an iconic dress and then letting the likes of Kim Kardashian wearing it. Might as well put it on a rack in JC Penny now!!!
For someone who in the past , made such a big deal about her derriere and hip size, this woman should NOT have been allowed to wear this beautiful, legendary dress. I don't give a flying "F" if she's rich and infamous (not famous in the least). This is Marilyn's dress and she should have been the only one to wear it.
Oh good grief. The Marilyn dress ordeal just made my stomach turn. Ugh. I had no clue this even happened. So gross. I don't even wanna write her name. She's a perfect example of a celebrity versus an actual STAR! Days of REAL stars, true icons of talent are long gone. I'm a little stunned. I cannot believe this actually happened. In my humble opinion, if this, ehem, K truly appreciated this dress/history, she'd never risk damage to it. Neither would those in charge of making the decision to loan it out to this person... *steps off soapbox, exits stage left*
Seriously, anyone looks at those butts knows they would ruin the dress.
@tinkles montoya they all get away with so much in Hollywood I mean the K's that it's ridiculous. I didn't understand the whole story about the dress until I saw this, I can't believe they let her wear it either as much as she supposedly loves fashion she really disrespected Marilyn in my opinion.
But Kim Kardashians is an extremely talented celebrity. She is the most beautiful woman on this planet. She is a fashion icon. She is also a role model for young women and daughters of today’s society.
@@terrinew9474 completely agree. Good times 😊
@gbear........oh please!!!! Kim is nasty and a narcissist. NO talent!!
Kim K. should pay for the restoration of that dress - and it should never be worn by anyone, ever again. ✨
Except maybe a dummy of Marilyn, perhaps not even that.
I agree with you
Well the history is already gone. Even if they do pay to restore it,Marilyn wasn't the last one to wear it and that ruined the history of the dress !
Kim thought she deserved to wear the dress because shes had such a privileged life and gets whatever she wants. It’s disgusting they let her wear it and damage it just for PR.
What's unbelievable is that they would let ANYONE wear that dress. How did Kim Kardashian get that privilege? Money folks, money!
That is just awful that they would allow a "I'm just famous for my sex tape" person wear this iconic dress. I'm glad I saw it when I did in St Augustine FL 3 years ago at Ripley's.
That dress is an iconic piece of history and should have never been worn!
I didn't know that about Kim wearing and ruining one of Marilyns famous dresses.
That is so sad & heartbreaking.
It's forever ruined, now.
I never cared for any of the " Ks " such terrible human beings, especially now!
Thank you Jordan for this vlog. ❤️
So sad that they let Kim wear Marilyn's acconic dress!! That something that she should of been ashamed to wear knowing it's priceless and was there for long lasting memories of Marilyn fans!!!! Now it looks like it shouldn't be on display at all!! Thank You for taking the time to show it to us!! It's sad what money can do sometimes!! 😓😓😓
They should have let her wear the replica dress if they were going to let her wear either one. Marilyn's dress is an iconic piece of American and Hollywood history and should be treated as such! Such a shame that so much damage was done to that gorgeous gown for some rich lady's whim!
I agree - she has the money to have created a replica of the dress.
@@UnBoxLifeWithLori she did have a replica recreated. And then wore it afterwards! What an a-shole!
She probably did pay them to wear it
She`s no lady.
She did wear the replica she had made after she wore (shredded) the original into the gala. I don't understand why she had to wear the orginial except for the fame of it. The older she gets the more she has to grab attention. What's next, the blood splattered suit Mrs Kennedy was wearing when her husband was shot ?
If Todd Fisher had that dress no one would have worn it. He understands preservation. I'm glad Debbie didn't see this happen.
He was appalled she wore the dress
@@DazewithJordantheLion When I heard about KK wearing the dress I thought about Debbie. I'm so glad Debbie was the one who managed to save most of the Hollywood memorabilia. She understood preservation and would never have let that happen to any of Marilyn Monroe's dresses.
I was just thinking the same thing. It's too bad Marilyn Monroe did not have a loving family. Todd Fisher and his wife Kat have done a great job with his mother's (Debbie Reynolds ) collection and belongings.
Debbie would have been livid!
Marilyn Monroe’s derrière measurement was 34 inches. Depending on the source, Kim Kardashian's derrière measurement was 42 or 43 inches at the time she wore the dress. The eight or 9 inch difference would certainly cause damage. The fabric used for this dress is called soufflé, a woven silk from France. And yes, it is as delicate as the soufflé that is eaten.
