NY Comic Con 2011

Hey guys!


I went to NYC Comic Con Saturday 10/15, it was my first time going and it was AMAZING. I am definitely going all four days next year, there is so much to cover. I purchased a few T-Shirts, Comic Books, and Jewelry from Her Universe a new Star Wars women's apparel/accessories line.

 

A women's collection dedicated to Star Wars and Sci-fi! I found my new Go-To for Tees! I got a few pieces of their jewelry that I will feature in an upcoming post.

The energy at the Javits Center was refreshing, I usually go to the Javits Center for fashion trade shows,etc. It was nice going for something more lighthearted.

Get Thee To An Infirmary

Hey guys!


Sorry for the lack of blog posts, I have been sick :( It is pretty serious when your boss sends you home in fears of infecting her and your coworkers. The weather in NYC has been hot one day and cold the next! 


So I am resting so I can be in full blogger/pr mode by the end of the week. Me being sick reminds me of one of my favorite episodes from the Cosby Show, it was when Rudy got sick:

I have to get better for so many reasons:


1) I need to put my NYC Comic Con post pronto
2) Halloween! Duh!
3) Have to catch up with my dearest friends
4) Get back to my secret project (don't worry you guys will know soon! It's going to be fabulous) 
5) Once Upon A Time premieres on Sunday
6) Finish the rest of my fall 2011 shopping


Be back soon!

P.S. I Love Me

Hey guys!

How was the weekend for everybody? My weekend was great just relaxed, saw Ides of March (great movie!) and caught up with an old friend.  I went to the Hells Kitchen Flea Market and got the most amazing deal on this coat: A perfect weekend with friend's and random summer weather! I love it as I get older the simple things in life make me smile. I love where I am in my life right now and looking forward to October 2011 and beyond.

I found this poem online, I wish there was an author behind it. But it pretty much sums up how I am feeling.

Love Yourself

Live in colours, love yourself
Rest on love look at shelf
Bees are humming, spiders spin
Shut your eyes, live in green
Ignore words what others say
All will leave you none to stay
Life is yours make it happy
Raise your head never feel shaky.

I ain't afraid of no ghosts!

If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?

We all know that song! I am happy to hear that Sony Pictures will re-release Ghostbusters in nearly 500 theaters in the US starting October 13, 2011, and on the next two Thursdays before Halloween.

Awesomeness on so many levels:

1) It is one of my top 10 favorite movies

2) I was considering dressing up as a ghostbuster for Halloween

3) This scene lol classic. "The Flowers Are Still Standing!" 

4) The fierceness of Dana Barrett and that red dress!  "Are you the Key Master?"

Would you guys agree?

Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011

 

On Wednesday night, I was in the process of checking my Facebook on my iPhone when I learned of the death of Steve Jobs.  My iPhone! A device that I can not live without.  The device that Jobs created.  

Does the death of Steve Jobs put an end to Apple's dominance in creativity, and innovation in the cell phone computer world?   Jobs made technology not about science and math, but about how we live our daily lives: how we listen to music, how we communicate, how we view product. He made gadgets stylish to hold and essential to own. 

Mac or Pc?  it's the perennial debate for anyone who wants to buy a new computer ( or win an argument). Passionate and valid. I was raised a Mac girl, thankfully by my Dad. There was always an apple computer in our home. 

In 2005, Jobs revealed some of his thoughts on death in a heartfelt commencement address at Stanford University.  He told the graduating class:

‎"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Thank you Steve Jobs for creating technology that improves our lives.  Thank you for encouraging  us  never to take short cuts.

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.
