Audrey Hepburn’s dress…

One of the black Givenchy dresses made for Hepburn for the film, ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ was sold to an anonymous bidder for a whooping £467,200, far exceeding the £70,000 originally expected.

Yes. Audrey. Hepburn. Givenchy. Dress. £467,200.

That’s for one dress, not two. No freebies thrown in. Not even a copy of the film. Not even a little vial sample of Givenchy perfume.

Marilyn’s ‘Happy Birthday’ dress…

The cost fetched for Hepburn’s dress somewhat pales into the background when compared to how much was paid for the dress Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to the then U.S. President, J.F Kennedy, at Madison Square Gardens in 1962.

At $1,267,500, Marilyn’s dress went into the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive garment ever sold.

A Kitty Hoodie…

Is there really anything to say about this that it’s not saying about itself?

I don’t know whether to laugh …or laugh.

It looks strange, cute and scary - like Batman with seee-rious identity issues.

Upon the sight of this hoodie, cats will run, dogs will whimper, and parking attendants shall quickly cross over to the other side of the road.

It’s definitely making a statement. No doubt about that.

Is that yo’ fat wallet or are ya jus’ happy ta see meh…

In 2007, a pair of traditional Austrian ‘Lederhosen’ (knee-length leather trousers) was sold for 85,000 euros to a German living in Dubai.
This pair was apparently made from wild red deer skin and studded with 166 gold-set diamonds.

Three cheers for Wohlmuther, the Austrian designer who created them – if he can charge that much for them and get away with it, then hurrah to the next rich chump that comes along.

Hamburger Baby…

The first step to being at one with a cheeseburger …is to be at one with a cheeseburger.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

This baby looks way too cute in this outfit. He also looks a bit stuck where he is, like he’s thinking ‘I’ve gotta do some serious rocking back and forth so I can build up the momentum to get up.’

Too cute.

Diamond-encrusted Jeans…

The most expensive pair of jeans was launched at London Fashion Week back in February for a mere £640,000.

The ladies’ jeans - 27 inches at the waist (so only for skinny rich cows, then?) – is encrusted with 15 diamonds (each worth up to £135,000).

The first pair was bought by an ‘anonymous buyer’.

The diamonds are attached to each back pocket, so the wearer would have to be careful every time she used the ladies’ room. Can you imagine if one of those £135k babies fell in the loo??? Not funny.

(But funny)
