There's Lot In a Name

Combing hair in front of mirror,
 a countenance is explored in nuance.
 "You are beautiful",...the whisper lingers,
 An intent gaze, inhaled and endeared.
They say,.. I look like Marilyn, the celebrity diva,
the name lights fireworks, exciting elixir.  
Compared for looks with a gorgeous star,
Oooh..the name then means a world to her.
The name weaves a vivacious  bond, 
A travesty  of stardom boggles her mind.
Bombinating joys...flirting eyes of beholder
Breezing confidence in her life, an enticing name
permeates fragrance, a conjecture she believes.
Zooming selfies on Facebook uploads,..
likes counted, she fosters passion for that name. 
The crimson name flatters glittering self-love,
as her soaring spirit reaches a starry heaven above.
Yes, mannequins yearn for assurance to survive 
There's lot in a name,... 
Perhaps Shakespeare was naive!!
