Three hours in line at the mall on an early Saturday morning, and these little leggings are all I have to show for the craziness that was Versace x H&M. They ran out of all the womenswear in 45 minutes, so after my turn in the "Cage" (see picture below), I made a beeline for the menswear downstairs and found a cool alligator-print tee. I love that the print on the leggings are almost an exact replica of the famous Versace dress made even more [in]famous by Jennifer Lopez. And let's be honest, this barely-there frock helped rocket her straight up to the A-List. Through diffusion, these leggings are that dress... in my head.

Although my awesome shopping partner, Randy & I, got to the mall at the red-eyed time of 5:45am, we were already about 90th in line.
This is all that was left after the first group of shoppers did their thing in the Cage. By the time the third group went (my group), there was only an eighth of what you see here, which was nothing. In the end, I feel all the better for the experience. Nobody stood a chance with the gypsies who set up camp at 7pm yesterday.

Sorry it didn't go quite as you hoped.
You didn't miss anything except to see people at their lowest points... the animals even knocked down the cute display they had set up. I knew I was in trouble when I saw size 14 women picking up size 2 dresses!
