Street Style Special Edition: Fashion From the iPhone4 Queue

By Brittnee Cann Thursday, Jun 24, 2010 / 4:50 PM

Nerds all around New York began lining up at the Apple store on Prince Street in SoHo sometime last night in anticipation for this morning’s iPhone4 drop.

Perhaps being a bit naïve, I figured that since I had a reservation, I could stroll up early this morning and get right in line only to wait maybe 30 minutes max. Not the case. I got to the scene around 8am and the line was already wrapped 3 blocks–around the corner of Prince, up Greene, across Houston, and halfway back down Mercer.

At this point I figured I had no chance at scoring my phone before it was time for work so I threw in the towel… but not before turning lemons into lemonade and snapping some street style photos of those braver and more patient than me willing to wait in line.

Totally irrelevant – but LOVE that you said “turning lemons into lemonade”..LOL! The Real Housewives of New York moment totally played in my head (if you haven't seen it, I'm sure its on youtube or somewhere)! Sorry -I just had to say say it.. couldn't resist! Best scene. Ever.

Are you British? Then don't use the word “queue” instead of line… you sound like a silly Anglophile.

Duh in this context “turning lemons into lemonade” is the correct way to use the phrase, Kelly on Housewives used it wrongly. It was an expression before that show, I don't think the writer of this was refrencing it at all, if she was she would've used it in a context where it was completely incorrect.So, “Romans12116″ you were more correct than you knew in beginning your comment with “Totally irrelevant.” Turn off the TV hon.
