As we mentioned last week, Bette Midler is putting several items up for auction with profits helping the New York Restoration Project.
Some of the items up for grabs at Julien’s Auctions on November 11th includes Bette├óΓé¼Γäós show costumes and a pair of shoes given to her by Cher, but the Divine Miss M is having second thoughts about that one.
Reveals Midler:
“Cher gave me these shoes in the early ’70s when these kind of platform shoes were all the rage… You cannot walk or take a step in them. My daughter is so mad about them, when she heard I was going to sell them, she got, like, panic-stricken. So I may remove them.”
And getting rid of her items hasn’t been easy. She adds:
“It was terribly emotional. When I saw the catalogue, which is one of the most beautiful things ever, I burst into tears because I couldn’t believe it, it happened in a blink of an eye. It was so fantastic. The ride was such a wild ride. But it was 40 years… I can’t believe I’m doing it.”
If we had Cher’s shoes we wouldn’t want to get rid of them either!
