Gross anatomy
A gruesome little item from Popbitch: “We heard an amazing story from an aging playboy this week. Some years ago, this upper-crust chap was chatting up a buff black man in a bar and the conversation turned to their occupations. The American said he was an undertaker. And that it was to his funeral home that Marilyn Monroe was brought on her death. He went on to confess that all the local undertakers then took turns to have sex with her corpse. (FYI: The undertaker claimed the practice was rife in funeral parlours.)”
Poor Marilyn. Screwed over in life, screwed over in death. My friend pointed out that it took a while before the body was discovered, so try not to imagine the state it was in. One hears all sorts of stories about mortuaries, and I don’t mean the Six Feet Under (I never watched it) variety. They’re mostly untrue and defame an honorable profession, but here in the P.I. we guard our dead through every stage of the process.

I remember watching a Canadian movie a few years ago about narcophilia, the title of which escapes me at the moment. I only remember that the protagonist looks like Liv Tyler. It’s a story of a woman who couldn’t find true love because of her preoccupation/fascination with death. She started doing weird rituals when she sees dead birds and the like until she reaches an age

cont’d..
when she is expected to get married. A man then attempted to have a relationship with her and she was honest to him about her preoccupation. She chose to work as an embalmer and it became weirder from there: whenever she’s alone at work, she’d “make love” (as she puts it) to the dead bodies and reach what she refers to as “ecstasy”. Meantime, her man knows about her strange “habit” but he just keeps on loving her. Whenever he attempts to make advances to her, she refuses. Towards the end of the movie, her man decided to commit suicide “if it’s the only way to be with you”, he says. Man hangs himself and woman makes love to him, finally! How gross is that?

The Canadian movie about necrophilia is “Kissed.” I don’t find it gross. Gross is the Aga Muhlach-Maricel Soriano film “A Love Story.” “Kissed” is unsettling.

Jerome David, you probably mean “necrophilia?”
Wait, that would mean that Marilyn’s body would be hideously mutilated because of the the damage sex inflicts. Wasn’t Joe diMaggio still able to kiss her before she was finally buried? Does that mean Joltin’ Joe didn’t see the damage done upon the only woman he truly loved?

Haha. I think “narcophilia” applies more to Anna Nicole Smith than Marilyn Monroe.

Thanks, Edrie! I stand corrected…
