This year, the invitation-only Christian Louboutin sale is doing things a little differently. Rather than start the week with VIP and press days, they've dedicated Tuesday (that would be today) to friends and family. Check in below for updates from our spy in the line.

8:24am: There are over 100 people waiting in line. It's super-frustrating because employees are coming down and pulling their friends out of the line.

8:28am: The first person in line got here at 4:45ish, and just went up the elevator.

8:48am: They're checking names and stamping once approved. Usually they check ID, but right now they're just making sure your name is indeed on the list of RSVPs.
