Did Marilyn Monroe’s scene in The Seven Year Itch start the whole upskirt craze which continues today? Everyone has seen this classic upskirt moment on the Hollywood screen, so it’s superfluous but erotic to describe how Marilyn stood on the subway grate and when the subway passed, the breeze fanned the skirt of her dreamy white halter dress and flashed her demure white panties. Marilyn clearly enjoyed the thrill of the rush of air from the subway tunnel cooling off her hot pussy in the summer heat. Thousands of women have probably replicated Marilyn’s upskirt screen scene by standing on a subway grate wearing a billowy summer dress. Thousands of women have probably bought sexy white dresses and worn them in the city in the summer, myself included. Marilyn’s upskirt scene has become truly iconic. No one can forget Marilyn or her sexiest scene on film.

The billowy white halter dress Marilyn wore in The Seven Year Itch was auctioned this year for only five million dollars. A twenty-six foot tall sculpture in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile commemorates Marilyn in her white dress upskirt, captured forever. Tourists and locals pose for photos with the statue, mostly men, and gaze up at Marilyn’s white panty covered privates.
