Monica Lewinsky Offered $1 Million by Las Vegas Museum For Blue Bill Clinton Dress
Monica Lewinsky has a standing offer of $1 million from the Las Vegas Erotic Heritage Museum for the blue dress she infamously wore during her long ago sexual encounter with then President Bill Clinton.
The New York Daily News reports the 41-year-old Lewinsky has yet to publicly comment on the offer, a four-fold increase over the $250,000 museum executives originally extended to her in May of 2014.
As a White House intern for over a year beginning in 1995, Lewinsky and the president engaged in what he later admitted was an "inappropriate relationship" leading to his impeachment.
Back in February, Heritage executive director Victoria Hartmann penned a letter to Lewinsky expressing, "She wants to make the blue dress a part of an exhibit examining the private relationships of people in power, gender dynamics (and) politics."
The ongoing exhibit also features items of an "intimate nature" purported to belong to Gennifer Flowers, an actress who also claims to have once engaged in an affair with Clinton.
The offer to Lewinsky came less than a month after she wrote a soul-searching essay for Vanity Fair about her time and experiences related to her stint in the Oval Office.
In the essay, she openly reflected on her struggles to find employment in the communications field after her name became synonymous with the tabloid-fueled scandal that was.
"It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," she wrote. She later added, "I was never 'quite right' for the position."
Whether that's true or not, Hartmann clearly feels Lewinsky's experiences hold great significance. In her letter to the one-time TV personality she opined of her potential involvement in the exhibit, "It will serve to bring awareness to the complexities of sexual relationships and how they are perceived by Americans, especially when it involves those we put our trust in as leaders."
