Our Auction and more famous faces.

Hello again to all you fancy dressers out there!

Tuesday 16th of June I’m off to Bonhams, Knightsbridge for our auction of film memorabilia.  There is bound to be lots of press coverage, so if you cannot make it keep an eye out for little old me, I’ll be using my wand to bid as there are some iconic items in this collection.  The leading item is Lot 251, it is Christopher Lee’s cape from Dracula.  When he came in recently he took a look at it and has confirmed that it was his from all those years ago!

Besides that there has been much excitement here in the world of the famous and lovely, guess who has been in for a good dressing up?  (In fact they are still waiting in reception for their car to whisk them away). Sacha Baron Cohen! You’ll know him as that very close pal of both Ali G and Borat.  Apparently he brought his ‘friend’ Bruno in for a costume fitting.  I have been asking our staff why Sacha is waiting in reception and Bruno has gone, the receptionist tells me that Bruno is not a big enough star to get a car so he went home on the tube; whereas Sasha is a real star!

Oh, I’m sooo very excited at last a real star who doesn’t tower over the little fancy dress fairy (usually they are so tall).  Well if I stretch my wings out as wide as I can I’m almost as tall as the wonderful Bob Hoskins.  I have been flitting about here for 20+ years and Mr Hoskins never ever changes.  Well I suppose tomorrow will be a Long Good Friday!

As always
