Crystal Harris has put
her wedding dress up for auction.
The Playboy Playmate has decided
to sell the gown and shoes she wore
when she tied the knot with Hugh
Hefner on New Year's Eve last year
and all the proceeds will go to the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
charity in the name of Hugh's long-
time secretary Mary O'Connor, who
died last weekend.
Crystal wrote on Twitter: "I am
auctioning my wedding dress with
@charitybuzz to raise money for
lymphoma in memory of Mary (sic)"
The 26-year-old blonde beauty also
included a link to the website,
where individuals can bid for the
dress.
The details of the lot read: "This is
your opportunity to own Crystal
Hefner's stunning wedding gown
and shoes from her recent wedding
to Hugh Hefner!
Mary helped the pair reconcile
"Crystal and Hugh tied the knot on
New Year's Eve in an intimate
ceremony at the Playboy Mansion.
The gown is a strapless, floor-length
mermaid-style in soft pink by
Romona Keveza, and the shoes are
designed by Aruna Seth.
"Crystal is donating this dress in
memory of her good friend, Mary
O'Connor. Mary was Hugh Hefner's
long-time assistant of 40 years, and
is credited with helping Crystal
reconcile with Hef last year,
ultimately leading to their recent
wedding. Money raised will benefit
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society in Mary's name."
The items are valued at $7 500 and
the top bid currently stands at $1
000. The auction ends on 11
February.
Mary worked as Hugh's assistant for
over 40 years and is credited with
helping Crystal get back together
with the 86-year-old Playboy owner
after she called off their original
wedding.
Hugh - who described Mary as "the
rock" of the Playboy Mansion - said:
"It's Mary O'Connor that brought
Crystal back. Crystal was miserable
and said so. Mary told Crystal to
write and tell me, which she did."
