    This is my favourite pic from the gallery.<br /><br />AN9926196gfonne-pr-0376.jpg<br /><br /> 8)<br /><br /><br />I was able to see some of MJ's outfits and belongings in Las Vegas last December.  It was an amazing experience.  There was this statue of him near the entrance of the exhibit ...<br /><br />0290_fec4.JPG?c=2624<br /><br />... and I had my picture taken with it.  I reached up and touched MJ's statue hand and someone working there who was taking my picture said "No touching!"  but I just thought "I already did, teehee!"<br />
  • I'd absolutely love to see this expo

    This brings up something that's been bugging me for some time.  And that's the swarovsky crystal jacket they made a big fuss about in TII.  I've not seen mention of it anywhere since and I can't believe it was featured in the movie so prominently and then nothing.  :WTF:<br /><br />Any thoughts?

    <br /><br />Is this the one you mean or was there another one too?<br /><br />0251_2591.JPG?c=6038<br /><br />The description is small in the pic but since I took the picture I was able to zoom in and here's what it said:<br /><br />"A nearly finished costume for Jackson's performance of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".  Unfinished jacket with sleeves detached  but present together with matching pants.  Costume fabric is a heavy weight grey fabric covered in rows of micro Swarovski crystals.  The garments additionally have hand sewn acrylic and crystal applique pieces.  Label in trousers reads Zaldy with MJ crown logo".

    <br /><br />Thanks.  I honestly don't know.  They talked about it, but I don't recall seeing it completed in the film.  So maybe?
