imagine this...

"Every decade has an iconic blond like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana, and right now, I'm that icon."

You know - that sounds really self centered...but think about it. Did Marilyn Monroe set out to be iconic? It just happened...right? Granted - I'm not saying that Paris Hilton is an icon. I'm just saying - 25 years from now, will she be remembered as an easily as Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana? Possible...who knows? I just thought that it was an interesting quote.
