Calling all Witches-HAPPY BIRTHDAY & K.TAYLOR AUCTION RESULTS



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.
