G L A M O R O U S

"Flyin' first class......up in the sky.
Poppin' champagne......livin' the life........
In the fast lane..........."

For some (unknown) reason, I received an embossed invite to the sneak preview of Louis Vuitton's holiday collection this year. The invite was for Wednesday evening at the Fifth Avenue Store at 7pm. A chance to be 'glitterati' for an evening? I was so there! I asked around but, alas, had no one with whom I could attend. And then, last minute, KDP called and asked if I was still going solo. I said yes & she was actually free & wanted to go with me. And off we went.

We met up & hopped a subway to 57th street. We walked over to the closed LV store and saw that the window displays were covered so that "mere pedestrian types" could not catch a glimpse of what was in store for the holiday rush. People were asking a woman, who was standing outside with a clipboard, how they could get in to this soiree, and she turned them away.

Exclusive!

KDP & I approached the woman, gave my name, and were ushered in to the foyer where we were met by model men with trays of Moet champagne. It was so tasty! We wandered through the store, sipping and browsing. One of the models saw that our glasses were almost empty and he was quick to refresh them for us.

Needless to say, three glasses later, I was feeling pretty good. The store was beautiful, the accessories stunning (and, sadly, not anywhere near my price range....where is my rich husband?) and I was buzzed.

On a Wednesday night.
