El Muro de los Pósters : años 70`s
La Batalla por el Planeta de los Simios:
Siendo la quinta entrega de la saga de los simios superiores, este film ya mostraba cansancio y agotamiento. Lo más recordable es la frase sentenciosa : "el simio no matará al simio", y ver al primer asesino de aquel nuevo mundo en la piel de un gorila.
Deathsport: Deporte Mortal:
Se le conoce como una secuela de la pelicula de culto y bizarra "Death Race 2000", aunque la referencia resulta indirecta. El héroe del film vuelve a llevar el rostro del actor David Carradine, como un aventurero en un futuro post-apocaliptico en manos de un dictador, encarnado por el maloso de antología Richard Lynch. Con menos ingenio que su predecesora y muchas más burradas, aunque bien podría ocupar un lugar especial dentro de los casos de films tan malos que resultan simpáticos.
Exorcista 2: el hereje:
Mucho delirio para John Boorman, lo cual podría decirse que le funcionó en Zardoz, pero aquí no da pega, y el terror y tensión del primer film, dirigido por William Friedkin, es reducido a cero absoluto.
Spider-man, strikes back:
En vista del trailer de la nueva pelicula del arácnido héroe, esa visión subjetiva de su correria por techos y muros es básicamente el recurso utilizado en este film del año 1977, mejor dicho en lo que respecta a la ascensión por los muros. Hombre, es lo mismo en modo artesanal, y no me extrañaría que el actual director Marc Webb haya visto esta producción, modesta en recursos y en calidad. Hay quienes recuerdan esta pelicula como "aquella donde Spider-man usa baticinturón".
Grita Blácula, grita:
Más alla del siempre atractivo ambiente setentero, y de contar con la presencia de la mujer ícono del cine black-exploitation, la morena Pam Grier, esta secuela del vampiro negro falla en casi todo, pues no ofrece nada nuevo y lo único curioso es la pinta de los vampiros, muy similares a los zombies romerianos vistos luego en 1978 en el clásico "Dawn of the dead".
Vuelvo más adelante con la década de los 60`s, aunque la cosa ahi pinta más complicada para mí.

Scene from United Bamboo SS12
Maybelline counter at Teen Vogue Haute Spot. I actually quite liked their Haute Spot, a very fun space to chill between shows or see people come in. I missed Richard Chai and Jill Stuart there.
Their Style boards. Loved the styling. Obivously, I want that Jacket.
At their internet corner, on their ipad, looking up Fashion Radar for confirmations and RSVPs to shows. Haha, a girl needs a break.
Bergdorfs during Fashion Week is always fun.
Epicenter of stuff and planning.
Invites.
Quite liked her combo. That skirt and high shoes.
Honor was overcrowded, so we were all released out back onto the fashion week lobby were tons of us watched the screen.
Who is that? Its Joan from Girlfriends! Tracy Ellis Ross. She was at Honor!
I managed to pick up Arise Magazine. Ive been hearing such a buzz. Arlenis Sosa is such a rock star.

RAVE: Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Pen
Well this is what I call my little relief in a tube. Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Pen.
You click and apply to your under eye for instant cooling relief and helps with the darkness/ puffiness that comes at the bottom of the eye.
Its my treatment to my years of failing sleep and many more years of it to come, but not so often. Hopefully I will be more sensible.
If you guys like the idea, you can buy it from Sephora, where I buy mine or Skin Store.com.
It runs at $20 USD.

