Ohh that quote from Sammy is spot on. That Destiny tour must have made a lot of money for the producers.

I see Michael has that lace pattern black jacket that I fell in love with. I wonder who has that now?

 

[MJ*PP]

^ probably this gaga woman or somewhere being auctioned off. :ermm:
I really hope its in his childrens possession
But wow what a concidence!? I went to my favourite record store today and went through boxes of vinyls, and found a very old copy of Off The Wall. The paper was pretty damaged but I took it as it was an original copy from when it came out on vinyls.

Wow great find
Michael didn't leave his wardrobe to his children except for the things he kept in his own storage, which the Estate has and is holding for his children. For the most part we can see MJ gave many of his prized costumes away. Such as the Beat It Jacket from the video. he gave to a sick child that visited the ranch. I think he had big heart and did this a lot more than we know of. Most of these will wind up in a museum. I think estate will eventually have a place to display all Michael's things, maybe once all the court cases and litigation dies down. They will have time to pursue these things.

Yea I got real excited while finding it
You know, now that youre saying he didnt leave the famous pieces, thats fine. But he DID leave his personal belongings like the awards, his collection of books, records etc and clothes he wore daily, personal photoalbums right? In the Estates possession? But display all his things you mean those jackets not the things I stated above, i hope?

 

[Petrarose]

MJPP great find indeed. I got an e-mail about a box set of vinyls, from Japan with a bunch of Michael's songs. I am not responding because that is the company associated with the official MJ website & I don't like the way they do business.

 

[MJ*PP]

^Ah you got that mail too? haha. The whole website isn't doing justice to Michael. I don't find their service isn't good at ALL.

for your peace of mind the Estate has many of MJ's Iconic costumes I saw them at the fanfest in Vegas . and MLB also donated some more to them from his collection.
