Freaky findings

Whilst looking on eBay today, I happened to come across the profile of He Who Must Not Be Named. Not that I was checking up on him or anything, I was just curious to see if he was still alive (he is). He hasn't bought anything interesting lately, but I got the shock of my life when I saw what he was selling.

The first item was an antique ivory wedding dress (described as a large size 12/small size 14). Well, would you ever? What on earth is he doing selling a wedding dress? There was a picture of some blonde generic-looking bird (clearly on her wedding day) standing on some steps looking over her shoulder at the camera. Now, it could have been his elder brothers girlfriend (now wife?), or it could have been someone completely different (his new wife?). Any thoughts of a cross-dressing ex-boyfriend were completely unfounded. He was always much bigger than a small size 14.

The next item he was selling were what he described as biker boots, mens size 7. It's not how I'd describe them, but there you go. They were the sort of thing I could imagine some one wearing to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. You know the sort of thing, really thick soles, and shiny metal shin pad things with matching buckles. Not that I've got anything against them, they're just not my kind of thing. But more importantly, what was he doing with them in the first place?!

He was obviously very attached to both items; the wedding dress had a Buy Now price of £399, and the interesting-looking boots a Buy Now price of £99. The thing is, even though I never had any intention of checking his profile again, I'm going to have to just to see if he sells the bloody things.
