What Miss Tea Wants Now: Chanel Tattoos

Sooooo sorry, sweeties. Miss Tea has been absent after a little mental draining episode from work (where else). This recession is such a downer but Miss Tea has found things to lighten up her spirits.....like Chanel Tattoos!!!





In the teme of NYC Fashion Week, Miss Tea heard about this little gem: Chanel is offering Tattos and Miss Tea wants one. Super, uber sexy, these tattoos are perfect for evening wear or hell, save them for summer!


On the leg, an the arm, around the neck...gorgeous! Miss Tea particularly likes the detail which gives off the look of old-fashion stocking pull-ups.


Okay, so Miss Tea's legs don't look like these. But hey, Miss Tea is sure to get compliements...or at least turn a few heads.



A set of 55 tattoos retail at approximately $78 USD. Chanel Tattoos will be available in March 2010.

Desire: Louboutin Pumps

It hurts her heart to say this, but Miss Tea is *sigh* high maintenance. "What?" you ask?

Unfortunately in this current enviroment of economic recession and earthquake emergency aid, Miss Tea's very small and sparing change (until her employer realizes her true worth - yeah, that's a hint, guys) will go to a more noble cause rather than ...*tear* the Louboutin pumps she saw over the weekend.

Mind you, Miss Tea is nowhere near the target of Monsieur Christian Louboutin or his wares. In fact, she more like the spec of mud, that happened on a pebble, that somehow gained traction on a mud that stuck to a pair of Louboutins during a "perilous storm", a mere accident. Hence, Miss Tea's debut as the swarmy fly in Bergdorf Goodman, excited about the "sale" rack.









Studio 120 - Ivory - $1,895.00 USD








Beaute Strass - Pink - $2,225.00









Hyper Prive - Nude $865.00 USD


Sale, my ass.

But Miss Tea digresses, and turns to her new mantra: "I am not Jennifer Lopez. I cannot afford to say or sing, 'I'm throwing on my Louboutins.'"

Incidentally, J.Lo hunny if you're reading this...straight guys do not know what Louboutins are. But then again, you already knew that. ;o)

Go on, sing it girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJgEvoRgg3Y

The Last Station - NY Film Premiere

Ah, Miss Tea is in demand by her public! Okay, not exactly true but a girl can dream. :o)

Last week, Miss Tea and pubLiZity attended the premiere of The Last Station, a beautiful film about the last days of Leo Tolstoy and his wife. The film stars Christopher Plummer (who Miss Tea will always remember as Capt. Von Trapp) and Helen Mirren (don't miss with The Queen) as well as Paul Giamatti (John Adams) and James McAvoy ... who needs no intro, description or anything else.

Yes, Miss Tea and pubLiZity experienced what it was like to attend a real film screening, although Miss Tea was not allowed on the step-and-repeat wall (and therefore not allowed to snuggle next to any celebs for a glam pic). Still, it was excitement enough just to be in the same room with these actors.

Actually, not all of them where there so let me be more specific. In attendance at our premiere were: Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti, James "he's so cute" McAvoy, and Kerry Condon. So here's a little clip of what little video Miss Tea could record from the event, featuring director Michael Hoffman.

Just so you know (not to name-drop, but if Miss Tea must), Paul Giamatti sat right behind us, eating his popcorn and soda. Kelly Condon sat behind him. And James McAvoy sat right behiner her. So we were 2 seats away from James McAvoy. Miss Tea can tell...you are envious. :o)

Bonne Annee! Happy New Year!

Ha! Bet you didn't know that Miss Tea could speak French! Oui, oui!

Best wishes to everyone for a Happy New Year! As for Miss Tea, she's made a few resolutions of her own for 2010:

1. Find Mr. Right / Right Now / Curtis Stone / Gerard Butler

2. Make some serious $$$ (They say money won't make you happy. Miss Tea would like the chance to prove them wrong.)

3. Lose weight - ugh, shocker.

So how did Miss Tea spend her New Year's Eve? Completely sober and in Times Square (no alcohol allowed in Times Square during NYE). Yes, thanks again to pubLiZity, Miss Tea found herself on the NIVEA Kissing Platform in the middle of Times Square among the crowds. As a casted "reveler" - a term only used this time of year - Miss Tea felt like a bona fide acteur, since she had a green room, a kraft table and most importantly, access to a bathroom. (Trust, it could've been worse. Miss Tea saw Aquafina bottles with yellow liquid contents, on the sidewalk...eew.)

Unfortunately, Miss Tea did not get her closeup though F-Dawg swears he saw her doing the can-can on TV (which was true). However, she enjoyed the vibe off the crowd, met Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey, and got a glimpse Ryan Seaquest and Daughtry. And...lookie here what showed up on Getty Images:

For 2010, Miss Tea will let her inner diva out more often. ;o)

Rehearsal for 2010

Even though Miss Tea thought she would never EVER do this, she found herself smack dab in the middle of Times Square today for her "rehearsal" in preparation for the New Year's Eve 2010 celebration.

WHAT?!

