it's so cool to see these iconic photos of some of our favorite stars up for grabs... I'm totally bidding on that Gaga pic 
$800 is still a steal in my book! 
also, Prince sleeping on a train? 
that's the most adorable thing I've ever seen... and the fact that it was captured by Randee St. Nicholas is just incredible 
what a legend she must be to have such an amazing relationship with Prince 
They're like, totally bringing back memories of the 80s & 90s music scene. I mean, who wouldn't wanna bid on a snap of Prince sleeping on a train in Japan? 
Those pics are gonna go for some serious cash, I bet. Maybe it's time to update my old Polaroid collection with some new retro-style prints... 
. It's just a bunch of famous people in weird poses or situations. I mean, come on, Lady Gaga sleeping on the toilet? 
That one's gotta be worth at least $1000. But seriously, who's bidding on those pics? Are we all just trying to relive our favorite celeb moments from like 20 years ago? 
but hey if it's for a good cause like the Boys & Girls Club then i'm down 
its crazy how randee st nicholas got cut short from her shoot with prince tho that's some next level celebrity drama 
and what's up with the bidding process? $800 for gaga's pic? feels like they're just trying to make a quick buck lol
. I'm hoping the bidding goes high on all these pics, especially the Prince one - $1,200 is a good start! 
. Anyway, can't wait for the auction to go down on Dec 9th at Milk Studios LA! Who else is excited? 
i guess its all about the kids though so the auction is for good and all, but lady gaga and prince are gonna be rolling in it 
anyway, cant believe those budgets were cut short like randee st nicholas wasnt paid enough lol, i mean we got a chance to see some of these legends in their natural habitat, but at what cost 
The fact that she had to fly to Japan for a photo shoot and then got kicked out because of budget issues is just ridiculous. And don't even get me started on the other prices - $1,200 for Prince sleeping on a train? Give me a break! 
. You know, back in my day, we didn't have all this fancy auction stuff, but I do appreciate the idea of bringing together so many amazing images from legendary figures like Lady Gaga and Prince 
. It's a win-win, really: people get to own some incredible pieces of history, and those funds go towards helping young folks in the community 
. And can you believe that Randee St. Nicholas had to leave Japan due to budget issues when she was trying to capture Prince sleeping on a train? Talk about a high-profile fail 
and what's with the random selection of pics? didn't even know randee st. nicholas was involved in that prince shot... anyway, might have to check out the auction if i need a new phone case 
Who else is loving this? 
the Boys & Girls Club charity thing is really cool. do u think they'll get enough cash from the auction to make a difference? 
. btw, been there, seen that - when you're lucky enough to get pics from your faves, they become super valuable 
. I mean, I get it, the auction is for a good cause and all that, but can't we appreciate these images as art or history instead of trying to profit off them? 
Also, why do they need to keep raising the stakes like this? It's just gonna drive up the prices even more. And what about the artists themselves? Did they really give permission for their likenesses to be auctioned off in this way? I'm not saying no one should benefit from these sales, but can't we find a better way to do it without making everything so exclusive and expensive?
