There are two types of women in the world: those who spent this week glued to the line for Taylor Swift concert tickets and those who tuned into the clusterfuck of bidding madness that was Joan Didion’s estate sale. Those of us not stuck in the Ticketmaster queue watched in morbid fascination as a horde of Didion superfans drove the prices on her ephemera — ranging from furniture and art to desk accessories, sunglasses, and an abundance of kitchenware — up to ten times their estimated value. Didion’s (admittedly iconic) Céline sunglasses went for $27,000. Other sums are simply impossible to rationalize no matter how you slice it. For example: Two sets of blank (blank!) notebooks went for $11,000 each. If this shock you, dear reader, then brace yourself — there is so much more where this came from at the link in bio.
