Melania’s hat . . . yours for £175,000!
DID you clean out a few cupboards over the holidays? Well, you were not alone. Melania Trump is auctioning off a hat, while Olivia NewtonJohn is auctioning off some right old tat.
For reasons known only to herself, Melania is selling the rather lovely Hervé Pierre hat she wore for President Macron’s visit in 2018, along with a watercolour and some other knick-knacks. I’ve always loved that hat! Maybe I’ll . . . oh hang on, bids start at £175,000. Maybe not.
Meanwhile, the Olivia auction boasts some real treasures, ahem, including autographed pebbles, a porcelain koala bear, some old skirts, some lightly-worn shoes and boots, and a selection of six of her scarves, for which some hopeful fan has already bid £100. I’ve got my eye on one item: a handmade ‘river rock generously embellished with crystals’.
You’re the one that I want! Not really.
