Shiny objects I cannot afford, but covet madly
Some of Forrest Ackerman's collection is going to be auctioned off. (clicky-link!)
Including:
- Dracula ring worn by Lugosi as Count Dracula. ($20,000-$30,000).
- Cape made for Lugosi in 1932 and used many times for his stage portrayal of Dracula. Lugosi also wore the costume in Plan 9 from Outer Space. ($15,000-$20,000).
- A first edition of Dracula, signed by Bram Stoker and inscribed by Bela Lugosi to Forry Ackerman (also signed by a host of other Dracula-related personalities). ($6,000-8,000).
FIRST EDITION OF DRACULA, SIGNED BY STOKER AND LUGOSI!!! Yes, my heart skipped a beat when I read that. I need a very wealthy fairy godmother, or I need to start my life of crime now.
---
Oh yeah, happy things! Things That Make Me Happy, Day The Third:
- Dracula. (oooh, I should read part of The Annotated Dracula tonight.)
- Cupcakes. (We stopped at Cupcake Royale after dinner.)
- That Ruthven, one of our adolescent boykitties, still chases his tail if he sees it.