My son just told me his hips are 42! Kim, buildt like a man. How did she think she wouldn't ruin it with that fat rear end
42 or 43? I'm shocked! I would have guessed a triple digit number!
No one else should ever have been allowed to wear that dress in the first place. Who decided to let her wear it?
Thanks for sharing this video. It's the best footage showing the damage I've seen so far. Ripley's and KK can say whatever they want about the dress and it "not being damaged," but photos and video tell the truth.
Agreed . The camera does not lie , it is upsetting to see the damage to Marilyn's dress , and it was all avoidable . Shame on Ripleys for allowing Marilyn Monroe's beautiful dress to be worn .
And just think of the cooties from KK's skanky bod. Eeww!
I am surprised they would let anyone else wear that dress. Thank you, Jordan.
I enjoyed this video vedy much. So many interesting things to see! Thanks again Jordan, and continued success 🌞
Who allowed her to have the dress? I would think it would be secure in a museum. Whoever authorized this is to blame.
I totally agree with your opinions about MM's dress! I am still angry that they let KK wear it! (Or anyone for that matter.) It should have only been Marilyn that wore it!
Well if thats the case, I want to borrow an outfit of Michael Jackson's. I wonder if they'll let me???
Jordan, I appreciate your sincere outrage over the tragic misuse of this iconic gown. It really is a shame that someone who's famous for nothing of note was allowed to borrow it. I mean, really no one should have ever tried to wear it again - doesn't really matter who it was. But aside from that, another interesting blog, and thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to film and post- really enjoyed..it’s sad about the dress…it once was the dress worn by MM but now it will be known as the dress that KK tried to fit into and wrecked it…..and what for…just another event and another photo
The utter disrespect that dress went through makes me sick. The damage is heartbreaking. Kim K should have a replica made. Not to mention she lacks neither the class nor grace of Marylin Monroe to wear that dress.
Thank you Jordan and I agree with you. Kim K. should have never been allowed to wear such an iconic dress. What next- the Ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz? How about the Shroud of Turin? Or change the Mona Lisa to look like a Kardashian? Absolutely ridiculous. I would never support Ripleys after this.
I said the same thing about the Shroud of Turin before reading your post! Yes! Who can even relate to her thinking? The sense of entitlement is overwhelming.
Let's all (the whole world) blow up Ripleys e-mail about how disgusting this is!!!
Notice KK doesn’t mention MM. Its all about her and how it makes HER feel.
Kk is a goddess! If anything people should be talking about her. Even the dead celebrities. Kk is the most famous celebrity of all time. She is a social media sensation, a role model to little girls, and more than any old celebrity, she is a BOSS

This video was (thankfully!) in my suggestions. I so enjoyed the tour!! You have a very effervescent personality. I feel like I really did just visit the museum!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! You made me feel like I was there with you, and a wonderful a wonderful tour guide! ☺️
Someone in authority must have given Kardashian permission to wear Marilyn's special dress, WHY? I'll never know or even understand such a WRONG decision. None should have been allowed to wear it, it was Marilyn Monroe SPECIAL SPECIAL dress she had made for her appearance at JFK'S Birthday Bash. I'm so sad Ripley's has possession of MM's dress I don't care how much they paid for it. It should be in the Smithsonian for us who treasure Marilyn Monroe's memory and her impact on us. Something is lost now. If you're not a fan of MM you won't understand. Bad decision Ripley's! Boo Hiss!!!!
It is sickening how Ms. Kardashian said in the interview at 13:18, "I would take my time taking each step, in case a stone fell off, one would be right there to recover the stones." Where are the stones? Where was the stone wrangler? I thought Guinness was highly irresponsible in allowing a 4.8 million dollar dress to be worn by someone who, as I have observed, has a "devil may care attitude." Doesn't the damage devalue the dress?
If you ask me the fact that it was touched and worn by that type of person for a cheap Failed publicity stunt has devalued that dress forever. It is Tainted now.
Whoever the person was that let her put it on should've been fired! She's nobody as far as any talent or contribution to the world! What were they thinking, oh they weren't!
Gross liar!! With that valley girl accent
Yes, the damage devalues the dress tremendously. The dress may be able to be restored to a degree, but it would be painstaking.
