Today was one of those days when the stars were aligned, the witches were casting their spells and Alexander was looking down from the heavens and smiling.
It is a very special day not only in the auction world...
This post is dedicated to my dear friend Suzanne (aka PunkglamQueen) who happens to be the biggest Alexander McQueen fan that I know.
Today is her birthday and for other reasons reasons know that this collection is also very special for her.
Happy Birthday Suzanne!
and a big congratulations to Kerry for such an exciting auction.
