WHY OH WHY

Collector, Presumably With Wizard Of Oz Fetish, Snaps Up Dorothy’s Frock For $480K

By Elizabeth C.

SOMEWHERE, OVER THE RAINBOW, WHERE ELITES FLY
Some entitled person smiles
After snaring a dress that makes them high

Somewhere, over the rainbow, where greenbacks accrue
A collector dared to dream a dream
That Julien’s Auctions then made come true.

Mick Jagger’s ‘Brown Sugar’ Plans Sale Of Love Letters From Rocker

By Elizabeth C.

THE SUMMER OF 1969 WAS Mick Jagger’s summer of secret love with Philadelphia-born singer Marsha Hunt.

Rock ‘n roll’s bad boy had met the beautiful performer-turned-novelist when he visited her after she rejected the band’s request to pose for Honky Tonk Women.

Hunt had declined the gig because she “didn’t want to look like [she’d] just been had by all the Rolling Stones,” according to Wikipedia.

Instead, she was had by just the one, and the couple’s 10-month romance resulted in Jagger’s first child, a daughter named Karin.