Ew, dont say "Ms" like shes someone to be respected
Some of those Marilyn pieces were pretty invasive. That poor woman has been taken advantage of her whole life. Just sad 😔
OMGOSH! THANK YOU for the tour! So neat!!✨
Thank you for giving us the chance to see the dress up close. It is an historic item as it reflects the epoch of the Kennedy era - it is so sad it has been damaged.
I know nothing about sewing, dressmaking, or anything of that nature. Even my ignorant ass immediately knew that the Marilyn dress would be blown apart by KK's tank ass. How could anyone think that was a good idea?
Thanks for the tour. Next time I'm back in California I'll stop by to see it up close
The dress has sustained A LOT of damage! And, Kim is so cavalier about the "care" of the gloves worn, to put her into it, and the 16 lbs. she lost to "fit" into it--she STILL had to put her butt into it--TOTALLY disgraceful! Kim bleached her hair, but her coloration wasn't the same as MM. SAD, very sad!!
It must be a little strange being back. Thanks for taking us to see the dress. I once ruined a dress that was precious to my mum trying it on in my teens. Proportions were so different back then! Didn't they think to measure her before trying to fit 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound bag?! (The phrase I have always used in connection with my own mishap!) 😠
I agree sizes now are totally different than in the 50s and 60s. Her size 16 bikini is equal to a size 10 now. Marilyn wore equivalent of a 6-8 dress size now. I once tried on my mom's skirt the way they made skirts and dresses are totally different than now. Kim shouldn't have tried to squeeze into Marilyn's gown. Her figure doesn't come anywhere near Marilyn's figure.
My daughter in law ruined a pant suit of mine. She spilled gas on herself. Instead of going back to her place she came to mine. She said she wore a size 6 pant like me. I said are you sure. Well let's say she stretched the bottom so much I just gave her the pant suit and told her to keep it in the trunk of her car. Otherwise she can drive back to her house next time she has an accident.
This makes me so angry that Kim thinks she that important that she can do this to a iconic dress that was made to fit marilyns body her size and shape,Kim is completely different body size including her butt,SHAME ON YOU RIPLEYS for allowing that woman to wear the dress that should be kept safe in a museum its part of history not just for Kim to get photo opportunities to be centre of attention
The Smithsonian would have told her to "Get lost!!"...but cheap ass ripley's will do anything for attention, just like some low down people in this world.
Why was she allowed to wear the dress at all? She could easily afford a replica! Its a piece of history and should be treated as such. Thanks Jordan for another insightful video. 👏
I'm from Los Angeles and I never got a chance to go to Ripley's. Thank you so much for finally taking me inside I love you videos of Los Angeles it's nice to see what has happened to my home town especially as it seems that I keep getting further and further away when in reality all I want to do is get back to California thank you so much Jordan
I agree she should never of wore that dress, just to get more fame. Awesome video thanks 😊
It’s good to see you pumping up classic content in Hollywood again Jordan I feel your pain about Marilyn Monroe’s dress it is such a shame but may all these wonderful legends rest in peace much love
He's back, he's back, wow :) I was on California a few years back on a tour from pretty much top to bottom. When I was in Hollywood staying right close to the high school our time was fully planned so thanks for showing me all the things we didn't get to see :)
I feel and share your anger over that dress debacle. I'd rather see it burned than defamed by a Kardashian.
Some people have more money than brains and this situation proves it.
I actually got blocked by Ripley on Instagram for calling out the fact they allowed the dress to be ruined
Wow
@@DazewithJordantheLion yup, I went on Instagram and started calling them out in some of their posts (surprisingly enough there were a lot of angry comments, and some already said Ripleys deleted their comments) and I kept at it until they blocked me
" You thought to yourself...." Made me bust up laughing. Wasn't expecting that from you Jordan. Love ya, Dude. Lol
Thank you Jordan sweetie, for this vlog. I wish the KK's would disappear off the face of the earth, they are a disgrace to famous people with talent. Oh well. Your last frames, with Toney Bourdain and Amy Winehouse in the background was so moving to me. Amy had such a beautiful voice. I watched Tony's shows, and simply adored him because, just because I guess. I cried when he died. Thanks again Jordan. Nancy from Vandalia
Jusr can't believe how she screwed up Marilyn's dress I'm not a kim fan at all
I saw the dress for days in 1999 when it was first taken out of storage for the Christie’s Auction, it wasn’t damaged and very pale in color. Then I saw the dress again in 2016 before Ripley’s won it. It was a bit darker than 1999, but still intact. KK destroyed the dress because she is narcissistic. The fact that Ripley’s has KK’s voice being played over and over next to Marilyn’a dress is disgusting. Also, MM ‘s makeup box, Ripley’s added a box of Candy why??
