Crystal Harris tied the knot with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner on New Year's Eve, in a stunning pink wedding dress and now she’s planning to put the gorgeous gown to good use once again, this time by auctioning it for charity .
The intimate nuptials at the Playboy Mansion were a dream come true for Crystal, but the newlyweds' happiness has already been dampened, by the sad news of Hef's long-time assistant Mary O’Connor's death — so in a bid to Mary's memory, the beautiful blonde is selling her fabulous frock, along with her wedding shoes, and donating the proceeds to charity in Mary's name.
The floor-length mermaid-style Romona Keveza gown and the shoes are valued at $7,500.00, and are listed for sale on Charitybuzz.com.
And, it seems folks are more than willing to shell out the big bucks to get their hands on a piece of Crystal! There are already three bids, with the highest currently at $1,350.
“Mary was Hugh Hefner's longtime assistant of 40 years, and is credited with helping Crystal reconcile with Hef last year, ultimately leading to their recent wedding,” the listing caption reads.
“Money raised will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in Mary's name.”
