Christian Louboutin sample sale he-said-she-said

Update from a commenter! It *may* be worth the effort to try and get in for sizes 35-37. Hmmm, do I dare? And going on since Monday?? Why were those Glamour girls tweeting about 6:30 AM or some crap like that? I would just say if you want to go, be prepared! They know that 'public' day is tomorrow, so they might be extra-vigilant in minding their guest list.
"just got back - if you are a size 35 - 37 you so in luck. very hard to get in - they really want your name on the list. but at 2 there was no line out the door.

also - it has actually been going on since monday."
Update: FYI, I have it from a very good source that they will not be letting the public in to this sale. If you're not on the list, you're not getting in. They just don't want to deal with the crowds.

Even more so than the Manolo sale, the Christian Louboutin sale has traditionally be shrouded in secrecy. And unlike the Manolo sale, they have not let the public in on the goods (well, until last year, but I bet if you asked they would still deny it). Racked.com is all over it.

Information out there:
VIP day: Wednesday, May 12; 8AM-5PM
Potentially public sale: Thursday, May 13; 8AM-5PM
Where: 306 W 38th St

There is a RSVP email address for the sale which currently has an auto-respond that reads:
Hello,
Thank you for your RSVP. The list for the Christian Louboutin PRIVATE, INVITE ONLY sample sale is now closed.
Um, okkk. Pretty angry. I'm thinking that they will not be lenient like Manolo, so if you want to go, you better be a really good sweet-talker.

    I rsvp'd on Friday and got my confirmation email no problem. It said this:

    Hello,
    You are confirmed for (insert date here). Thank you!

    I can't list the date, because the rest of the email says to keep it private :(

    SreeshaV - you're so lucky! I think they must have set the RSVP email to out-of-office at some point because it leaked. Please let me/us know how it is!
