Marilyn Monroe fans will now have a chance to own some of her belongings! Her clothing, memorabilia, autographed pictures, and jewelry from her Brentwood home are reportedly being sold by Julien’s Auctions this month.

One of the most notable items is Marilyn Monroe’s leotard costume made of chiffon and net with fitted fishnet overlay and rhinestones.

This costume is believed to have been designed by William Travilla and allegedly intended to be worn for Marilyn to sing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" but deemed inappropriate by the censors. Julien's Auctions Summer Entertainment Sale will feature memorabilia from Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley on June 26 and June 27, 2009, in Las Vegas.

Also on auction next month are Elvis Presley’s belongings, including his books he gave to his longtime physician and friend, Dr. Nick.

Julien's Auctions Summer Entertainment Sale will feature memorabilia from Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley on June 26th and June 27th in Las Vegas. The items will be view at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas before the auction begins.
