Snap up your 15 minutes of fame

What better gift for the Hollywood-obsessed than actually owning a little piece of it?

It’s a Wrap, which calls itself the “the only company on the planet” that lets the general public buy actual wardrobe and props from movie and TV sets, has two Los Angeles brick-and-mortar locations and an online site from which you can pick up some nifty finds for the holidays.

Inventory is constantly changing and since many items are one-of-a-kind, this isn’t for the shopping-hesitant. It also may not be for the fuller-figured, since –- as we learned in “The Devil Wore Prada” -- size 6 is the new 14 and many Hollywood starlets consider celery stalks a full-on meal.

The website very thoughtfully suggests that some items might be framed and displayed as home decorations.

A recent item from the website was a Levi's faded denim miniskirt with a custom ruffle, worn on the set of “Hannah Montana.” The waist measures 15 inches and it’s going for $115. If that seems pricey, you don’t have a 10-year-old.
