The movie memorabilia auction at Christie's this week turned out to be a huge success. The top selling item was the black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The dress was estimated to reach as much as $140,000, but far exceeded the estimate, selling for $807,000. This price sets a record for the sale of a dress made for a movie. The money from the sale of the dress will go to the City of Joy Aid charity which helps underprivileged children in India.
Other lots did well, too. A Walther PPK 7.65 mil featured in the James Bond movie Dr. No sold for $89,000. Overall, the auction brought in over $1 million dollars.

Could that picture evoke the grace and charm of Audrey Hepburn any less? Next thing, you'll tell me they chose Jennifer 'Jugs' Hewitt to play our favorite petite sprite in a biographical movie about her.
Oh. Damn that.

I can only imagine what clothes owned by Madonna, Britney and Hillary Clinton will go for in 30 years.
