Spider-Man 1995

This Spider-Man action figure was number one of eight Happy Meal toys that McDonald's put out in 1995. He stands about 3 3/4" and his head, arms and waist moves.

Doctor Octopus 1995

This Doctor Octopus action figure originally came from McDonald's 1995 as part of their Spider-Man toy series that they put in their Happy Meals. He stands at 3 3/4" but his top two mechanical claws can be stretch out to 5". Doc Ock's head, arms and waist provides movement. The best feature is his mechanical claws that can be moved around.

Elizabeth Taylor-Icon,Legend ...and Jewelery Expert

In case you were living under a rock and havn`t heard,  Elizabeth Taylor passed away on Wednesday. I was really shocked to hear that, as I had NO idea she was even ill. And I consider myself as a pretty aware person.


Anyway, enough publications have given her basic information and various sorts of tributes.


Its interesting to know that she loved to collect jewelery, amongst other things such as husbands, 8 of them I think :)


She owned and collected the biggest sort of bling there is, and could put many rappers to shame!

"My mother says I didn’t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked"

 33 carat Krupp Diamond 

This was the first gift from then husband Richard Burton, and it cost  $ 305,000 in 1968. She wore this ring all the time,for the rest of her life. Even during filming. It is one of the most well known of all her jewels.


DUCHESS OF WINDSOR BROOCH

 The Duchess of Windsor brooch is a diamond encrusted brooch that was designed by the then Prince of Wales himself for his future bride, Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth Taylor was a close friend of Mrs Simpson, and she purchased the brooch at an auction after the Duchess’ death,in 1986




Cartier-Burton Diamond

Another gift from husband Richard Burton, a 69-carat pear shaped diamond, which was later name the Taylor-Burton diamond.
Interestingly Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married twice, and divorced twice.




The Taj Mahal Diamond

Yet another present from Richard Burton her 40th Birthday in 1972, with Burton joking that he ‘would have liked to buy her the Taj-Mahal, but it would cost too much to transport’. The diamond has ‘Love Is Everlasting’ in Parsi




ANTIQUE DIAMOND TIARA

Her third husband, Mike Todd, bought her an antique diamond tiara which she wore frequently during their marriage.


LA PEREGRINA PEARL

And another gift from Richard Burton on Valentines Day, 1969. The pearl was set as a pendant to a necklace made out of pearls, rubies and diamonds designed by Cartier.






Cartier Ruby and Diamond Necklace

Given to her by husband Mike Todd, who tragically died in a plane crash.

You can get to know how much she really loved her jewelery as she later wrote a book...

Things You Did Not Know About Dame Elizabeth

 She had purple irises and a double set of eyelashes.

Her fourth marriage to Eddie Fisher was directly responsible for the dissolution of his marriage to Debbie Reynolds. But instead of disappearing as a  home-wrecker, Taylor took the role of the sultry destroyer-of-an empire-Cleopatra in 1959.

Auctioned off her diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from Richard Burton to raise money for an AIDS charity.

Was a heavy smoker until being mistakenly diagnosed with lung cancer in October 1975.

First husband Conrad Hilton Jr. (Paris Hilton`s Grand uncle) was physically abusive, which was partly caused by a drug problem.

"Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses."

"If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down".

RIP 

I NEED one outfit from this collection. PLEASE

Batman vs Superman in the Battle of the Superheroes

The title of tonight's episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold is "The Battle of the Superheroes" guest starring Superman so expect this epic battle:

Did you know that soundtrack for the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister" is now available on CD? Well, it is so you can now order a copy below:

Venom Transport Vehicle 1995

The Venom Transport Vehicle was part of the Spider-Man toy line that McDonald's put in their Happy Meal in 1995. The vehicle's mouth open and closes when you roll it.

Women Wednesday: Hawkgirl Cosplay

msventress has a few pictures of herself dressed up as Hawkgirl like the one shown below:

Here is izabelcortez in her Hawkgirl costume:

I like msventress's costume and wings by enjoy izabelcortez's mask better. This one is not too bad either:

Spider-Man Webrunner 1995

The Spider-Man Webrunner was #4 of the 1995 toys that McDonald's put in their Happy Meals. The side legs move a little when you roll the vehicle. I also have one still in the bag.

