Fashion Takeover!
Christian Louboutin Signing at Neiman's in BH
By: the GOLDEN
There are two truths about being a fashionably fabulous high school teacher. First, I am educating the youth of our world while giving them style lessons at the very same time just by standing in front of them. Second, I am almost usually, more than I like to admit, broke. It's no secret that teachers aren't the most generously paid so I am not revealing breaking news with the type of each letter. But, it becomes quite arduous trying to satiate my inner fiery, chic way of living with the way I'm living. What's a girl to do?
So I won't lose you in my thoughts, the whole point of this post is to justify an event of fashion takeover that I CANNOT tout about because I was TOTALLY unaware of its happening only five minutes away from my apartment...without traffic. While I was grading final exams on a day I had off because of budget cuts (side eye), I missed Christian Louboutin HIMSELF at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills on Friday signing his infamous red bottoms for Louboutin Lovers across the land.
But, here's the rub. In order to have The Man put his hands to your sole, you had to buy a pair of Louboutins that day. Not ones you already have at home. FRESH. And according to a Neiman Marcus insider, there were a plethora of women who patiently waited in lines to spend BIG money in order to get that official stamp. The line to purchase shoes, (yes, purchase) was scattered from the shoe department all the way to the back of the store in the Fragrance department. Word on the street is that Monsieur Louboutin didn't finish signing until early the next morning. The event, which was only for two hours, was to celebrate the legend of Christian Louboutin's 20th Anniversary of footwear fame.

Needless to say, my wallet couldn't expand that day to get a new pair of Loubou's. So, the only spots of red I saw were the illustrious markings of a red pen scribed by a fashionably fabulous teacher who missed the boat. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!
