Today: Get a regular glove.

My dreams of obtaining The King of Pop’s bedazzled glove have been dashed.  Hoffman Ma, a hotelier from Macao, “won” that bad boy for $420,000 (his high bid of $350,000, plus commission).  MJ wore the sparkler the same day he debuted his signature moonwalk in 1983.  I was one and presumably debuting a regular walk.

If the glove fits, you must... moonwalk. (Photo via LA Times)

I mostly just need a new regular pair of gloves, and $420K is just a bit high… especially for only one glove.  Do you think Mr. Ma will bedazzle a second white glove, so he has a matching, functional pair?  Probably unlikely.  Waaaait a minute!  Amazon sells knock offs?  I might just buy one or two online.  $4.99 seems about right.  Maybe I could turn around and auction one off to Mr. Ma!

OK.  I need to stop.  In fact, I probably shouldn’t have started.

Also On Tap for Today:

  • We are finally, finally moving into our new office space.  All my pieces of flair are packed up.
  • Clark’s first trip to obedience class.  Obey my dog!

What would you bid for one of my old socks?

    I would bid $0.00 for one of your socks, but I like your blog!

    Ooh, my niece (age 11) “discovered” MJ after his death. Maybe a $4.99 glove for her is in the works…maybe.

    I think I’m good with socks right now. Do you have any cast-off earmuffs?
