alec baldwin is the proud new owner of this kim mccarty watercolor. last night i watched mr. 30 rock make the winning bid of $35,000 at artwalk ny – an auction to raise money for the coalition for the homeless – the parent organization of first step.

needless to say, i did not raise a paddle, but did enjoy nibbling on mini hot dogs, sipping wine, viewing art, listening to carey lowell (richard gere’s wife) speak and hob nobbing with new york socialites. most of all, it was wonderful to see a large, supported fundraiser raising money for such an important organization. i hope many new yorkers’ lives will be made better because of it.
