Lisa developed a serious couture habit during her decade with Burton, but there were a few remnants from her death-rock days. Stacks of Prada sweaters and scores of Manolo Blahniks rubbed against wigs, shocking pink bras (34D, if you must know) and a purple-and-black leopard spotted kitty hat.

Other items of interest: a giant copper pumpkin with spigot ($325), purple divan decorated with Burtonesque skulls ($20,000), a massage-table-meets-jungle-gym sex bed with sheepskin cuffs (don't ask).
