As the popular “Princess Diaries” author Meg Cabot bids adieu to her series of novels, she also raises money for an incredibly worthy cause. On January 9th at 7:00 pm, the New York Public Library hosted Ms. Cabot as she dished about her 10th and final novel, FOREVER PRINCESS. During the event, she signed copies of her latest book as well as unveiled 29 one-of-a-kind collectors’ tiaras designed by various celebrities, authors and designers including one from our very own Leslie Dessner of the Echo Design Group (see below).
The tiaras, hand decorated by Vera Wang, Tommy Hilfiger, Austin Scarlett from Project Runway, Bobbi Brown, Nicole Miller and others are currently being auctioned off at http://tiaras.cmarket.com through the end of the month with proceeds benefiting essential teen programs at The New York Public Library’s 87 branches. Be sure to check these beauties out before bidding ends on the 31st!
