Most expensive breast enhancers sold at auction

A pair of flesh coloured foam and cotton bra pads once belonging to Marilyn Monroe, sold at auction for $5,000 (£3,149) in Bedford, New Hampshire, USA on 15 April 2000. The falsies, with nipple-shaped tips, were given to the Westwood Village Mortuary, Los Angeles by her housekeeper, but were not used when they were preparing Marilyn's body for burial. Rescued from the mortuary's bin by Allan Abbott, he stored them for 37 years, finally selling them for $2,100 (£1,500) in 1999. Marilyn apparently wore them between her bra and sweater to make it appear she wasn't wearing a bra.  Only a handful of close pals knew how Marilyn cheated to boost her 36C figure.
