I won the Melissa Lima dress!!!

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 13, 2006 8:47 PM CDT in News

Okay, remember how I posted about the auction of Jose Lima's wife's dress?

This dress?

Well, I ended up winning the bidding.

I just bid on it as a goof, figuring I'd be out-bid.

But since I won, I get the dress, and an 8" X 10" photo of the famous picture, with an inscription and autograph from Melissa Lima.

But...I don't know what to ask her to write...

Well, for that matter, I don't know what to do with the dress, either, although I think that, at some point in the offseason, I'll make my brother Ben put it on, and take a few photos in it, and post them on here, so you can see how he compares to Mrs. Lima.

But anyway...I'm opening it up for suggestions. What should I request be written on the photo?

Morris time

have her write her bra size, or "sure, they're real, wink wink"

For the photo, have someone take a picture of Ben wearing the dress while YOU sing the national anthem

by t ball on Sep 13, 2006 8:49 PM CDT 0 recs

$150?

well, i guess thats not a lot for a famous dress, but still a lot for a joke.

but great buy. how does the wife feel about such purchases?

by ab03 on Sep 13, 2006 8:51 PM CDT 0 recs

I just told her

And showed her the blog entry, and the suggestion that I take a picture of me singing the national anthem with Ben in the dress next to me (an outstanding idea, btw). Her response: "I find nothing about any of this amusing."

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 13, 2006 8:53 PM CDT up 0 recs

I was about to suggest that

You should re-stage the whole photograph. That would not only be funny, if you did it well it would be art. I used to make a living doing photography and will be in Houston the last weekend of the month...

Don't know where to find a ballpark setting, though.

My aunt

She's a professional photographer...and she'd be down for this sort of craziness, so I am thinking I'll recruit her for this task.

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 13, 2006 8:57 PM CDT up 0 recs

You will be famous.

That picture will go around the internet at least as much as the original! Have Ben wear obnoxiously large fake bazoongas and obnoxiously large ugly sunglasses

by t ball on Sep 13, 2006 9:00 PM CDT up 0 recs

Fake

HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS REAL?

It just seems like it would be too easy to fake this. And when I perused the auction the first time I did not see any glaring assurances of authenticity.

Although I guess, who would even fake this, since it's not very famous to begin with?

Who cares?

My ex

works at Mentor, and gets QA rejects which she uses for icepacks. Maybe we can come up with a pair of 850 cc humongousish inserts for Ben.

The auvction did get 80k views

Surprised then the bidding wasn't higher.

It's nice this guy will get his sister to sign the Wal mart dress also.

What about Adam?

Shouldn't we locate a Dodgers uniform for him?

Personally I think this is hilarious, the pic will definitely become a hit.

Awesome

You should put your firm's name on the photo, too. When it hits the internets you need to get some mileage out of it, you know!

Oh good grief

I thought the people suggesting the high bidder was Meno were joking. But I suspected as much.

Anyways how do you know this is not fake?

Yup, a photo.

But Ben has to hold Adam's arm, and Adam has to wear an ill-fitting Dodgers uniform.

Who should fill the part of the kid?

by PatrickWalz on Sep 13, 2006 9:07 PM CDT 0 recs

Better yet

Somebody E-mail Chuck Morgan to see if Adam can borrow one of Hank Blalock's uniforms.

It needs to be a kids league uniform.

by tomorrow

this will be all over the internet, since the very fact it was up for auction in the first place was blogged and posted a lot. You must take that picture, Adam, and furthermore, after you get her autograph, you must send HER a copy of the picture of you and Ben, autographed, of course.

by t ball on Sep 13, 2006 10:19 PM CDT 0 recs

The dress

I don't know what's creepier: The fact that you bid on and won and dress that you'll never use, or the fact that you paid $152.50 plus shipping for a dress that you'll never use.

Adam's past ebay purchases

My first post ever, but I needed to point it out.

Did anyone else look at adam's feedback?

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=adman71&iid=330025821190

Two items are marked as private, which almost always means porn in ebay speak.

So after this auction, 50% of adam's ebay winnings are either porn or busty women's clothing. This answers many questions about the man behind the blog, but brings up oh so many more.

by ksf42001 on Sep 13, 2006 11:59 PM CDT 0 recs

Nah

one of the "private" sellers only sells old DVD's (none of which I've seen are porn,) and computer games.

Hey Adam,
have the signature be "Dear Adam, I farted in it just before we shipped it. Smell the ass area.

Love!
Melissa"

Computer games

I've bought some packs of old EA games off of ebay before, so that may be it.

I don't think I've bought any porn off of ebay, though.

Hilarious

but unlikely. Few gave up as many as Lima-time.

I once had my car repaired in Houston, and the mechanic asked if I wanted to see Jose Lima's car. We go back into the lot, and there is this souped up black SUV with everything in it. And it was completely totalled... by Mrs. Lima. Don't know if it is the same Mrs. Lima, but if it was, I can see what may have been getting in the way of the steering wheel...

by JBImaknee on Sep 14, 2006 10:18 AM CDT up 0 recs

I took a lot of commentary about how I looked in the dress that day.

I took the dress off.

It's yours now. Please use it in some way befitting it's day in the sun with the anthem.

If I see Ben wearing it, I'm coming after you both.

Regards,
Melissa

How about this:

Dear Adam:

Love the idea for using the dress in a new picture. But if Ben is really going to play me in it, and look even remotely convincing, he's going to have to get a breast reduction.

Hugs and kisses,

Mrs. Lima
