Million Crystal Body
It takes one million Swarovski crystals to completely cover the human body - assuming that the body you want to cover is that of a 20-year old model named Chantal. Million Crystal Body is an auction organized by eBay specialist Marion von Kuczkowski in which the million 2-mm crystals covering Chantal are sold for €1 each. As more of Chantal is revealed, her photos will be updated on the website.
Some might call this a global art project and some might call it something else, but it certainly is an interesting idea. The last stones in the auction will not be sold at the fixed €1 price, but will be auctioned via eBay. The proceeds of those final bids will go to an as-yet-unnamed charity. The person who wins the last crystal will have it personally delivered anywhere in the world by Chantal herself.

the beautiful photos motivate buyers to make Chantal visible in all her beauty by purchasing some of the stones.

I am really getting tired of these scams for money or computers or whatever. It is like cyberbegging practically. This is one of the more unique spinoffs I have seen but still seems petty that only the eBay auction money will go to charity.
Here's a concept, why don't we all just donate a dollar to our favorite charity everytime we get the urge to wire it to some loser for nothing?

Too much attention for Chantal. It's call for growing self-importance.

With all the crack-pot charaties for unworthy causes out there, donate to a yet to be named charity? I think not!
