COUNCIL Tax statements for 2015/6 are dropping through all our letterboxes in Bournemouth – and with it is a guide.

This year the Guide is funded by advertisements.

We, at Hotel Celebrity, placed an advert in the guide which included a picture of Marilyn Monroe - head and shoulders shot. The council came back to say that they considered it ‘too sexy’ for the Guide and asked for the picture to be replaced, but later agreed to let it stay.

In tandem with the Sun our picture isn’t on page 3 it’s on page 22.

What do you think - is Marilyn Monroe too sexy for this century or is she still an amazing lady fondly remembered by all who have seen her films?
