It's a joke people! Look closely at the guy....it's a doll!

It says in the listing it is a doll and in the description. I don't think anyone here thinks it is a real person

That one was here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4146756343#ebayphotohosti

But the truth has been revealed:
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2540131
It was the eBay auction that made 8 million people laugh and sold one
wedding dress. It contained some truth, some fiction and made seller
Larry Star an overnight media sensation, with a couple of movie offers
and a lot of explaining to do.

"It was satire," Star said Thursday when asked if the story behind the
auction of his ex-wife's wedding dress was true. "Let's just say it was
satire."

At one point the bidding went well over $10,000 for the $1,200 dress.
When it became clear that some bids were bogus or from people caught up
in bidding frenzy, eBay stepped in to help Star eliminate nonlegitimate
bidders.

Final tally: More than 6 million visitors looked at the auction by the
time it closed, resulting in 113 official bidders with the dress selling
to "absolutsth," whose eBay About Me page tells us his name is Barry and
he likes music. And wouldn't you know, the winning bidder was trying to
get out of paying.

When the Chronicle asked him if the dress was really his ex-wife's, he
sidestepped.

"I got the wedding dress, I wanted to get rid of it. I was going to burn
it and had the idea of selling it on eBay. I needed to sell it on eBay
with all the other dresses on there, and I needed to make it stand out."

"It's satire. You know, people are blowing this thing out of
proportion," he hedged. "I wrote it because it's funny. I've been
married twice. I'm not lying saying I haven't spoken to the ex-wife in
years. I don't know where she is."

That's apparently the first ex-wife, because he and the second ex-wife
divorced in 2003, according to the Seattle Times. Their divorce came,
the paper reported, after fourth degree domestic violence charges were
filed against him after he and his wife had an argument. According to
the police report, she hit him and threw a guitar at him, he pushed her
and she fell, scraping her face. They went together to the police to
report it. The case was later dismissed, but the couple divorced last
June.

And, despite the hair crack, neither of his exes is from Texas.
