Well, not OUR Cher, of course, but that OTHER Cher!

Seems she's having a yard sale & dumping her "GOTHIC" stuff!

(From a local news article)

Following a trend set by rock star Elton John, Cher is selling off nearly 800 items from stage costumes to gem encrusted jewelry, works of art, furniture and even a huge Hummer car in an auction expected to raise more than $1 million.

"This is a lot more than a garage sale. Apart from the dresses and jewels there are Old Masters and architectural drawings," said Darren Julien of Julien's auctions.

"She has a huge following. She is an icon. Her career in song, stage and screen has spanned nearly four decades," he told Reuters as some of the items went on show in London on Monday ahead of the sale in Los Angeles on October 3-4.

Among the items on show are several dresses by star designer Bob Mackie, white and yellow gold rings and necklaces and a book of architectural drawings by 19th century Gothic Revivalist Augustus Pugin.

"She is redecorating her home, going for a Moroccan-Tibetan look and selling the Gothic revival items," he added, noting that the mannequins supporting the dresses had to be especially made because of Cher's special figure.

++++++++++++++ Don't know about you, but I could fancy sitting around my Moroccan-Tibetan-style home in some of those Bob Mackie gowns.....assuming I could at least get a leg in one of them!

Can we acquire one of the ribs she had removed? It'd be just like the old days. Bone collecting. The efficacy of owning a bit of a saint. Relics in our own FG ossuary. This is gross of course, but could be fun too. Very wicked grin.

BONE COLLECTING? :wah:

Remember how Cinderella's stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to fit into the slipper? That'd be ME, trying on the Bob Mackie gowns! :wah:
