Everyone knows the story of Monica Lewinsky, President Bill Clinton's then-23-year-old intern with whom he had an "improper relationship." But, Clinton wasn't the only married man stepping out with Lewinsky.

Her high school drama instructor, Andy Bleiler, admitted to starting an affair with Lewinsky in 1992 (after she started college, which makes it a little bit better, I guess?), continuing partway through her affair with the president.

Letters, clothes, autographed pictures of the Clintons and other gifts from Lewinsky (or, as she signed her name, "Monstreeka") to Bleiler and his family were reviewed during the investigation about the affair with Clinton. Now, Kate Nason (Bleiler's now ex-wife), has offered up the goodies for history nerds and Clinton fangirls to fight over in an online auction For just a little bit more than $3,000, it can all be yours.

The auction ends at 5 p.m. on Thursday. If you win, I'm willing to buy one of the letters off you.
