Bored? Why Not Buy Tony Soprano’s Clothes?
Then buzz it up

You know the feeling: it’s a big night out and you want to dress to impress. But all your best clothes are in the laundry, and you can’t go out naked again - you always seem to draw all that nasty ‘police attention’, and besides, it’d be the third time this week. How you wish - oh, how you yearn and pray - that you could look like an overweight gangster who may or may not be dead and whose life neatly doubles up as a slow-burning metaphor for various aspects of American national identity.
Well … now you can!
All you have to do is head over to New York City on the 25th June for a Christies Pop Culture auction, the proceeds of which will go to a charity that benefits wounded U.S troops. Not only will you be donating your money to a good cause, but you can help yourself to Tony Soprano-related items including:
‘ … a bloody outfit worn when Soprano was shot at the beginning of season six by Uncle Junior in a fit of dementia, which is estimated to fetch up to $3,000, and his signature white tank top, light blue striped boxer shorts, striped short robe and leather scuffs that could make $1,500.’
Incidentally, if anyone is thinking of going to this auction, and they’re by any chance selling the costume that Adrianna wore in that episode where she played tennis and bent over a lot, let us know. We’ll gladly place an offer. Only, you know, because we need it for research purposes. Seriously. We’re writing a film about a female tennis superstar and placing that outfit on display in the corner of the room would provide a gripping visual ‘imagination point.’
Oh, okay. The truth: we’ve got a kidnapped hooker in the basement. She’s a big fan of Steffi Graf and it’s her birthday soon.
God, we’re so generous sometimes.
