The
New York Previews
June 6, 2004
Julien Entertainment,
the same company which managed Barbra's first wave of EBay auctions
sponsored the "Her Name Is Barbra" auction.
Among the items up for bids were the famously provocative costume
Barbra wore in "The Owl and the Pussycat" along with her sailor themed
gown from her TV special, "My Name Is Barbra."
Prior to the sale, selections from the
collection were available for public previews in New York, London and
LA. The auction was a true world-wide event with online bidders
participating in tandem with live bidders on the auction floor.

The Most Popular |
|
"My Name Is
Barbra" Sailor
Outfit:
$12,750
Barbra wore this
signature sailor-themed costume during the opening sequences of
her first TV special, My Name Is Barbra in 1965. It is a
dazzling gown in vibrant red, white and blue. The Streisand
auction gave us a rare opportunity to see this magnificent outfit
in color for the very first time. Sadly, the gown is showing signs of age, but we
know the
collector who won the auction. He vows to its proper preservation. |

The Most Expensive |
|
"The Judy Garland
Show" Midi Blouse:
$28,800
Items from
Barbra's appearance on The Judy Garland Show were the
most expensive.
This sailor top,
which Barbra
designed and
wore during the
1963 show sold
for $28,800. The
costume was
incomplete (it
was missing the
neck wrap), but
it did not deter
the most fierce
bidding of the
auction. After
all, Barbra wore
it for the most
famous duet in
television
history. If she
ever locates the
missing piece,
Barbra promises
to send it to
the new owner |
