Recovering perfection addict Courtney Love (who recently combined forces with one of the world's most talented airbrush artists for this NSFW nude portfolio in Pop Magazine) has told the music website Spinner.com she's tired of holding on to Kurt Cobain's mildew-gathering collection of grungy sweaters, flannel shirts, novelty sunglasses, and the like, and has decided to put the entire collection up for auction at Christie's:

"I'm going to have a Christie's auction," she tells Spinner. "[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter [14-year-old Frances Bean] doesn't need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts ... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to 'Teen Spirit' — that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just f***ing sell."

Love says her friends are supportive of the idea. "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."

While the beneficiaries of the auction have yet to be determined, at least a portion of the proceeds are rumored to be earmarked for the Hey, You Still Owe Us $180,000 in Rehab Spa Fees! Foundation, a pet charity of Love's. The rest of the money, culled from the deep pockets of legions of navel-gazing Kurt-obsessives who happen to have a couple hundred thou lying around to blow on a babydoll dress from the "In Bloom" video, will almost certainly be put to equally constructive use.
