(Mariska's Mommy)
Gag product inventor Don Paynter approached Jayne with the making of curvy shaped Jayne Mansfield hot water bottles. Jayne, ever eager to promote, agreed, and they proved to be a great success.
Jayne was having the time of her life, her career was going well, she was having great success. The only thing she didn't have was a husband and a fabulous place to live. Then Mickey surprised her with a 10 carat diamond ring. On January 13, 1958 was the beginning of Jayne and Mickey's fairy tale marriage which would only last about 6 years. Fox, first unsupportive of their union, would be convinced by Jayne of their love, and helped make her wedding day a true event. Her dress was a tight pink lace bell bottomed dress fashioned at Fox, and attendance was limited to 100 "close friends". These close friends were mostly reporters, photographers and press agents. After a Miami honeymoon, Jayne and Mickey reported to a six week engagement at the Las Vegas Tropicana.
Meanwhile, back in Hollywood, they also began to create Jayne's fantasy home. A mansion on Sunset Boulevard which would be renamed The Pink Palace. The Pink Palace was a spectacle, and gave Jayne her chance to live out her girlhood fantasies and free reign to her outlandish image of how a movie star ought to live. Features of the Pink Palace included:
1.A heart shaped swimming pool that said "I Love You Jaynie" on the bottom in two foot high gold mosaic tiles.
2.Eight bedrooms.
3.13 baths.
4.A grand scaled Pink Mink living room.
5.Heart shaped bed and fireplace.
6.A Pink Cadillac (given to her by Mickey after the birth of their son Miklos).
7.A Pink Jaguar.
8.An Eldorado Cadillac.
9.A closet full of minks (white,pink and black).
10.Twice weekly baths in Pink Champagne.
