Photo of the Day: Marilyn Monroe Goes Greek!

The immortal Marilyn Monroe and her Greek 'friend'

a magnificent musical instrument 
from Ancient Greece, 

the Laouto which is still played today, 
especially in Crete.

 Marilyn and her Laouto,
Two quite different, 
but nonetheless amazing,
works of art! 

Happy 90th Ms Marilyn,

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy 90th Birthday to Amazing Global Greek Golden Girl Betty White!

 Global Greek Golden Girl Betty White who turns 90 today

'We always made a big thing about birthdays because they were such fun and my mother always taught me never lie about your age - brag about it - never lie about it...' 

From all of us in our Global Greek World 

we want to thank you for all the joy you have given us, 

and to wish you

a very Happy Birthday and many, many happy returns!

In Greek we generally say, 

Na ta ekatostiseis - may you live to be 100- 

but in Betty's case, we'll make it 1000!

Chronia Polla & Kala, Betty! Na ta chiliaseis!
