I hope Diana doesn’t get wind of this. From now until December 17th, Christies, in New York City is auctioning off millions of dollars worth of art, clothing, and jewelry belonging to the late Elizabeth Taylor, the original Diva. Among the items on the auction block is this antique diamond tiara, circa 1880, given to Liz in 1957 by her husband Mike Todd, who told her “you are my queen.” Liz, I think she would be ok with me calling her Liz, wore the tiara to the 1957 Academy Awards. Sadly Mike Todd would die the following year. The tiara is expected to sell for $60,000.00 to $80,000.00.
I’d better check my credit card limit.
