For the GM shawl, is that the one with Hermes long on it? or is that the one that look like a long scarf? Did you notice that they are some fur ball on the shawl? it looks like it happened because too many people touched it. So I didn't take it.

What color did you get? by the time I went, they only had bright pink, green, yellow, red and orange.

Did you mean that by the time you get to the scarf it was 12:30? or 12:30 is just the time you leave the cloak room and enter? After I passed the cloak room, I waited for another 1 and a half hour. I can't believe how slow 90 section is moving. Was it like this in the morning?

I don't think it's the cloak room, the didn't stuck for that long as compared to inside the sale. or was it different in the afteroon?

Is the stock better in the morning? did you see any scarf with horse design? by the time I got in, it ran out.....

i took an iris one and a neutral color one, i didn't really check the condition as i am hurry in and hurry out! anything just speaks to me I just stuff it into the paper bag!
choosing twilly is another hard part! they all tangled up like a bunch of dried spaghetti, it's no way to find 2 identical ones in 10 mins, it's a game show challenge just right there!!

sounds like the color is better in the morning. Yes, it's impossible to choose the twilly, they are all tangled up. Now that I remember, I think control in this section is much better than the 90 section. In this section, they really administered the time strictly 10 minutes, while in the other, I think it's way too long...cauing all the ling up.

Dear Anfang: I should have listened to your suggestion. I went there today at 3 o'clock, and waited for 4 hours!! OMG, if I had known, I would not go, but by the time I realized, I was already in line for one and half hour, so I couldn't give up. The 90x90 is the craziest section, it moved really slowly, people say that you are only allowed ten minutres, but I look at my watch, they only let around 20 people in every half hour, or 20 minutes, so the line was moving extremely slow. And people was getting really impatient and the line wasn't in order, it was a little chaotic.

pretty99, are you sure they only allow 5 90's per person? I took 6, and they were going to let me, but I gave up one at the last minute. I asked at the cashier, and they said you could buy 10.

So anyway, hope the situiaton would be better tomorrow.

OMG peggyyo, the first day is always about crazyness! I heard that security guards had a lot to do yesterday, I'm going there in half an hour, I do hope it will be a little more quiet...

Yes, MYH, this really sounds crazy... I hope we're not going to queue up indefinitely this morning, I'll report back here!

Just my 2 cents: be sure to check the mousselines for pulls and defective threads (with changeants) before you buy...

This is a very wise advice. Ladies, pay a great attention to mousses (prone to runs...) and jerseys (prone to snags...) Be very careful. Better leaving empty-handed than with a damaged/defective item!
