Anyone Else Have a Problem With This?
Sarah Jessica Parker helped UNICEF (the United Nation's Children's Fund) light the world's largest outdoor chandelier in New York City last night. There are 12,000 Baccarat crystals in the light sculpture, which looks like a snowflake. (Evidently, Baccarat made another group of chandeliers to be hung over Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.)
The NYC snowflake, which hangs over 57th Street, has become a NYC tradition in the past 20 years, and it has been dedicated to UNICEF since 2002.
Nice. It's dedicated to UNICEF. How... philanthropic of them. But I can't help but think that the millions of dollars spent on those chandeliers could have been put to a better purpose. UNICEF is far from a perfect organization, but.... to think of the medicines... the water purification systems... the FOOD they could buy.
That's just sad...
