So here is my next to last whine about the timing of Skyfall opening in Japan: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh! December 1st. Have a luverly and fun Oct/November everyone, with practically everyone on here seeing Skyfall before me. And it seems like it might be a real gem. I can't wait! (but I have to ... life is so difficult at times; sigh ...). :-w
By the way, I still want to find the Bond fragrance and get some to give as a gift (or two), especially after you said it was really good, Sandy. I'll let you know later if I am successful.
Anyway, cheers to all! Skyfall is nearly here ! :D
I just put up my review for License to Kill (love Dalton, really don't like the movie) and will get The Living Daylights in tomorrow. (for The Originals thread) Then I am off. Time flies, so I hope I will join you about Dec. 9th with cheers and a ringing success for Skyfall. Take care, everyone! I'll miss this forum and I will definitely be back as soon as I can.
See you in a few weeks!
This is what I call my xmas week - everything in my life is taking second fiddle. Hoping on meeting sir Roger on Monday ending with the film Friday. Hopefully take some photo's on the Sony experia T as the week goes on

I did pick up some of the Bond-themed OPI nailpolish though. Haven't tried them out yet.

@jackdagger try out just for fun, even if it's just to take it off afterwards ;) Still haven't seen the OPI polishes for sale but here they are crazy expensive! It's nonsense because in the US they are not expensive at all :-??
Subtle nods, like the film itself... ;-)
My girlfriend was a *little* dressed up as she just came from work. I was wearing my Barbour jacket (same one Bond wears at Skyfall manor) but the funny thing was I didn't think about it when I put it on...it's just been my go-to outwear for the last while due to the weather.
No-one in tuxedos or evening gowns like when I went to the premiere of DAD!
@Lord - I thougt this jacket was particularly cool.
It is quite simply one of the best made, most useful pieces of clothing that I've ever worn (they removed a lot of the "extras" so it looked better in the film). Lots of compliments on it before the film came out; I had two coworkers text me on the weekend to tell me "OMG Bond is wearing your jacket!"
The funny thing is, I bought a shirt from Zara for $19 last Boxing Day (actually, I bought 3) and it turns out it's the blue one that Bond wears when he's "enjoying death". Who knew you could live the Bond Lifestyle for so cheap! I wish I'd known it was in the film; I'd have bought every one and sold them on ebay!
Funny story about the shirts! That jacket is so cool, good choice ;)
I did dress up a little bit, not too much because I went during day time. Funny enough I wore a blouse I usually refer to as Moneypenny, because it's flowery and has a bow (don't be shocked, it doesn't look like something Louis Maxwell would wear back in the day, in fact it's quite fashionable) with skinny jeans and knee-high boots.
@Germanlady I have noticed that unfortunately most Germans don't usually care much (or nothing at all) about what clothes they put on.
I don't have a subject to suggest so say whatever crosses your minds.
Just as a little sidenote, I have bought all of the OPI Skyfall collection and the colors are simply gorgeous. I'm wearing The Living Daylights over Moonraker as I type. If you guys can get a hold of these colors, I'd strongly recommend it. I have swatches I might post a bit later.
Well I wore my Aston Martin T shirt, so, sort of Bond.
An Aston T-shirt is more than appropriate @thelivingroyale.
(Brace yourself boys, nothing says "girly" like talking nail polish. Here I go.)
LALD is a beautiful color, sort of a deep dark green with golden flecks. On all the nail blogs I've visited it seems to be the winner so if you ever come across the collection again I'd say this is a must have.
The other standouts are:
- Goldeneye, which is a burnt gold-orangey color that looks like a million bucks on your nails.
- OHMSS is also a winner.
- I'd say TLD is also a must have just because it's such a unique glitter.
- Personally I also love YOLT (a raspberry gold color).
The ones that are a tad too common and you're not missing out on are SF, CR, DAD and MR which is just a silver color with a really horrible runny formula. Low points for TWINE as well (too sheer and kind of dull in certain lighting).
I'd recommend you get them from ebay, which is how I got them. OPI is excessively expensive in South America and shipping fees included, it was still cheaper ordering from ebay.
I live in Peru, by the way. We get OPI but it costs more than twice as much! Where do you live?
OPI also costs twice as much here. Peru, how interesting! I live in Germany, but I'm Portuguese.
That's so neat, so I assume you speak both languages pretty well. I live in Peru but I'm actually Honduran (Central America). It's a very small country right on the Caribbean sea. Interesting that we're both foreigners where we live.
