A racy black negligee that once belonged to Monica Lewinsky is among 32 items of hers that are up for auction in Los Angeles this week for some reason. Other items up for bids include a letter from then-President Bill Clinton to Lewinsky’s other lover at the time, her former high school teacher Andy Bleiler. Also, there’s a second signed letter, from Lewinsky to Bleiler, a drama instructor, that includes the line “am I good at lying through my teeth or what.” A rare chance to own a piece of history from Clinton’s piece on the side. The letter from Clinton to Bleiler was written on White House stationery and, at Lewinsky’s request, wished Bleiler a happy birthday in February 1996. The collection of items was submitted by Bleiler to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr at the time of the investigation into the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. Her affair with the married Bleiler came to light during that same investigation, which led to Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives. Clinton was impeached in 1998 perjury and obstruction of justice charges, but acquitted by the Senate. He completed his second term as president in 2001. Bidding for the collection is currently underway on the Nate D. Sanders website until 5 p.m. PDT on Thursday. It was at least two bids, with the highest at $2,750. Money. Well. Spent.
