Ebay Auction for Lana Turner’s Hair Accessories

My heart really skipped a beat when I came across this ebay auction. I was randomly searching, as I often do for things I don’t need, but just want really badly. And after typing in a search for anything with vintage hair in the title, I stumbled upon what appears to be auctions by Lana Turner’s daughter for some estate items including some of her hair accessories.

I almost started to weep. Lana Turner is a vintage hair icon to me. To own something that she wore in her hair would be such an amazing treat. Granted, the items are not going cheap. I thought I would share with everyone, so if you felt the same way I did, you could weep a little too.

Her daughter writes about Lana, “My Mother, Lana Turner had a passion for jewelry. She loved her rhinestones as much as her diamonds. Her costume jewelry collection was so large she had to keep it in custom made dressers that lined her walls.”

The description reads, “This hair head band black Cock feathers ornament is from the 1940’s and was worn in many films and photos. It is hand made for her by Rex, famous milliner to the stars in Beverly Hills.”

“There are feathers shooting everywhere. Glamorous and very Movie Star of the 40s…… She would wear this in her hair and anywhere else she could think of ……Worn in films and photos. As a child I remember watching Judy Garland and Mother playing with her hair ornaments.”

Can you imagine!? Your mom and Judy Garland playing dress up with pretty jewelry like they are little girls in their own mother’s or grandmother’s costume jewelry collection? I know you can. We all did that right?
