1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: This is jem nation. I remember a couple of weeks

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: ago with the met Gala and Kim Kardashian very famously

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: borrowed Marilyn Monroe's dress from Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: This is a dress that was worth nearly five million

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: dollars in twenty sixteen, so imagine what it's been. It

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: would have gone up since then. Very famous dress. This

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: is the dress that Marilyn Munroe wore and she almost

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: had to be sewn into it to seeing Happy Birthday

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: to the President with his wife sitting next to him

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: in front of her Big.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Jackie O Nasus was saying, wow, wow, well you didn't

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: tell me about this work.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Tell me it was your birthday? What present has she

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: given you? The Kim Kardashian has chronicled her journey to

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: put that dress on. She had to lose seven kilos.

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: She just asked this question, so Ripley's Believe It or Not?

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: So does that? How do you go about getting stuff?

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Can you get other stuff?

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: Well?

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: Do a shrunken head? Can you take him out.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: And give a little head for the night. I don't

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: know how that works. So what has happened here? Is

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: that this is against normal policy, but she has asked

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: if she could wear the dress. So the lengths they

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: had to go to, she had to lose seven kilos

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: to fit into it. They tried it a few times.

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: It's not working, so she dieted severely, ran in one

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: of those sweatsuits, lost a lot of weight so she

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: could fit into it. Guards had to handle it. She

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: could only wear it for a few minutes as she

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: walked up the stairs and was photographed in it. And

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: it's been returned and some of the experts, one of

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: them whom is a curator Ripley's Believe it or Not,

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: and someone who is an expert on these kind of

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: things and Marilyn Monroe's clothes, have said it's been damaged,

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a damaged zipper, slightly shredded fabrics around the hooks. It

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: looks like it's been stretched a little where those hooks are,

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: stress on the shoulder straps, missing some beads and sequence.

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: And if you look at the photos, it's not a

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: big deal. And did this, you'd go you can hardly see.

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Have a look, you can hardly see this is a

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: four point eight million dollar dress.

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: But it's not those zirconias aren't real dying.

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: No, that's not the point. It's it's it historical significance.

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: And let me say you this. The International Council of

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: Museums has said historical garments should not be worn by

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: anybody public or private figures, that this isn't stuff that

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: should be worn. It's like me going to borrow a

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: Princess Diana dress.

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: The Princess Diane is different to Marilyn Monroe. In his eyes,

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: it's hardly the shroud of chirin. It's not like she's

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: walking around in the shrouded churin.

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: This was a historically famous dress and in terms of

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: pop culture as well. So, but that difference between says

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Diana's dress.

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: Can I put on my Andy Warhol hat for a minute.

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: She's actually made it more popular culture by putting the

58
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: dress on. She's made Marilyn Monroe relevant to all the

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: fools that like the Kardashians. Well, that's like say, probably

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: didn't know Marilyn Monroe exists.

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, that's like saying, why don't we get an influ

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: want so to wear Princess Diana's clothes are on displite

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Kensington Palace. How would you feel about.

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: That, wouldn't bother me? Sure they'd be fine.

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Get the kid that unboxes Plato to dress up in

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: Princess Dye's garment.

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: But who are you to say that this isn't historically important?

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: This is your This is you saying I don't care

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: the historians clothing historian to say it matters.

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: This guy's getting bent out of shape.

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: And you know what, in years to come, people go

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: to Ripley's believe it or not, and they'll say.

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's the dress that Kim Kardashian. So if anything,

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: she's made it more relevant.

75
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: So would you be happy to see who's a modern

76
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: influencer to see them wearing Princess Diana dressed down there

77
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: to an opening and then to return it slightly damaged?

78
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: The cash me outside? Kid? Yeah outside?

79
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,040

80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: dressed to an opening, returns it slightly damaged, you say

81
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,720

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: She puts bubblegum on it, And you say, well, remember
