They are not showing the items in the United States...but proceeds are going to things here?  Why? <br /><br />Here are the websites for the organizations listed:<br /><br />Nathan Adelson Hospice      (nice monarch butterfly on first page, lol)<br /><br />Guide Dogs of America<br /><br />Both seem like really cool organizations...glad to see them being helped.  Thanks for the post, Grace : ) <br />Blessings Always

It is about dogs leading the blind and palliative care / pain relief for the irreversibly ill - with hoax glasses on, this fits perfectly.<br /><br />The butterfly most likely is a Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes).

I'm really quite baffled on how many "original" items of Michael's clothing really exist in the common world today. I have saw sooooooo many videos & auctions of items of Michael's that was "original, red jacket, he wore in Beat It, Thriller" videos. <br /><br />I mean, I'm having a hard time even keeping track of HOW MANY really are authentic??? I mean Michael have like 50 red Beat It jackets, that are all considered authentic? <br />Everytime I see an auction, saying Michael Jackson's white beaded glove, I say.....really........again!

Guide dogs for the blind, lol.<br /><br />If you click through the gallery of pics, they have the HIStory 777 jacket as well.

Not that many outfits, really. Guess when they were unloading everything back to Neverland, a few pieces got chosen, since there's sooo many replicas.

@Grace...... thank you very much for that wonderful news, my guess is that Michael Jackson "the entertainer" has hypothetically died that's why he is auctioning all the clothes he used on his concerts all around the world to use that money to help people in need.  :moonwalk_:
