Rants and Raves!

Last night I went to the Fox Theater in Atlanta to see my wonderful cousin, Colt Prattes, perform in A Chorus Line National Tour! The show was fantastic, and Colt was amazing! He plays the part of Al, a Broadway dancer auditioning for a part in. . .the chorus line!

A 2 hour show with no intermission, the show is very different than other musicals. The cast spends 90% of the show in a call line at an audition while the director goes down the line asking questions regarding each characters backgrounds. The audience hears the stories of each character, and why they decided to be a dancer. The show covers topics from homosexuality to gonorrhea to tits and ass. This is one show you don't want to miss!

If you are in Atlanta be sure to get tickets for the show, they will be at the Fox Theater through Sunday, and then they are off to Washington, DC. If you aren't in Atlanta check out their website for shows in a city near you!

Rants, Raves and Red Soles

I'll start with the Raves from my day. . .which would be that Saks Fifth Avenue is currently having a FANTASTIC sale! Currently almost all reduced items are an additional 50% off! This is a perfect time to score a DVF Wrap Dress for less that $100. . .just make sure that the item is something you can hold on to for a while! Check out some of my favorite finds for under $100 below!

Saks Fifth Avenue

Now on to my Rants. . .although I was thoroughly impressed with the sales at Saks today, I will say that I was UNIMPRESSED with their customer service skills! This is the second time I have visited the Saks store at Tysons Galleria in McLean, Virginia and not received any help from a sales person! I was in the store for 25 minutes, weighted down by clothes across 3 different departments, and not ONE salesperson approached me! When I'm paying Saks Fifth Avenue prices, I expect a little respect and help from the sales department!

And now. . .the Red Soles! This was the single best moment of my shopping experience (followed by sadness as they were the wrong size!) I stumbled across the most glorious pair of Christian Louboutin Yoyospina shoes (size 37) on sale for $150!!!! Yes, you read that right, Louboutin's for under $200!!! If they hadn't been peep toe, I seriously might have cut off my toes to fit them in the shoes! The sales lady searched the Saks system and no other Saks in country had these shoes in my size! (38.5 or 39) :(

I managed to find this pair on EBAY. . .but they aren't quite my size. . .and are still $375! Anyone that knows me knows  that Louboutins are my FAVORITE! Look for a post later this week about me getting to MEET Mr. Louboutin and having him sign a pair of my shoes!!!!! (all time best day ever!)
