    		It was fleshcovered but covered with thousands of sparkling rhinestones. Poor Marilyn - so sad.

    		Marilyn's beaded Jean Louis gown, worn when she sang Happy Birthday to President Kennedy, was sold in 1999 for £820,000. At the time it was the record price for a single item of clothing, until Marilyn's billowing white Seven Year Itch dress was put up for sale by Debbie Reynolds in 2011, where it made £2.8?million.

    Well over a century ago a piano keyboard was developed that provided the same "shape" for all triads rather than the white-white-white, white-black-white, black-white-black, black-black-black, black-white-white, and white-black-black major triads of the standard keyboard. (Got that? :P) Who designed it, and what is its other big advantage?
