Historically Im thinking.. first there was the big crazy queer King Ludwig of Bavaria and he really knew from tacky! Then many, many, years later in a place called "Never Land" on an infinitely tackier scale there came to be another kind of super crazy (if not dangerous) uber queen, I mean King, called the King of Pop aka Michael Jackson. We really do live in such entertaining times.... don't we??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-39543296000198198542009-04-17T13:26:00.000-04:002009-04-17T13:26:00.000-04:00Em.

Something else!<br />Then there are the creepy things like demon looking "Annie" dolls with red hair. Really, really creepy. As for the furniture...well let's just say there is something for EVERYONE! His taste in furniture is all over the place from simple American country to incredibly gilt and ornate 18th Century style furniture mixed with carved rosewood furniture from Asia. <br /><br />But here is a view into MJ's psyche...he had over 30 or more life size mannequins of staff ranging from butlers, maids, cooks, chauffeurs and the like throughout his house sprinkled here and there with your least favorite Aunt Gertrude and Martha lurking in the corners! Not someething you want to experience on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460794173420772264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-71392590359552824712009-04-17T09:20:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:20:00.000-04:00Rush, That Darth Dader is something.

Even the tour bus he traveled in is now available for visitors to see. It's fascinating. One of my favorites is larger than life Darth Vader, sound and all, built from Legos!

I can't imagine how awful it must feel to have one's life laid bare like that ~ so I guess I can understand MJ's reluctance to let it all go.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348849115235899670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-28262790615548850692009-04-16T10:09:00.000-04:002009-04-16T10:09:00.000-04:00Indeed.

Most of the items are not in great condition and it's fascinating that he would go to court twice to get them back.Emily Evans Eerdmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434821015450147843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591223218619839288.post-88386896183951277792009-04-16T09:05:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:05:00.000-04:00Great post!
