Inspired by starlets of then, later, and now, these poems reflect back at us how we have failed women who wanted love and art, only to get cranked out the other side as product. Fueled by the haunting reality that Monroe is ogled even in death and the rehashing of Anderson’s deepest invasion of privacy these poems highlight the fragmentation that necessitates the survival of femme fatales and other such types.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the golden age of television and Sunday night prestige the starlets have not gone missing but are transforming. As our access to stars increases, who gets to exist plainly in the world is reduced. The metamorphosis from girl to starlet to woman to body parts is ever cycling and alluring. In the words of Norma Jean herself: “Do you want to watch me become her?”. These poems are an apology for and a reflection of our complicity in the carnage. \u003cem\u003ePrestige TV Killed the Starlet\u003c\/em\u003e asks where does your prestige lie and who pays the price for it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLaura Andrea is a writer from Carolina, Puerto Rico.
