marylin's dress goes to auction

If diamonds are your best friend, if you are preferred by gentlemen, or if you are a gold-digger, then you might be interested to know that Marylin Monroe's infamous dress is going to auction:


The dress is anticipated to reach $150,000-$200,000. Honestly, I think that price might be a little low. This dress is so iconic, I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches higher prices at the auction block.

Along with this dress, the auction includes other fun memorabilia from Hollywood, including Margaret Hamilton's witch hat from The Wizard of Oz and Johnny Depp's pirate jacket from Pirates of the Caribbean. Personally, I think I'd like to buy Julie Andrew's carpet bag from Mary Poppins. You never know when you're might need a hatstand, and having that bag would be handy, right?

You can read more about the auction here. And if you are a LOST fan, you might be interested in seeing the auction preview of the LOST memorabilia that is for sale. I would totally bid on Charlie's "Driveshaft" ring.

That's awesome!

So, I was just reading your thoughts on LOST from your other blog. I loved the finale. I had to watch it again and do some reading, but I really loved it.

Who do you want to win AI tonight?

I saw the light saber, too! Wouldn't that be cool?

Yeah, I loved the finale too. I still have some questions (I would have liked to learn more about the Others, or the numbers at the hatch, or the polar bear), but I can survive. The writers gave enough information to make me happy. I cried a couple of times, too (like during the Jin/Sun and Juliet/Sawyer scenes).

I'm not sure who is going to win AI. I think that Crystal did a really, really good job last night. She was much better than Lee, but I really like Lee. I would be happy if either of them win. Does anyone else have thoughts about who they want to have win AI?

I think Marilyn Monroe's dress will get waaaay more than they are expecting, too. It is just so iconic.

I LOVE Charlie's ring. How cool would it be to own that? I love Charlie!

Okay, so check this out! I told you that since I don't have ABC here, I decided to wait until the season ended then watch all the LOST episodes from this season back-to-back. I started the night of the finale and watched about four. The next day, I go to abc.com and they have REMOVED all of the final season episodes except for the final four or something! What in the world am I going to do!? There's no way I'm watching the finale without seeing the rest of the season!
