“I’ve always dreamt of being next to Marilyn Monroe for the rest of my life, and I bought Hugh Hefner’s round bed and Marilyn Monroe’s bathing suit at Julien’s this weekend,” Anthony Jabin said.
Apart from crypt space, Jabin also purchased a swimming costume that once belonged to Monroe, as well as Hugh Hefner’s old bed.
