14 Aug '07 - 269 W - + 3 - 3 Marilyn Goes Off His Face

Here’s a bit more from the interview I did with Marilyn back in the early ‘80s. It continues the story of ‘A Day in His Life’...

“I walked down Carnaby Street for a while to see if I could find any clothes I fancied in the shops, but I couldn’t, so I went to have a facial treatment instead.

“For anyone who’s never had a facial, I’ll try to give you some idea of what happens. The first thing they do is to cleanse the skin, then they put a kind of thick wax over your face and scrape it off. Then they start squeezing and pinching your skin to clean out every pore. There are some other processes too but I’m not exactly sure what they involve because I usually fall asleep half way through.

“By the time they’ve finished with you, you end up looking like a pig. It takes at least three days for your skin to recover, so I was really furious when I discovered this evening that I was supposed to be doing a TV recording tomorrow. I’ll look absolutely dreadful. I’m sure I’ll have big red lumps all over my face and I won’t be able to hide them because you’re not supposed to wear any makeup after having a treatment.”


And here’s part One of an interesting TV documentary (featuring Marilyn, Boy George, Steve Strange and others)...
