Cleopatra's Throne
Last night we were marveling that, for the bargain price of $70,0000, an anonymous bidder has purchased the shades Steve McQueen wore in the Thomas Crown Affair. "Can you imagine wasting that much money on something so inconsequential?", we marveled.
Apparently we could. Within minutes we were able to identify movie/sports memorabilia that would definitely grace our homes should we:
a. inherit several million dollars, and
b. be required to spend it on something that was totally frivolous.
Rook decided he would purchase Darth Vadar's ensemble and Kirk's Captain's chair. Hmm... there's bound to be a least one kinky scene there. Dominating Darth Vadar while sitting in Kirk's chair - yum ;)
As for me, I would purchase Cleopatra's throne. Actually, there is already a spot in his home with a chair that's designated as my throne so I wouldn't even have to rearrange the furniture - just replace a chair and we'd be ready ;)
What would you buy?

Hi Lady Julia! Put me down for the ruby red slippers from the Wizard of Oz or the gown Grace Kelly modeled in Rear Window.
However judging from my brood’s film viewing habits, I’m probably looking at driving the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car to Wal-Mart once a week. Which would still be preferable to living in a giant pineapple under the sea :)
A throne for Alexandra would be a great choice.
I guess I'd want to buy the entire dungeon set from some old sword and sandal or historical movie.
Even if most of it couldn't (or shouldn't) be used it would lend a nice atmosphere.
I would buy the whole "Set" of Rick's Cafe American from the movie Casablanca so passers-by could come in dance, eat, chat or just relax for a while until resuming their journey.
I would choose the Batmobile.
Yes, some of us never grow up.
Agreed Richard. A dungeon would be nice. I don't really recall any mainstream S/m scenes in movies. I'm sure there are horror movies that had dungeons. Chains, cages, and stocks. Definitely nice atomosphere.
That is an easy one. Although My pet got me two '66 Catwoman costumes custom made, among the things I'd get would be Eartha Kitt's Catwoman costume she wore for the Batman series. I saw one her originals auctioned on Ebay and it sold for over $3000. I'd get the leopard print throne they used - but My pet is making one for me for Christmas anyway, yee haw.
I'd also get the dresses Audrey Hepburn wore in virtually all her films, mmmm, Givenchy!
How about Indiana Jones' whip? Or Catwoman's whip from the Halle Berry version?
I'm into aviation so I would like to buy Tom Cruise's plane from Top Gun. That much speed and power would be addictive.