Bar codes in the 50s? Don’t think so.
Yes, its GROSS to hear that woman's voice while you look at MARILYN"S dress...
Big fake cheesy museum, who knows what’s real in there
I was thinking the same thing about kk video. If I were to ever visit Ripley’s, seeing the dress wouldn’t be nearly as special as before and I sure as heck wouldn’t want to hear kk’s narcissistic voice playing in the background. 🤨
@@uhura472 l visited Ripley's in London (Piccadilly Circus) many years ago and they had a Marilyn section with that big, white cardigan she wore on the beach (shown in this video). They did not have the dress. I really did want to see the dress and planned to if ever l was in the US. But now? Forget it! That dress is ruined. It's basically damaged goods and l will never support Ripley's ever again. The Ripley's in Piccadilly Circus has closed now. Good.
Damage was done when Kim's energy wore it. Not to be mean to Kim, no one ever should of worn the dress
😭😡No words!! Thanks for the video and insight into this fascinating museum though Jordan, would love to see all this as Love Marylin. x
She should have never been allowed to wear this dress. The Kardashians just need to go away
I agree! Go away! Maybe they can all join the live on Mars program?
Why didn’t Kim just have a dress made similar that actually fit her. This is horrible that she actually was allowed to try and fit into a dress which is valued at so much and only tore it up in the end. Sad sad sad and shame on you Kim!!
She did have replica after she had walked the red carpet - so why didn’t she just wear that.
So happy to see your channels grown.
I saw Betty Boop a few times in places you go. She is my favorite lady. I own a collection of her and my 1970 chevy has her painted on both fenders, floor mats, door locks, and much more. I truly enjoyed the tour Jordan, Thank you~~~Sherry~~
When I saw the pics of KK at the gala, I didn't realize that she was wearing the EXACT dress that Monroe wore. SMH. Not the best idea. Delicate fabrics do not always age well. As we move, we stretch the fabric of our clothes, and no matter how restrained one tries to be, vintage dresses can give way at the seams and zipper areas. The value of the dress was not in the materials, but in the historicity; who wore it and when. That Monroe was the last to wear the iconic dress greatly contributed to its value, which is now reduced due to the alterations and another wearer, who may not be quite as iconic - even though some may disagree on that opinion.
She thought she was worthy enough to wear it! Wow, that’s entitlement
Exactly the issue Shirley.
It boggles my mind that they would actually allow that dress to be worn. Obviously it is old and is going to start coming apart.
I agree. Meant for Marilyn only. I have no idea they would allow desecration of a priceless and iconic piece of history. Shame.
Fabulous video Jordan. ❤️🐼❤️🐼❤️
Hugs to JAH. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🦴🐾🐾🐾
She wore that dress to say. "I'm Kim Kardashian and I can disrespect a legend and her dress". I have something else I'd like to say about her wearing this dress, but I respect Jordan and his channel too much to write it down here. I love the blue dress. So simple but so pretty at the same time. Thank you for showing us around the museum. I enjoyed it. Stay safe and take care.
that dress was like “get this fake cheap body out of me” and exploded
So true!!!!😂🤣😭
Lmao 🤣
Cool video! I subscribed! You are such a good tourist!
I love how passionate you are in regards to the dress. I love your videos, your Chanel is so underrated. You are super inspiring 💙
Thank You for doing this video. This dress is such a part of Marilyn and her time with us. She gave us so much, the memories are to be treasured and cared for.
What a great vlog...AGAIN! What a shame anyone would allow that dressed to be used like that. Thanks Jordan for sharing!
Anyone who agreed to let this jumped up nobody wear this important, iconic piece of history, should be jailed for criminal damage!!!
How disrespectful to Marilyn.
Definitely is sickening that they let that harlet ruin Marilyn's Dress. That would be like letting one the Tribute artists wear Elvis' Gold Lamet suit to perform in. And I also agree that for me Christopher Reeve will always be Superman. Being born in 1979 I grew up through the 80s watching those movies in awe of him as a kid. And to this day Superman is my favorite superhero.
