It must be nice to be able to afford things like this
   
but then again, isn't this just a bit much?

I talked to my granddaughter last night and she sounded so despondent because her job search isn't going very well.

Yet people have 5 million dollars to buy a ****ing dress?

Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress sells for $5.6 million at auction



Los Angeles (CNN) -- Marilyn Monroe's white "subway" dress sold for more than $5.6 million in a Beverly Hills, California auction Saturday night in which bidders paid another $2.7 million for three other Monroe movie outfits.

It was the first in a series of auctions to sell the massive Hollywood history collection that singer, dancer and actress Debbie Reynolds accumulated over the past 50 years.

Collector Keya Morgan said Saturday's bids were "totally crazy, especially in this recession."

Bidding for the iconic ivory pleated dress Monroe wore in "The Seven Year Itch" was "totally magical," Morgan said.

Reynolds was in tears when, after 20 minutes of drama, the gavel sounded an end to bidding with the price at $4.6 million.

Nancy Pelosi could afford it.

This kind of shit keeps up the gated communities better build higher fences

Last night I watched House Hunters, this couple were buying a house in Fiji if you can believe it. She pouted throughout because she wanted the $2 million house and he wanted the $1 million house. Tsk tsk, so many ****ing
decisions to make.

Have the Frogs had enough boiling yet?

14. These are people without values, like the GOP
   
Our whole country, however, has developed a certain amorality.

Liberalism is based on jealousy of what other people have, and instead of aspiring to be like them, they want to tear them down.

I'm sorry, but what does one have to do with the other.  Does somebody buying an obscenely priced dress make it any more difficult for your granddaughter to find a job?  No, they are completely unrelated events.

Some rich people were sitting on millions of dollars in the bank. They bought some high dollar clothes for a collection and now those millions are out in circulation...get off your asses DUmmies and try to find a way to earn some of it.

They bitch when the rich sit on millions, then they bitch when they spend it. :whatever:

It isn't an obscenely-priced dress, it's an investment vehicle, no different from buying an stack of krugerrands, or a famous painting.

DUmmy CatWoman is so low-class, she must believe someone bought it to wear to Golden Corral.

Gold-Lotto has a slogan "Wouldn't it be nice....."

Sure -  It'd be nice to be able to afford something like that.

The difference between left and right here is that we will look at finding a good or service that we can  market to gain us that sort of money whereas you'll demand that no one be allowed to have that much money and should they be to rude as to have it anyway, that the government confiscate it.

Just so they can be happy knowing their ration-card gov*mart $5 "all natural hemp trousers (with extra itchy)" are the best out there, and you'll never have to feel small or poor.

CatWoman lives in a trashy neighborhood in Stone Mtn which, as trash, is exactly where she belongs.  She complains about this Monroe dress and its cost, but not a word about having millions of dollars spent for Barak and Michelle to have a "date" in NYC or to vacation in Spain.  Priorities, you know.

What these idiots don't understand is all the mouths that will be fed because of the rich and those auctions. Some of that money even trickled down to my son as a writer for Prop Blog. What about all the people working for the auctions? Believe it or not there are giant warehouses full of Hollywood props with a whole lot of little people working in them.
What happens when there are no more rich people and there is no money left and nothing to aspire to, even other peoples money, you morons?

Yes if they live in the state where the auction is held. Similar to Ebay. Also a premium is paid buy both party's to the auction house so the tax man sure as hell gets his share. You would think the DUmmies would be elated!
