TikTok Star JasmineChiswell lives in Marilyn Monroe’s house in 2020 has perfectly coiffed platinum blonde hair, a penchant for red lipstick, and a wardrobe of exclusively 1950s dresses.
in addition to TikTok. They live in the Spanish-style house in Burbank, California, where Monroe lived with DiMaggio, which Chiswell thinks was built around 1939 and is haunted by a mostly friendly ghost, possibly Monroe’s. “Since being in this house, my hair has gotten a lot better. I know that’s really bizarre,” Chiswell says.
Chiswell didn’t always dress this way. She grew up between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and loved to watch old movies with her grandmother. She loved how Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly, and Diana Dors dressed, particularly in their casualwear. “I didn’t have the confidence to dress that way though,” she says. “I had kind of a grungy style. I got rid of my Doc Martens when I started dressing this way, but I’ve always loved heels.
Both Chiswell and McNeilly speak of not shopping, but collecting. To be a vintage shopper, you have to have a magpie mindset. The two scour Etsy, Ebay, estate sales, auction houses, thrift stores, and vintage stores together. “I have close to maybe 100 true vintage pieces of clothing, and 50 reproductions,” Chiswell says. “That’s false. You have at least 220 vintage and so many regular reproduction dresses,” McNeilly says, and Chiswell laughs. Men’s clothes are harder to find .
The couple is just as fastidious when it comes to their retro beauty and grooming regimes. McNeilly does his hair in true Danny Zuko style, with real grease. “I use dish soap to wash the grease out of my hair,” he says. “It’s probably the worst thing you can do to your hair. It sits so much better, though.” Chiswell sets her hair in pin curls every night. “I looked up a lot of Youtube tutorials, and I found these old 1950s hair books that had different setting patterns,” she says.
Because of her unmistakable look and the millions who follow her on social media, Chiswell can never truly be incognito, even under lockdown. She’s had people come up to her in the street, to mock her, compliment her, or sometimes to offer her their own vintage clothing. Says Chiswell: “Because my husband dresses this way too, people will watch us and follow us around corners just to stare and look at us. We’ve had some people come up and laugh in our faces.
