Le blog est passé en mode privé
Si vous avez accès au blog, c'est que je vous ai autorisé à le consulter. En effet, désormais, le blog est en mode privé. J'ai décidé de cette nouvelle disposition, qu'elle soit temporaire ou définitive -je n'ai pas encore pris de décision- pour contrer un certain utilisateur de facebook qui plagie l'intégralité du blog. Je ne peux avoir strictement aucun recours auprès de facebook (mes alertes en dénoncant sa page ne donnent rien, je n'ai aucun retour de facebook). Je pensais pouvoir piéger cette personne en publiant de fausses informations (ce que j'avais fait dernièrement en publiant deux intox) mais cela n'a pas fonctionné (il n'a, pour le coup, pas repris les infos sur sa page facebook). Et je ne veux pas continuer à poster de fausses informations pour ne pas vous prendre -vous, les lecteurs- au piège de cette mascarade. Je m'étais alors persuadée que je ne pouvais rien faire, et que je continuerai le blog, en sachant qu'il pille absolument tout. Mais lorsque je vais jeter un oeil sur sa page facebook, je me rend compte que non seulement il reposte les photographies à l'identique (dans le même ordre), mais aussi les articles (du copié collé traduit en anglais), les tags (avec les mêmes thèmes), ainsi que la présentation de ses posts agancés par ordre chronologique (par "année"; et avec les mêmes titres que sur le blog), et que surtout, il bénéficie d'une très grande reconnaissance auprès de ses lecteurs qui pensent qu'il est à l'initiative de ces recherches.
Tenir ce blog sur Marilyn est pour moi une passion; bien que cela me prenne parfois du temps pour rédiger certains articles, je ne le considère nullement comme une contrainte et me procure un grand plaisir de le partager avec le plus grand nombre d'entre vous. Mais lorsque je constate que le blog entier est pillé et publié ailleurs, intégralement et à l'identique, par une personne qui jamais ne mentionne mon blog et donc s'approprie en quelque sorte tout le travail de recherche que je fournis, je ne peux cautionner cette attitude. Les seules solutions qui s'offrent à moi sont de deux types: soit je supprime le blog (et anéantirait tout le travail fourni jusqu'alors), soit je le passe en mode privé (et par conséquent, ne peut donc plus partager avec le plus grand nombre). C'est pourquoi ma décision n'est pas encore définitive, peut être remettrai-je le blog ultérieurement en mode public.
J'avais aussi pensé, pour tous ceux et toutes celles d'entre vous, qui êtes inscrits sur facebook: si vous avez dans vos contacts de facebook des fans de MM, de leur envoyer des notifications dénonçant la page facebook de ce type et d'indiquer la provenance de ses sources, à savoir mon blog. Afin de dénoncer les agissements malveillants de ce type, faîtes-vous donc votre propre opinion en vous rendant sur sa page (allez voir ses albums photos et ses posts, vous y verrez un copié collé intégral du blog): Facebook Marilyn Monroe Unforgettable.
Et surtout, dénoncez sa manière de procéder auprès du plus grand nombre.
If you have access to the blog is that I've allowed you to see it. Indeed, now the blog is set to a 'private mode'. I decided this new provision, whether temporary or permanent, I have not yet made a decision, to counter a facebook user who plagiarizes the entire blog. I can have absolutely none appeal from facebook (my alerts denouncing his page do nothing, I have no facebook back). I thought I could trap this person publishing false informations (that I made recently by publishing two false things) but it did not work (he doesn't published these false informations on his facebook page) . And I do not want to continue posting false information so you do not take you, readers-the trap of this charade. I was then convinced that I couldn't do anything, and I will continue the blog, knowing that loots everything. But when I go take a look at his facebook page, I realize that not only repost photographs identical (in the same order), but also items (copy translated into English), the tags (exactly the same themes), as well as agencies for presentation of his posts in chronological order ("year", and with the same titles on the blog), and most importantly, it has a high recognition among its readers who think he is the initiative person of these researchs.
Keep this blog on Marilyn is a passion for me, although it sometimes takes me some time to write articles, I do not consider as a constraint and gives me a great pleasure to share it with as many of you. But when I see the entire blog is published elsewhere and plundered by a person who never mentions my blog and therefore somehow appropriates all the research I have provided, I can not endorse this attitude. The only options available to me are of two types: either I delete the blog (and destroy all the hard work so far), or I spend in private mode (and therefore can no longer share the many). That is why my decision is not yet final, I can defer the blog later for the public.
I also thought for all those of you who are registered on facebook, if you have contacts, in your facebook, with Marilyn Monroe's, send them notifications denouncing the facebook page of this guy and indicate the source of its sources, namely my blog. To denounce the actions of such malicious, do your own opinion by visiting its page: Facebook Marilyn Monroe Unforgettable.
And especially, denounce his manner of proceeding to the greatest number of people.

lot n°46001: Marilyn Monroe Early Signed Black and White Photograph,
Circa 1946.
An original print with a matte finish, depicting a young headshot of the twenty year-old before she looked like "Marilyn," signed in blue fountain pen ink on the lower right side "To Roy, / My favorite guard. / Always / Marilyn Monroe;" "Roy" being Roy Volker, a security guard at Twentieth Century Fox Studios throughout the 1940s-1950s; the inscription on this particular photograph is noteworthy because it appears to have been signed just as MM was changing her name -- it shows the childhood writing style of Norma Jeane Baker but is signed with her adult stage name of Marilyn Monroe. (Please note the inscription, especially the part reading "Marilyn Monroe," is now faded due to age and the photograph is somewhat yellowed and spotted.) 10" x 8
PROVENANCE: This piece was consigned directly to Heritage Auctions by Roy Volker's grandson.
