Text on card: A visit to the Diamond Museum in Antwerp, a brilliant idea.

Bonjour Udo! Yes, diamonds are my best friends too (!!!) and if I do visit this museum, can I get them for free? :D

Marilyn Monroe: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend 

"The French are glad to die for love.

They delight in fighting duels.

But I prefer a man who lives

And gives expensive jewels.

A kiss on the hand

May be quite continental,

But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

A kiss may be grand

But it won't pay the rental

On your humble flat

Or help you at the automat.

Men grow cold 

As girls grow old,

And we all lose our charms in the end.

But square-cut or pear-shaped,

These rocks don't lose their shape.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Tiffany's!

Cartier!

Black Starr!

Frost Gorham!

Talk to me Harry Winston.

Tell me all about it!

There may come a time 

When a lass needs a lawyer,

But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

There may come a time

When a hard-boiled employer

Thinks you're awful nice,

But get that ice or else no dice.

He's your guy 

When stocks are high,

But beware when they start to descend.

It's then that those louses

Go back to their spouses.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

I've heard of affairs

That are strictly platonic,

But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And I think affairs 

That you must keep liaisonic

Are better bets 

If little pets get big baguettes.

Time rolls on,

And youth is gone,

And you can't straighten up when you bend.

But stiff back 

Or stiff knees,

You stand straight at Tiffany's.

Diamonds! Diamonds!

I don't mean rhinestones!

But diamonds are a girl's best friend!"
