It's run by the Human Rights campaign which I donate to regularly.  They do some good work and I trust them completely..

Anyone can contact them if needed.

I'm *really* tempted to jump into the pool hip deep on those leather gloves.  O, to be a glove upon that hand, that I might..... never mind.  They're up to $610 right now - already a little rich for my blood, being the tightwad by nature that I am.  Still, it's fun to watch the money knowing it's going to a good cause.
No more beans!

Cassie's tube top outfit, right down to the tall strappy sandals she takes off to stick her feet in Ennis's lap is only $61 right now.  Someone tell Flashframe777, he always had a thing for it.

I'm a-stickyin' this thread! :)

Lureen's barrel-racin' outifit (red and white shirt!  kerchief!  big belt buckle!) is only $115 right now.  Hat separate.

Fantastic HRC eBay Auction of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN WARDROBE!

If any of you try to outbid me on Linda Cardellini's TUBE TOP OUTFIT, you're going to regret it!!!

http://stores.ebay.com/Brokeback-Mountain-Hollywoodvault1

***My note sent to the seller: 

What a great Brokeback auction!  Of course I will be bidding.

Just a suggestion, since this is such a great cause.  What Brokeback Mountain fans would really, really love are the PROPS from the movie, i.e., the Bettermost Beans cans, the washtub, the Old Rose Whiskey bottle, the sign on Aguirre's office door, THE BLANKETS!!! (lol), the postcards, the newspaper, the salt and pepper shakers...

Heath and Jake wore the same size pants!  34X36! :)

i spent quite a bit of time on that auction site yesterday, looking through all the stuff.  The JAMMY PANTS are there.  And Mrs. Twist's entire outfit.  And Jake's two "fat suits."  And Lureen's horseshoe shirt and horseshoe jewlry from "that teacher don't like me."  And of course Ennis's gloves.............

Hey Ellemeno,

I posted yesterday about the auction...guess this thread was here before.

I've already warned anyone who plans on bidding against me on that TUBE TOP outfit -- you're gonna regret it.  :-)))

No, I don't want to wear it...much.  It's more of an inside joke from the first screening of BBM I went to with my best friend.  He's a very handsome, muscular man.  When Linda Cardellini walks up to the jukebox to put in a coin, he leaned into me and said, "I wore that same outfit last night."  I howled!!!

So, you see, the outfit means something profoundly heartwarming to me.  lol.
