Avenger Tuesdays: Volume 2

Volume 2 of Avenger Tuesday's are here! Just two more weeks until the movie debuts! Are we excited?

The Etsy item of the week relating to The Avengers is a dog tag necklace paying tribute to  S.H.I.E.L.D. For those not familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D and how it relates to The Avengers, please click on the S.H.I.E.L.D link for a background story:

The necklace is also under $10! I did this on purpose in honor of tax day (US Government are crooks that all I'm going to say about that) Let's just say I turned into The Hulk for a few minutes when I found how much much I owed lol

HULK SMASH TAXES!

In other Avengers news, the LA premiere was a few days ago, wanted to share a few pictures:

Boom, Zap, Pow! New Trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises" is online baby!

Hi guys!


My Monday ended great when my dear friend/model Kimanie posted the trailer for the new move "The Dark Knight Rises". 

One word it is AMAZING! On so many levels: the new villain Bane looks scary, plot cohesive, and.... Selina Kyle's/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway's) styling in the movie is so on point. Everyone read the comic books Catwoman is more than the Halle Berry version, she is beautiful, complex, and an anti-hero.


I think it was a good call on Nolan's part to feature just Selina Kyle in the trailer and not her counterpart Catwoman for a few reasons:

1. Title is called "The Dark Knight Rises"
2. Focus should be on Batman & Bane the villain
3. Pics of Anne Hathaway in her catsuit have been posted on the Internet for months. 

I highlighted a few images from the trailer and some I have seen online and in magazines. I think the styling/make shows Selina's strength and vulnerability. The styling felt similar to mine nowadays:

July 12th can't come fast enough, already planning a group outing with my dearest friend's to see it! What did you guys think of Selina's style and the trailer?

Dear Santa: Kosi's Holiday Wishlist

Dear Santa

I have been good all year (maybe there was a few incidents where there was too much alcohol that influenced my actions) but let's not rehash that. 


In light of my good behavior, I have composed a list of items I must have for Christmas. 

"Must" maybe a strong word but it's 2011, better to be direct and not beat around the bush, right? I made this list very simple to understand:

GIVENCHYMedium Leather Nightingale

so chic and an investment piece

My own Starbucks card that lasts me till December 2012
I can't live without my coffee in the morning and next year will be a very positive/demanding/productive year for me. Caffeine will help me through it ;)

Helmut Lang Slit Maxi Skirt-so versatile 

A custom Iphone cover from Esty.com

An Ipad, nuff said.

An all inclusive trip to San Diego Comic Con, July 2012. 

I can't get enough of my comics!

Pamela Love Tribal Spike Cuff

That is my list Santa, also keep my loyal readers as beautiful and awesome as they already are!  


LOL so that is my letter to Santa Folks.


The holiday's rock! Not for wishlists but for everyone to remember that these are times to be grateful for what we all have and look forward to a New Year!

Movie Fashion: Scorpion Jacket from the Movie Drive

Last Sunday I saw the movie Drive, and I loved it!  Drive has a vintage feel. It feels as if it were made in the 70's but remodeled for modern day. Very much like a beautifully restored vintage car.  

There hasn't been a movie in a long time that has grabbed me with the following:


Music/Color story: The color story was mostly in shades of blue and gold. The streetlights to the motel fit into this color scheme.  The songs selected fit the same thematic feel of the movie. They sound like they are 70's disco hits but are all modern songs with a vivid techno pulse. 


This is one of my favorite tracks from the film "A Real Hero by College feat. Electric Youth"

Acting: Drive has the best ensemble cast, I've seen in a long time. You wouldn't think to put all these actors: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, and Ron Perlman (He was Hellboy if you remember) in a room together lol but the ingredients work.


Fashion:
“Have you ever heard of the story of the scorpion and the frog?” the  Driver (Ryan Gosling) asks producer/mobster Bernie Rose (Albert Brooks) towards the end of the movie. In that one line, when you put it in context, you get everything you need to know about the character and the movie. The driver wears a jacket with a scorpion on it.

I want this jacket now!

Nylon.com has one jacket's up for grabs now. Click on the Nylon link to enter! Good luck!

Go see the movie Drive if you haven't already, it will not disappoint.

Comic Relief: NY Comic Con 2011

I am super psyched! New York Comic Con  is 1 month away! October 13-16th at the Jacob Javits center. I am getting my press pass in the next few weeks.  The official Comic Con Website has a great feature called "My Show Planner" where you are able to search for the following:


Exhibitors
Artist Alley
Product Categories
Show Exclusives


Then you are able to add them to your show planner :) Ha ha! I love it! I am working the Coterie Fashion trade show at the Javits Center this weekend and they are no where near as sophisticated than this!


Starting to brainstorm an outfit, did you guys get your tickets yet? Will I see you there?
