Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Sleeping outside in the cold wind is not a common beauty regimen. And so camping out for H&M's opening yesterday certainly didn't equal beauty sleep. In fact, with crews starting to set up a runway and booths at midnight, sleep was impossible for many of the campers.
In fact, by morning it was tough to tell wannabe fashionistas waiting for H&M to open at noon with the folks who sleep downtown on a regular basis? H&M or homeless camper? You decide.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
