New Line Cinema is holding a charity auction on Ebay right now,  offering up all the vintage style costumes worn by the cast of Hairspray, plus some assorted movie paraphernalia.  Proceeds from the sale are being donated to City Meals on Wheels and The Harry Holmberg Memorial Foundation.   

Here are just a few samples and current bids. And there are still four days left!

Unbelievably cute polka dot dress  worn by the character Amber Von Tussle, played by Brittany Snow. Current bid $242.50.

Red sequined dress  worn by John Travolta, as Edna Tumblad, Tracey’s mom. Bid is already $1125.00.

This pink sequined mini dress  worn by Nikki Blonskey, a.ka., Tracey, is currently $1000.00.

Can’t wait to see this movie. I loved the first Hairspray by John Waters in the 80s.  It’ll be interesting to see if this one can measure up to the original.  It will be especially interesting to see if John Travolta can top Divine’s performance.  From reading initial reviews, it doesn’t appear he can.

Anyway, even though the bidding for most of this stuff is probably going to go sky high, it’ll still be fun to watch the auction to see how it turns out. Of course, there’s always the Tracey Turnblad whoopee  cushion  currently a bargain at  only $46.00!
