Posted March 23, 200718 yr Madonna fans hit H&M stores for the launch of the Material Girl's new fashion collection. About 50 shoppers poured into the chain's Oxford Street store when it opened to the sound of La Isla Bonita track. They grabbed armfuls of the M by Madonna collection, which is priced from £7.99 to £149.99. Leather trench coats, kimono dresses and sequinned shift dresses were among the most popular items - cream silk pedal pushers and matching cropped jackets seemed less so. Student Denise Cutts was among the first shoppers at the tills. Wearing a Madonna Confessions top, the 25-year-old from Peckham, London, said: "I have just bought basically the whole range. We have been everywhere for her and I have been a fan for years. I am going to wear it all. I like the bags, the sequinned dress, the trench coat and the kimono dresses that she models. I have spent over £1,000." Queuing at the check-outs with an armful of Madonna items, Magda Grabowik, 32, from Balham in London, said: "I have bought the white coat, leather jacket and dresses. I am spending maybe £200 or a bit more, I don't know. I am a Madonna fan but the reason I am buying the clothes is that they are very nice and feminine and the prices are very reasonable." One of the first people queuing outside the Oxford Street store this morning was Shadley May, 39, from South London. The forklift driver waited in the rain for more than an hour to snap up a dress for his fiancee. After making the purchase, he said: "She is going to be ecstatic. She told me to give her a call and make sure I had got it in size 10." Inside the store, David Conway, 39, from Dagenham, Essex, said: "I have two pairs of sunglasses, a trench coat and a leotard. Some of it is for me because I am a huge fan of Madonna, I am just going to keep it. Apart from the sunglasses - I might wear them." Madonna teamed up with H&M design team Margareta van den Bosch to create the collection. The range went on sale across the UK today. Previous collections for H&M by the designers Stella McCartney and Viktor & Rolf sparked a rush of buyers to the chain. Source: MSN UK

March 24, 200718 yr Author I'm gonna buy the sunglasses but i mean c'mon blokes who are buying the dresses n' stuff seriously need to be institutionalised! I've seen E! News Live and The Daily 10 last week and they were advertising the clothes. The reporter was saying how "hot" the dresses are and how "fashionable" everything is in spite of being quite accessible.

Well not because they're 'obsessed with Madge' because i'm obsessed with Madge too remember?! I'm criticising the fact that these men are queing up and buying the dresses and some, actually wearing them including the trench coats! I mean, i dunno but people like that are purely embarrasing!