Yep, Miss Tea was in Times Square getting prepped for her appearance on the Nivea Kissing Platform to promote "Love, Hugs and Kisses" ... so appropriate for Miss Tea as a resolution to do all of the above more often in 2010. :o)

Anyhoo, here are some prep photos. Hopefully Miss Tea will have better ones tomorrow! Also, Miss Tea was told she might be seen on TV (ABC or NBC) during performances by Chris Daughtry and Jennifer Lopez. Mind you, Miss Tea will probably be in the back...way, way back. LOL



Here is our space during all the revelry, where the ball will drop behind us. Other pic is of our film crew. "All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up."

Save a horse, ride a cowboy!

Just when Miss Tea thought she knew every spot in NYC, along comes something new ... to Miss Tea, that is. Sure, you've all done it...but do you talk about it?

Miss Tea is talking about that rambunctious mechanical bull housed at Johnny Utah's Restaurant and Bar. The dark, underground arena was filled with strapping, young men and sassy, young women, all drinking to their hearts content while cheering the latest victim of The Bull and waiting for the Shot Rounds when Miss Tea was present. What a perfect place to bring family.

Miss Tea needed some liquid motivation before getting on that thing so natch, we had bottle service (Prosecco $40). After struggling with mounting The Bull, Miss Tea held on for dear life, worried that she might break a nail. Sure enough, as the The Bull moved quickly, she slid slowly (and pathetically) down the side until she just let go of the rope. She glanced at the announcer/controller with a sheepish "I tried" look, to which he pointed at her to get back on The Bull, saying "You're not done." Sadly, Miss Tea tried again, only this time to be thrown off again as the bull spinned around. Trust, Miss Tea did not look sexy in front of the gaping audience.

On the other hand, Miss Tea's cousin, Miss KB, stayed on for a good 5-6 minutes. With one hand on the rope and the other in the air, Miss KB's agility to ride the bull in a rocking motion was quite impressive. It figures, the young ones know how to do this sort of thing.

Ah youth, come back. Miss Tea misses you.

Miss Tea vs. The Bull.

Save Santa a sleigh ride - be naughty!

Miss Tea saw that little gem on her friend's Facebook page - rather clever!

As some of you know, Miss Tea took a little vaca to Buenos Aires in early December and has had to pay for it ever since returning to work. Wrapping up the end of the year in a rush makes Miss Tea very fussy.

Of course there are tons of things Miss Tea would like to talk about but with the holidays creeping up, family and friends to see...we'll just have to start up again next week.

However, Miss Tea will leave you with 2 movie reviews (in case you're bored with the fam and need an activity that doesn't require interaction...not that it happens in Miss Tea's family).

To all the naysayer critics, shame on you. So what if it took 15 years to make this flick? It's pretty friggin' cool. Miss Tea has heard criticism that the story is weak, there are too much special effects, and yes, Miss Tea has some trouble understanding Sam Worthington's mumblings. But overall, the film is impressive as a fantasy film and delivers. Plus, Miss Tea likes the Mother Earth (or in this case Mother Pandora) theme of appreciating nature.

Premise: Jughead Jake Sully takes on a mission in Pandora in place of his super-smart but now dead twin brother to assist in the mining of a special mineral. An indigenous tribe (Miss Tea forgets what they're called...Naboo?? oh wait, that's Star Wars) sits on one of the largest mineral deposits and the Earthlings (that would be us) need to "nicely" evict them from their home. Sully becomes part of the tribe through an avatar to learn their ways in order to peacefully get them to leave. Of course, nothing's ever "peaceful" with James Cameron so conflict ensues.

At one point, Michelle Rodriguez's character says, "You're not the only one with guns, b*tch." For some reason, Miss Tea this is the one quote Miss Tea remembers from the film with fond affection and humor.

Anyhoo, go see Avatar: www.avatarmovie.com

P.S. It is preferable that you see it on IMAX, over 3D. But you have the IMAX 3D combo, even better.

Sherlock Holmes

Well, pubLiZity did it again! Last night, she and Miss Tea went to see a pre-screen of Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey Jr. brought his Ironman charisma to the title character while Jude Law played an "alternative" Dr. Watson. Don't know about you, but Miss Tea always thought Dr. Watson was a stodgy old fellow...til now. Or maybe it's because it's Jude Law. Hmm. Doesn't matter. The point is, Downey and Law have chemistry and it shows onscreen in their "bromance" relationship. Rachel McAdams also does a great job as a tough Dame Adler, bringing in some clever, feminine spunk.

Premise: It's complicated. If Miss Tea tries to describe the plot, it may deter you from watching the film. So you're just going to have to see it.

Director Guy Ritchie also did a great job in keeping the film fast-paced, providing clues and keeping the audiece in suspense. Think Old English meets Rock N Rolla. The film is SMA-ART and the story is interesting enough to keep you enthralled. The only pisser for Miss Tea is when the story leaves you as if a sequel is in the works. Sigh.

Sherlock Holmes is definitely a go-see: www.sherlock-holmes-movie.warnerbros.com

Have a Happy Holiday Season everyone! Write to y'all next week!
