Lucky Girl!!!

Anyone who read my post from yesterday (hopefully someone read it!! ha ha !)
would have read that I bought Lauren her dress for her birthday ~ which she wanted to wear for her party in November!!
The dress is a replica of one that is worn by Gabriella in High School Musical 3 and is really lovely. We just walked into the supermarket yesterday, picked it off the rail, paid and went ~ nothing strange there ~ until I saw this in the British press today ~ apparently it has also been all over the radio and TV (although I haven't seen or heard that!!)

High School Musical: Replica dress forces Asda to introduce waiting list
A replica of a dress worn by Vanessa Hudgens in High School Musical 3 is proving so popular that fans will have to join a waiting list to get hold of one.

The floral dress, which costs £16, goes on sale at Asda's George stores today, but the chain said the first 20,000 have all been pre-ordered.
Asda have said the waiting list, a first for their store, is reminiscent of those signed by adults waiting to get hold of designers' latest collections.
The dress is worn by Hudgens' character Gabriella Montez in the latest instalment of Disney's hit musical which is set around the children's senior year.
Available for girls aged four to 12, the dress has been replicated "stitch for stitch" to the design worn in the film.
Fiona Lambert, design director for George, said: "Every young girl will want this replica dress in their party wardrobe and because of the quality and the fact it's not purely for 'dressing up', it will be worn way into Christmas and beyond."
The High School Musical franchise, which also stars Zac Efron, has been hailed as the Grease for the younger generation.

WOW ~ how lucky were we to get one!! I still can't quite believe that Lauren has one hanging in her bedroom ~ which we bought a day earlier than the release date ~ and it was sooooo easy!!

I also cannot believe that I almost told Lauren to wait until nearer her birthday to get one, but she (somehow) managed to talk me into it (as usual!!) ~ I am so glad that I got it for her now, she had her heart set on it and would have been very disappointed if we went back and they were all gone ~ also ~ I don't like waiting at the best of times ~ so being on a waiting list for a dress would not be for me (tee hee!!).

Hopefully the dress won't prove SO popular that every girl at Laurens party will be wearing one!! I am not quite sure how she would take it (tee hee!!) XXXXX
