What do you think? Just how many people are totally smitten with her and have the $$$ to bid on a Lauren Bacall treasure? Probably a lot of baby boomers who watched all her films on TV. Not mentioning names, or anything. Cough. 
Lauren Bacall Was A Pearl Lover

No Problem Y'all ;-). I am surprised how inexpensive some of the clothing actually sold for. There were a couple of designer capes that were not that expensive considering the provenance.
