Elton’s Closet
Manolo says, Ayyyyyyy! The little peoples, they will have the chance to the buy the Elton John’s hand-me-downs!
GARAGE SALE: Elton John and hubby David Furnish are cleaning out their closets for charity. Elton’s Closet is a massive five-day public sale of clothing and accessories from his personal wardrobe. The makeshift store will be open to the public on the concourse level of Rockefeller Center today through Saturday. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Yes, it is for the good cause, but judging from the flippity-floppitys on the display here , you would have to be the person of the “special” taste to wear the shoes that had previously been on the body of Elton John.

How about the Pinball Wizard baseball jacket that lit up the name ELTON?
Or did that one get sold in the prior garage sale?

Didn’t Elton have a fire sale when he was close to broke a few years ago?

Wardrobe designed perhaps by the Tiny Dancer? Seamstress for the band….
I somehow cannot picture the Sir Elton in the flippity-floppitys-or the Birkies with the peace signs. The hubby’s contribution to the effort?

Does Merv Griffin know about this? Those sandals look like totally his style.

Yikes. I thought it was a picture of the good will.

If I remember correctly, all the fun stuff was already purged from the closet with “Reg Strikes Back.” Elton John has been stylistically rather plain since. (And I also adore Susanna’s reply!)
