Today Victoria writes about an enormous auction of set pieces and clothing from The L Word, which recently finished shooting its final season in Vancouver:
The auction location is 8275 Manitoba St. in Vancouver, BC. The auction starts at 10AM on Friday, March 7th, 2009. Merchandise previewing is this Friday March 6th, 2009 from noon – 6PM.
Able Auctions has posted a series of YouTube videos featuring all the stuff that’s on sale.
