Forever Marilyn Lookalikes Turn up the Heat on Luxury Homes by Brad Schmett
Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Brad Schmett, Broker Associate with Luxury Homes by Keller Williams today announced that the already smoking hot Palm Springs real estate luxury home market will experience yet another jolt thanks to the sponsorship of the Palm Springs Resort’s latest event. The local non-profit will be on hand August 1 to present the Marilyn Monroe lookalikes in several categories.
The 26 foot tall, 34,000 pound statue was installed in May 2012 at the corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Palm Canyon to the utter delight of locals and visitors alike. A free concert is planned for September as a special farewell, when the statue, regrettably, will be leaving Palm Springs. Although ongoing negotiations are in progress in the hope of keeping Marilyn right where she is, the community is planning to say farewell.
Schmett recently commented on incredible popularity of the Marilyn Monroe persona here in the desert, "Marilyn Monroe is an icon that is impossible to ignore or forget. She was a local here in the desert and there are still many people who remember her well. Her statue has attracted thousand to Palm Springs over the past year and we all hate to see her go. She has been great for the real estate market, bringing in scores of new neighbors and luxury home buyers. The Lookalike Contest should prove to be a gala event that will keep us all busy!"
The contest will be at held at the regular Village Fest downtown at 7pm on Thursday, August 1. Registration is ongoing and must be done ahead of time through the Resort website. Categories include Pets, Miss Junior Marilyn, Miss Marilyn, Drag Marilyn and Performing Marilyn. Hosted by Bella Da Ball, there will be prizes and fun for all as the Palm Springs Community unites to send Marilyn off with a rousing farewell.
