Giant New Year's Eve numbers delivered to Times Square
Times Square
Los Angeles - UPI
Workers delivered a giant, seven-foot-tall "15" to Times Square on Tuesday, a few days ahead of when it will be used to complete the "2015" sign that accompanies the New Year's Eve Times Square Ball.
The lighted numbers were unloaded from a flatbed truck at 46th Street and Broadway. They stuck around ground-level for some photo opportunities before being taken to the top of One Times Square.
After a few days the numbers will be added to a "2" and a "0" to complete the "2015" sign that will light up at midnight on Jan. 1, 2015, after the Times Square Ball fully drops.
The 12-foot diameter ball weighs 11,875 pounds and is covered with 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles. It was first used to herald in the New Year on Dec. 31, 1907.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.
