It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a “Superman” T-shirt signed by the new film’s stars Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh.
And it will take more than kryptonite to stop the second annual Jergens natural glow Celebrity Auction, which has teamed with celebrity stylist Jessica Paster to gather 24 goods that will be available starting Wednesday through the end of the month.
But don’t use your X-ray vision to find the auction house; this sale takes place exclusively on eBay.
Yet, if superheroes aren’t your game, a sampling of the other star-studded items includes:
– Oliver People’s sunglasses signed by Gwen Stefani.
– Jessica Simpson cowboy boots signed by Simpson.
– Giorgio Armani silk dress, worn and signed by “Desperate Housewives” star Marcia Cross.
– Goldsign jeans signed by Mariah Carey.
– Brette Sandler swimsuit signed by Ellen Pompeo of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Learn makeup techniques
With Mayor Richard Daley’s recently announced Fashion Advisory Council hoping to up-dress Chicagoans, can a little makeup magic for the locals be far behind?
Dior makeup artist Pati Dubroff lends her expertise to the State Street crowd and beyond during a master class designed to take the guesswork out of blush.
That’s right, participants will follow along–with brushes and products–while Dubroff offers application tips. The session starts at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. or 5 p.m. Friday at Marshall Field’s, 111 N. State St. The class’ $100 fee can be redeemed for Dior products.
Ready for some personal attention? Attend one of the free one-on-one backstage beauty sessions with a Dior artist, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Reservations are required for both events. To schedule an appointment, call 312-781-5445.
