My mother and father always told me "Don't go near them niggers!" "Don't touch those niggers!" "Don't ever date you a nigger!" Little did mama know, is that daddy would take me to watch him slay them all day long. And little did I know, marrying a nigger would turn out to be the best decision of my life. He taught me how to work in the dark side of the world, and it actually turned out to be pretty fun. You know me as blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe, but you have no clue who I am behind these closed doors. I look like an angel, but in reality, i'm a MONSTER.
