“Forever Marilyn”, a giant statue of Marilyn Monroe that once stood in Palm Springs much to the delight of tourists and upskirt perverts, may soon be returning thanks in part to a cream liqueur. Palm Springs. What a town.
P.S. Resorts, a cabal of hotel reps who promote tourism when they are not killing biker weekend, have a plan to bring the 26-foot tall statue back to the desert and it involves RumChata of all things. Via Palm Springs Life:
On Aug. 3, the City Council will hear a proposal from P.S. Resorts during the regularly scheduled 6 p.m. Council meeting to privately fundraise the funds needed in order to bring renowned artist Seward Johnson’s sculpture of the blonde bombshell back to Palm Springs as her final destination.
…
P.S. Resorts is currently negotiating a title sponsorship agreement with the RumChata Foundation to cover half the cost of bringing the sculpture back to Palm Springs and working on a plan to acquire the additional funds needed for the purchase through private donations.
No word on how much it will cost or how the arrangement with the liqueur company would all work – but may I suggest mixing RumChata sponsorship with an equal amount of sponsorship of Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire?
