Put yourself in Whitney's bra

Whitney Houston is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of clothing as well as instruments and props from her stage shows next week at an Irvington, New Jersey event. The recently-separated diva owes tens of thousands of dollars to the taxman, so the sale should provide a much-needed boost to her cashflow. Among the items are thirteen Dolce and Gabbana bustiers, four velvet bodysuits, several evening gowns, pianos, keyboards, drums, a slot machine and a leather whip, as well as "16 assorted Bobby Brown music awards." Houston's rep insists the sale has nothing to do with the diva's financial issues, and says, "Many artists get rid of the old stage equipment and costuming they don't need anymore. That is what is happening."
