The swan dress born by Iceland's most famous export Bjork is set to be auctioned for charity next month. The dress was worn by Bjork to the 2001 Oscars and made fashion headlines around the world. The auction is being run by Oxfam. Overall, more than 150 celebrity items will be sold in the auction which is to be run on eBay. Other items will include a shirt from Kofi Annan, a helmet from Blur's Damon Albarn and a pair of sunglasses from Yoko Ono. An Oxfam spokesperson said: "We wanted people to give things that were personal and had a story behind them because bidders will then know they are getting something particularly special to the person concerned and all in aid of a good cause."
As I was writing up this post, I thought to myself how ugly the Bjork dress is. From what I recall, there was another celeb with a different dress that caught even more attention, but yet they aren't auctioning that off. You know the one. I'm talking about the infamous J Lo dress! I bet if they auctioned that off, it would receive huge bids. Then again once I think about it, chances are some 400lb woman would buy it and try and squeeze into it. Not many can pull off a dress like J Lo's. Some things are better left out of reach and unobtainable to the general public, whether the money raised would go to a good cause or not.
