Lena Dunham went through her closet and pulled out 100 items to sell, so she could donate the money to Planned Parenthood. Included is the dress she says she wore on election night to Hillary’s campaign headquarters which she said is covered in her tears. Now, I would have guessed she would have raised at least a goodly sum for her clothes. After all a seamstress could cut the dresses in half and make two dresses for a normal size woman.
I was wrong. The centerpiece dress, the one she cried on brought just $125. Now, I’m certain the dress she bought for election night cost a lot more money than that. I mean seriously, how many innocent babies will Planned Parenthood be able to murder for just $125? Of course they will sell the body parts and that will raise some serious cash.
Dunham put up over 100 pieces of her closet for sale on the site The RealReal, promising buyers a handwritten note about the history of the clothing item.
Of the “Kenzo Ruffled Print Dress” that Dunham wore on election night, she writes, “I’ll be honest and say it was selected with a different outcome than me sobbing with my head in Lady Gaga’s lap.”
“But we continue to fight, we always fight for progress and the future, for our planet, and our children,” she continued, “and this dress to me represents so much the spirit of hope that I know will get us through.”
The dress sold for $125.
Other pieces that were for sale included a $4000 Met Gala gown and a $75 pink “I’m With Her” t-shirt.
Dunham wrote on her Instagram that she was donating the proceeds from the sale to Planned Parenthood.