Spider-Man Buggy 1996

This Spider-Man buggy from McDonald's came out in 1996 and was the first in that year's Marvel Super Heroes series. His body can be pushed back so that the web on the hood can flip down. I do like the fact that each wheel has a spider like the one on his chest but they are hard to see in the pictures since I did not use a flash.

Thrift Store Find: Thing Mug 1994

I can now enjoy a cup of joe with Ben Grimm aka the Thing claiming "It's Clobberin' Time!!". This 1994 mug was made in Taiwan for OZ in Kansas City, Missouri. I found the Thing mug at a local thrift store this morning for fifty cents. The original box that it came in was missing but I cannot complain at that price.

Hells Yes!

Adrianne Palicki In Wonder Woman Costume

Fans have been waiting to see what Adrianne Palicki would look like in the Wonder Woman costume for the new tv pilot from NBC. The first photo was posted at DC Universe: The Source today and I have to say that I am impressed. I love how her boots are blue instead of red to match her leggings, which has stars down the side. She does have the bracelets and the lasso. The gold eagle on her red bustier is cool and I like how thin the tiara is. You know that I will be watching NBC's Wonder Woman from the beginning.

Sarojini Nagar Shopping

Yesterday I went to Sarojini Nagar after ages. I usually shop from the open shops and never actually venture into the small closed ones. This time I went solely for those ones since I had heard they have great shoes. And I hit the jackpot! I discovered three amazing shoe shops which sell really nice bags as well! 

So I have totally forgotten the name of the first one but actually if you make a trip to sarojini nagar, any proper shoe shop you come across will be worth looking into. The other two were called Soft and Sleek (yeah dodgy name!) and Kins. 

Both these shops have any style of shoes you can imagine. From six inch pumps,gladiator heels to Ugg replicas. They have managed to copy literally every style of Louboutins and Jimmy Choos out there.Which is sad for the companies but great for us mere mortals who cannot even dream of buying shoes which start at a lakh! 

These shops have two floors and have so many shoes that its mind boggling. They all had a huge variety of ballet flats, I am assuming cos its the winter stock. The sandals were not so many but I am sure they`ll get new summer stuff soon. Almost all of them have some sort of sale going on right now. Also they have managed to rip off styles of popular bags, like big totes and chain link ones.

White Cut Out sandals which zip-up at the back, from Soft And Sleek

Even though it`s suddenly gotten so hot to even wear flats, I couldn`t pass these up. They are the lightest shade of pink and so cute AND blinged out! Perfect for a plain outift. Actually there were so many flats at Kins that had me drooling. But I will wait till next winter :)

I love details. Anything with details and I am sold. These really caught my eye and I hadn`t come across anything like this before. Its a lotus and even though it looks a bit shapeless right now, it looks great on! I love the colorful beads!

Again, Love the detailing!

Yup all the shoes are flats, cos I am 5'8 and as much as I was tempted to buy pumps, there isn`t really a point, as I have said before, I tower over everyone if I wear those!

The inside of this bag is adorable!

These two bags were the best deals I got! I have been eying this black cross body bag in Forever 21 (they have different colors in it like coral and lilac) every time I go there. But I just could never bring myself to pay around 2 grand for such a small bag.
GUESS how much I got this for in Sarojini?

TWO.HUNDRED!!

Both the black and the beige chain link bag were 200/- each! Haha.

I have big bags, and wanted small ones when I only need to carry my phone and wallet!

I also bought like a bajillion shirts, most of them in florals plus a dress for 250/-(!) bucks. But they are so many I possibly cannot take pictures of each of them. I would rather feature them in outfit posts!

I have re-discovered my love for shopping in sarojini. I don`t know why I hadn't gone in so long. When I was in school I remember a phase when I used to go there with my friends every week! Each week we would have some event happening as an excuse to go there.

 Also you feel a sense of accomplishment after shopping there, because of the amazing bargains :D
