Exactly one more week until the Fifty Shades of Grey movie officially hits the big screen (this Valentines Day!!) but there is plenty of movie stuff floating around to tease us until the big day.

And in Fifty Shades Trilogy BOOK news:
- Fifty Shades movie banned in Malaysia!
- The Guardian reports on the campaigners boycotting the movie.
- A LENGTHY article on the Daily Mail in the UK, discussing the making of the movie, and the entire Fifty Shades empire (E.L. James has marketed a ton of products to go along with the books. Fifty Shades sex toys
, wine, makeup AND music). And here are just a few of ‘em:
- Target is selling er… Fifty Shades sex toys, and there’s been a bit of a hubbub. Product placement issues, anyone?
Eeeeeeep!!! - Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album <— E.L. selected these songs herself for this album! The DailyMail reports that she:
“…has also personally selected a Fifty Shades classical album featuring the rousing bedroom music she claims her hero and heroine would have listened to…”
Two? Soundtracks from the movie? These aren’t released yet, but will be within the next few days. Fifty Shades Of Grey (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and Fifty Shades Of Grey (Original Motion Picture Score)(Danny Elfman)- And me, being a nail polish addict… well. I LOVE THESE! OPI Fifty Shades Grey Mini 6pk, 0.125 Ounce (not 50 shades of grey… but quite a few, and that RED?! Red Room of Pain anyone?)
I got one of these as a gift recently! This gorgeous wine set (one bottle of red and one bottle of white), and I know this one is an official Fifty Shades of Grey Holiday Set, 2 x 750 mL product! Here is a review wine-tasting from RT Magazine! And the Daily Mail reports that she:
“…often refers to wine-drinking in her books, flew to the Mendocino Wine Company’s vineyard in California, and the fiftyshadeswine.com website features a video of her taking part in a blending session with winemakers, accompanied by a sensuous jazzy soundtrack.”
- Ooooh look at this one! Dunno if THIS is an official Fifty Shades product or not, but it’s pretty! Fifty Shades of Grey Mrs Grey Case for iPhone 5. Gorgeous. Shiny and it’s calling my name…
I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy.

I’m so excited, tickets booked for Friday night here in Oz!
okay, the tweet pic in the Target hubub article made me giggle. i mean, the kids are going to be paying attention to the brightly colored toothbrushes & not paying any attention at all to the dark boxes to the right, but it IS an amusing placement. kinda like condoms in the diaper aisle…
Those things are great and all, but what I wanna know is…where are the grapes?
And I’m so jealous of your wine gift! But thanks for the link so I can order two sets, one set to drink and one set to keep…you really think I could have that around me and not crack it open? *snort* Right.
*snort*!!!! Yah… well. They look so delicious!
Carrie… right? That was quite the spot.
Jo I can’t wait either!
His grapes look delicious?!? MARYSE!!!!
Oh, you probably meant the *wine* looks delicious… *snicker*
LOL!!!!!
I’m trying to find these grapes you keep talking about!!!…. *snort*
Thanks Maryse for making it so easy to get my Fifty video clip fix this morning! My friends and I have tickets for the first showing in our area, this Thursday so of course I super crammed re-reading all three this past week. As many times as I’ve read them I still found things I had forgotten So I’m glad I revisited Ana and Christian
This is great Maryse!! Thanks!!
