The Cher Auction is upon us! This means both Crazy Queens and Senseless Straighties will be coming out of the woodwork to try and finagle a nappy wig once worn by Cher. Are you absolving yourself? Or are you all a fluster such as when it was 10 am and time to log on to ticketbastard in search of floor seats each time a final farewell date was announced? Will you have to mistype “mytsmerf” three times in a panic?
You still have time to search your soul: to bid or not to bid. But remember, Julien’s auction house requires that you pre-register with them to participate. Get forms from their website. And if you plan to bid from home on Ebay Live, you have to pre-register there as well.
But hey, who am I to judge? I still haven’t decided whether I’m going to pay my health insurance this month or buy me some Cher shoes. Where did I put my priorities? I know they’re around here somewhere. Stay tuned to find out what embarrassing thing I do…and to chat about the fan controversy surrounding the dissemination of Cher couture unto the masses.
After my visit to The Beverly Hilton Friday, September 29, 2006, to see the auction preview, I wrote a story for Ape Culture. I saw a very popular Cher impersonator there and some friendly Cher fan faces. I also took many photos and included some pix included in the press packet CD, which I’m sure you’ve already seen ‘cos you’ve bought your auction catelogues like superfans!
There are also some good pictures of auction items on Getty Images.
Hi Mary, what a cool and elegant blog! Looks great. Congratulations. Cher should be so lucky….

I love the way you write and the views you have of Cher…so much of what I feel.
Your tongue photo is my all time favorite because it so epitimizes the Cher I love. It appeared in W magazine and I contacted the photographer’s rep after it appeared to try and purchase a copy. Her response was that he doesn’t sell his photos to the public. When I find his name amoung all my memorabilla I’ll let you know.
