DI-SIZED CLOTHES NEED A NEW HOME.

It's the dress of your dreams. An outfit to Di for. A gown fit for an almost-but-not-in-this-lifetime queen.

OK, so it's been worn once or twice before. But Diana herself, the ex-princess of Wales, owns the torso that it was draped over, so how bad can it be? (We mean, REALLY ... do you think she doesn't bathe or something?)

Yes, yes, yes. We're talking about the Diana collection, those fab-o-rama ``oh-this-little-things?'' from her very own closet that will be auctioned for charity at Christie's on June 25.

We've heard rumblings that the truly snooty of society wouldn't be caught DEAD in anyone's sartorial leavings, much less those of the royal (or former royal) family.

They say the only ones willing to pop for the duds are those with a royal fetish or the nouveau riche trying to buy some class.

It's vulgar, they say, like ``old roast beef.''

Hey, we say don't knock yesterday's prime rib if you haven't tried it with creamed horseradish.

We at Take 5 Central think that owning a Di dress could have some merit. After all, you never know when you might need to frouf up your image.

But enough about us. What would YOU do. If you had an extra coupla bucks to spend on a famous little schmatte, would you want Diana's? Why?

Or if not, why not?

And if the contents of Diana's closet doesn't float your boat, whose clothes WOULD you want to own? (And we want to know why, of course. Doesn't that almost go without saying?)

You may respond to this burning issue in a number of ways: Leave us a voicemail message at [phone], fax us at [phone], or e-mail us at LALIFENEWSAOL.COM.

Inquiring minds are DESPERATE to know. And we need to know soon. Like Monday.

So, get on it already.
