Judy Garland's blue gingham dress from The Wizard of Oz just made a fortune at a Beverly Hills auction, netting $480,000. A couple of other items sold well too: a Steve McQueen jacket went for $50,000, Marilyn Monroe's purple skirt from River of No Return sold for the same, and a decadent Jayne Mansfield cat-print jumpsuit sold for $16,250. Fancy! Except I want none of these things in my home and can't believe anyone else would either.
I don't know about you, but here are some actual movie props I'd spring for.
1. The candlestick (or rope?) from Clue

It's not a blunt instrument until Lesley Ann Warren has wielded it. Why isn't that thing on my mantle beneath my graffiti mural of Eileen Brennan?
2. This insane neckerchief from The Boys in the Band

Guys, gay neckwear is going to make a comeback. We need to own this now. I'll start by buying this gay multicolored neck albatross for $750,000.
3. Jane Fonda's hard hat, microphone, outfit, and hair from The China Syndrome.

God, remember when TV journalism looked like this? I have the underbite to pull this ensemble off, so back off, guys.
4. The funky-ass pyramid jacket from Desperately Seeking Susan

Could. Not. Be. Superfly-er.
5. Any of the head bouquets Dame Edith Evans wears in The Importance of Being Earnest

It's my favorite movie adaptation of my favorite play, and since I can't make Algernon (Michael Denison) my husband, I'll settle for a talisman in the form of Dame Edith Evans' insane headpieces. Her line-reading of "A haaaaandbag?!" LEGEND.
And now you. Wow me with originality, because these Beverly Hills collectors depress me with their aggressive tastelessness.
