BTW, speaking of store window decorations, street decorations are always so cool... and this year, on the 3 main blocks of Rodeo Drive, they've got crystal chandeliers instead of street lamps, in the middle grassy area. We're not talking your normal, typical chandeliers, these are Baccarat!! Apparently, since it's Baccarat's 240th anniversary this year, they're featuring 20 crystal chandeliers (over $1 million worth!!) on those three blocks, until right after New Year's. It looks absolutely gorgeous!
It's funny, I saw these on Sunday, and that night, I heard a Lexus commercial on the radio, listing all these luxurious, unattainable and ridiculous things, the point being that a Lexus is just as luxurious, but not as ridiculously unattainable. And one of these quotes in the commercial was: "Wouldn't it be nice if we had crystal chandeliers for street lamps?" and I thought it was so funny that now there ARE. Nothing is too ridiculous for Beverly Hills, I tell ya. Nothing is ever too much. Crazy world we live in, isn't it?
Anyway, if I find a picture of the street online, I'll post it. But I don't think there'll be pictures yet... maybe after the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons' tree lighting ceremony. I think that's next week.
