Question: Whatâs the connection between an abandoned bathing suit and three cows? Answer: Nicole Kidman. The story goes this way: a bathing suit left by Ms. Kidman at a pool in Sweden is to be auctioned on Saturday to raise money to buy cows for poor families in India, Agence France-Presse reported. The suit, now owned by Zlatko Nedanovski and on display in a second-hand store in Eslov, a town in southern Sweden, will go to the highest bidder when the sale finishes on Saturday. Mr. Nedanovski, 32, bought the swimsuit for $778 after the staff at the pool turned it over to a local radio station. Ms. Kidman, an avid swimmer, forgot the suit at a pool she had reserved for her use in the town of Vanersborg in 2002 while in Sweden to film Lars von Trierâs âDogville.â Mr. Nedanovski said he hoped to raise $1,400 to buy five cows through the Swedish aid organization Erikshjaelpen. âToday,â he said, referring to an early bid, âwe have enough for three cows.â.
