Truth.
This is my Ron Burgundy tattoo done by Justin Zaun at Independent Ink in Fargo, North Dakota. It all kind of started as a joke with my artist talking about how he wanted to practice doing more portraits, and one day we really made it happen (and I couldn’t be happier). We’re finishing it up soon with “Stay Classy” underneath him, can’t wait to see it all done.
I hope it makes you guys laugh as much as it does me, stay classy tumblr ;)

Marilyn Monroe & Tony Curtis (who I choose to believe is throwing horns) on the set of Some Like It Hot (1959, dir. Billy Wilder)
“[The tailor on Some Like It Hot] measured me, 16, 34, 43, 18, 19, 18,” Tony Curtis later recalled, “and then he goes to Marilyn - this is all in the same day and this is the truth…He comes in to Marilyn’s room and Marilyn had on a pair of panties and a white blouse and that’s all. He put the tape around her legs, looked up at Marilyn and said, ‘You know, Tony Curtis has got a better-looking ass than you.’ She was standing there, she unbuttoned her blouse, and said, ‘He doesn’t have tits like these!’”
For once, I think we need these salty stories, because Monroe needs all the salt she can get. The Marilyn industry is so deeply soaked in her crack-ups -shaking the poor woman until we can hear the slosh of booze and the rattle of pills -that it’s a relief to get back to the floozie with the forked tongue.
