But, why?

There are probably plenty of things that Sarah Jessica Parker asks of her staff. To have her bottled water just below room temperature. Never to mention Sex and the City 2. You know, the usual? But there's one other thing that SJP apparently asks of her staff that's got us more than a bit confused. And that's that they regularly refill very small 1.75 ounce containers with Vaseline using cutlery so her children can continue to use them. There are of course stranger things that Sarah Jessica Parker could ask her staff to do, but this request is so bizarre, so niche, so Sarah, that we couldn't help but just ask... what? Why can't her children just use normal sized containers of Vaseline? What's so wrong with the container that Vaseline usually comes in itself? How chapped are these kids' lips that this is a request SJP must ask of her staff? So many questions. So little time. The news came from comedian Michelle Collins, who took it upon herself to read out some of Sarah Jessica Parker's emails at her comedy show. According to her, one of her friends works for SJP and her husband, Matthew Broderick, and that was how she came to have the emails (and the Vaseline-based request) in her possession. As well as filling the very small tubs, staff are also expected to handwash the cutlery with soapy water before being putting them in the dishwasher afterwards. SJP also asked that staff refill her 14-year-old son's face and body wash in his shower regularly. The amount of product left in these containers should be checked every day and should not be replaced until they have run out entirely. Seems like a lot of work for some little containers. But we guess if Sarah Jessica Parker's so concerned about the environment, maybe her (or her staff, tbh) constantly refilling things is her little way of giving back. Still doesn't make that email any less bizarre though.
