‘Wizard Of Oz’ Dress Sold: Judy Garland Costume Auctioned For $480,000**
“We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore. According to the AP, the famous frock that Judy Garland wore in “The Wizard of Oz” just sold for $480,000 at a recent auction."
“The blue gingham dress yielded the highest price of any item during a two-day Hollywood memorabilia auction. There were other Hollywood props for sale, including Julie Andrews’s “Sound of Music” dress, which fetched $38,400, and Marilyn Monroe’s purple skirt from “River of No Return” was sold for $50,000."
“Dorothy’s other famous possession, The Ruby Slippers, went up for auction in 2011. “The Holy Grail of celebrity props” was sold for a dizzying $2 million."(text:Moviefone.com and AP)
( @nighthawks : Did you have anything in the auction?)
Great moving-day pictures yesterday! Thank goodness we had the van….my balancing skills would have been sorely tested with all that stuff on a bicycle!
Seems to me, the Hostess employees did this to themselves. And now another company is down the drain. I heard on the news that people are flocking to the stores to buy all the Hostess products.
Actually, I like potato chips, but I never liked the Hostess brand. Even as a kid, when the bags where aluminum foil and paper, I preferred Lay’s chips. I think my parent always bought Hostess though. I ate them until I tasted Lay’s. Now I try not to have chips around. My only temptation.
Shika, I used to like Coke, before they came out with New Coke. I switched to Pepsi and never turned back. When I read that Warren Buffett invested in Coke-a-Cola because he liked Cherry Coke, I invested in Pepsico because I like Pepsi, Fritos and Jalapeno Cheetos.
when i want salty, i go with Frito Scoops.i like the way i can over load them.and my soda of choice is diet R.C., or Diet Right if i dont want caffeine. and i also like Dr. P.i will also down a ginger ale or ginger beer.
Oh, Bugles! I’d forgotten those. Yummy.The only dip I grew up with was sour cream and onion, made from plain sour cream and onion soup mix. I liked it.Now, if I go out, I’ll try whatever is being served, but I don’t buy or make dip.
Happy are you watching the Horton movie on FX? I was referring to the original cartoon made back in the 60’s or 70’s. That and the Grinch were half hour shows.

Good afternoon, JP Steve!

Wouldn’t it be ironic if they bounced back? Hostess, I mean.

Good Evening Citizens of Dogs. Shika is back on line.

I never even ate Hostess chips. The chips I buy are those of the Frito Lay company which is part of Pepsico. I am shareholder of Pepsico.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
I said it before, and I’ll say it again. I will not miss Hostess.

I don’t think so, Shika
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
happy, you posted something and now it has disappeared? What is another picture?
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
i tryed a couple and they did not show.refresh and see if you see the new one.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Shika, I don’t eat chips often either, but I will take Frito-Lay over Hostess any time. Of course, with Lays, you can’t have just one.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Okay, now I can see it. What a cute picture. I am always amazed at how cats and dogs get along sometimes. It is nice to see.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Oh yeah, that one in big bold letters. It was so long ago, I forgot.

It wasn’t exactly Shakespeare, but for some reason that came to me. :-)
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
Frito-Lay is the company.Lays is potatoe chips,Fritos is corn chips.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Happy’s got it right. And I’m a shareholder via Pepsico.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Yes, Shika, Doritos are a Frito-Lay product.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
I make ginger beer myself.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
They are the the leader in salty snack foods down here.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Doritos are another weakness of mine. I don’t keep them in the house either.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
What are you watching tonight Grog?
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Shika, I used to like Coke, before they came out with New Coke. I switched to Pepsi and never turned back. When I read that Warren Buffett invested in Coke-a-Cola because he liked Cherry Coke, I invested in Pepsico because I like Pepsi, Fritos and Jalapeno Cheetos.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
It was Dick Van Dyke night, but it’s over and I’m just winding down before I turn in after a rough week.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
when i want salty, i go with Frito Scoops.i like the way i can over load them.and my soda of choice is diet R.C., or Diet Right if i dont want caffeine. and i also like Dr. P.i will also down a ginger ale or ginger beer.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
I also just finished listening to the A Space Oddity album by David Bowie.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
mostly i drink coffee, or iced tea.herbal tea.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Grog I will be going to bed soon myself. My week has been rough for a different reason, I’m sure.
I just made some popcorn. All this talk about salty snacks got to me.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
happy, I also drink herbal tea. I don’t buy pop at all. Only when I’m out I have it. But homemade ginger beer from the root is nice for me.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
I don’t drink coffee or tea at all, I try not to buy anything that would make me want to buy a dip — like Bugles.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Dick van Dyke is a nice way to end the evening Grog. Also music.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Oh, Bugles! I’d forgotten those. Yummy.The only dip I grew up with was sour cream and onion, made from plain sour cream and onion soup mix. I liked it.Now, if I go out, I’ll try whatever is being served, but I don’t buy or make dip.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
The good thing is I’ve got all next week off. I wonder if Fellow Baby also has the week off.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Is it because it is Thanksgiving coming up?
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Yes though, 3 days is out of my own vacation days.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
i make my own “dip”.and its more of a relish, or tapenade.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
I have a busy few weeks ahead.Guess I’ll head off to bed now.
Good Night Grog.Good Night Happy!Sleep well.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Salsa?
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Jalapeno dip sounds great!
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Good night, Shika
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
salsa is good, but my dip is not a true salsa. no tomato, but you can make it hot.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Enjoy the beginning of your vacation Grog. Night!
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Are you serious, Shika? No Scoops?
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago
they are just Frito corn chips that are larger and scoop shaped.
Shikamoo Premium Member over 11 years ago
Your dip sounds good too happy.I’m really going now.
GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
Thanks, Shika. Good Night.
I’m sure I saw Scoops in Edmonton, but I may be mistaken. When did Scoops come out?
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago

Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 11 years ago

GROG Premium Member over 11 years ago
