While most Angelenos won't be bidding for Elizabeth Taylor's jewels this December (we'll leave that to Becks and Posh), fans will be able to do the next best thing.
Starting tomorrow, Thursday September 22 at 9 a.m. (PST), tickets go on sale for a four-day exhibit in West Hollywood featuring the best of Taylor's gems, threads, and movie memorabilia. The baubles will be showcased at the MOCA Pacific Design Center for an extremely limited time (from October 13 to 16), so the most ardent among us should be waiting with a finger on the mouse tomorrow morning.
The exhibit is part of The Elizabeth Taylor Collection's international tour before the Christie's auction in December. Stops include Dubai, Hong Kong, and London, but West Hollywood is (fittingly) the tour's first stop in the United States. And the best thing about it? The celebration of Taylor's life also honors her legacy; a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