Dark Horse Spiderman x New York Comic Con
DARK HORSE UNVEILS THE 2011
NEW YORK COMIC CON EXCLUSIVE
MARVEL SPIDER-MAN SYROCO!
SEPTEMBER 28, MILWAUKIE, OR—As part of the Marvel Syrocos program that debuted at San Diego Comic-Con International in July, it is announced today that Dark Horse will be releasing another exclusive Spider-Man statue for New York Comic Con!
New York Comic Con attendees will have a very significant opportunity to acquire a special statue released just for the show. Much like the previously released and long-sold-out SDCC exclusive, a very limited number of this statuette is being offered. It is packaged in the same litho-printed tin box that is the hallmark of the Dark Horse Syrocos, and is destined to be a bona fide hot item, both at the show and far beyond the exhibit hall. It will be sold at the normal retail price of $49.99, with a limit of four per customer.
“We wanted to evoke New York with our very special exclusive Spider-Man,” said Dark Horse’s VP of Product Development, David Scroggy. “Unfortunately, space constraints made a rooftop water tower or fire escape impossible, but we still hope fans can sense the city in this piece.”
The Marvel Syrocos program kicked off earlier this month with two alternating series: Classic Marvel Characters and the Fantastic Four. This new line will be deliberately different than the common modern Marvel collectible sculpture, with features like a rougher surface texture, visible seam lines, and other slightly distressed aspects, such as the method of paint application.
These special New York Comic Con exclusives will be available at four p.m. on Thursday, October 13. Don’t miss your chance to own one of these fantastic statues!
Pantheon Books at NYCC!
I for one cant wait for Comic Con, its going to be HUGEEE! October. Another couple of weeks, I can count on one hand, its here people.
Get your passes ready!
I have just received word that Pantheon Books will there!
Pantheon Books will be at this year’s New York ComicCon (October 14-16, plus preview night on October 13), and we would love to see you there. Our booth is #1041.
AUTHORS:
We have two authors joining us at our NYCC booth this year: Dash Shaw/BODYWORLD (Pantheon) and Colson Whitehead/ZONE ONE (Doubleday, going onsale 10/18).
BOOKS:
WORD bookstore will be at our booth selling a healthy selection of Pantheon graphic novel favorites, including two of our biggest new releases by incredibly talented artists: Craig Thompson’s HABIBI (Pantheon, 9/7) and Art Spiegelman’s METAMAUS: Inside a Modern Classic, Maus (Pantheon, 10/4). These are destined to be Pantheon Books classics, so be sure to ask us about them at the booth. Buttons inspired by each title will be on hand for giveaway, as well, in addition to gorgeous posters (attached) specially designed by Craig Thompson for ComicCon. Also available for sale at the convention will be Glen Duncan’s THE LAST WEREWOLF (Knopf), a hit new novel that was all the rage in San Diego this past summer.
GIVEAWAYS & OTHER PERKS:
Of all the possible giveaways at ComicCon, I bet you’ve never received a pair of women’s panties. Nearly a year before its onsale date, UNTERZAKHN by Leela Corman (Schocken, going onsale 3/20/12) was already the hit of San Diego ComicCon in July, where we were giving out panties with the word “unterzakhn” (Yiddish for “beneath the surface,” aka “underwear”) on them. Robot6 and other blogs covered the unique giveaway item (see attached for pics from SDCC), and the panties will be handed out (in a limited quantity) throughout NYCC. Corman, who moonlights as a professional belly dancer, has illustrated books on subjects ranging from urban gardening to the history of the skirt, and her work has also appeared in the New York Times and on WNET/Thirteen. For more on Corman and the new book, go to http://leelacorman.com/.
Mystery freebies! Author of 31 books, Anne Rice’s latest THE WOLF GIFT (Knopf, out next year) will make an appearance in some sort of a giveaway item during the convention. www.annerice.com. Also having a presence at the booth is Ben Marcus’ THE FLAME ALPHABET (Knopf, 1/17/12), and the giveaway will be as unique as his startling new novel. http://benmarcus.com
Pose with Lisbeth! The spectacularly successful Stieg Larsson/THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (Alfred A. Knopf) trilogy is coming to NYCC. This year at the Pantheon booth, you can pose next to a poster of Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s novels.
Finally, NYCC is your exclusive chance to get a sneak peak at what Chris Ware has been working on (his next book with Pantheon, fall 2012). Stop by the booth to get your first glimpse.
