Welp, we figured it was only a matter of time, but tomorrow, you can own a piece of Purple royalty. According to Vogue, “A collection of items owned by his first wife, Mayte Garcia; former manager Owen Husney; and The Revolution guitarist Dez Dickerson is going up for auction on March 17. Fashion obsessives will now be able to lust over a number of Prince’s fabulous stage ensembles (there’s plenty of ruffles and lamé to go around). The singer’s Gibson guitar will also be for sale (starting at $60,000), as well as handwritten lyrics jotted down on yellow legal-pad paper (yours for only $7,500), and a demo tape of his songs “Just As Long As We’re Together,” “My Love Is Forever,” and “Jelly Jam.” We wonder if he still thinks she’s the Most Beautiful Girl in the World…..
