So for those of you who didn't know, Versace has collaborated with H&M - a very bright, colorful, and HAUTE line. And as the personal stylist for New Orleans rising star, and the undisputed Queen of Bounce - “Big Freedia” what better way to make her first red carpet appearance and national television debut, than in Versace!
The night began with me racing off from work to go stand in line before 5pm. I first went by the H&M on Powell St. in San Francisco, but by 3 pm there was over 100 people in line already. So I mashed out to San Jose, the H&M on Santana Row, one of my favorite places to shop and dine. I got there around 9pm there was only about 10 of us, in line at the time, I thought, OK THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT! I was wrong. It wasn’t great. It was cold, and crazy! Next, security comes by and says we are on private property and there is no loitering allowed! We were instructed to leave. We did. Only to return by 2 am, (LOL….) and about 50 people in line this time. More people, more noise, more chaos, and more coffee please! We were instructed to leave a second time. This time they instructed us to leave and not come back until 5a.m! By the time I came back 75 people were in front of me! Needless to say, I got my wrist- band, and I was happy with my allotted 15 minutes of shopping. I ran in and grabbed exactly what I set out to get. After 9 hours in line, 3 cups of coffee, and a lot of dedication I walked out with 2 bags full of (describe fits) I was pleased.
MTBW team making `ish happen! I love it, I live for it, and its more than my passion, it’s my life!
And remember…..Make up Talks and Beauty Walks……..down the red carpet!!! “All hail the Queen Diva!”
Thanks for reading! Happy Shopping :)
