A grade A cunt, who wouldn't know a "cead mile failte" if it didn't come in a brown envelope.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today.

When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night.

And she did.
