New Star Trek Trailer

The Super Bowl is, of course, known for its commercials, but especially exciting for me are the movie trailer commercials! I've already reviewed the exciting GI Joe Movie Trailer and now, I am pleased to bring you a new Star Trek Trailer!

I am a Trekkie at heart. I grew up watching the original series (well, reruns of the original series) and am proud to say that I can tell you which episode it is within the first 10 seconds of airtime. I am also a huge JJ Abrams fan, so bringing the two together is a match made in my Sci Fi Geek Heaven!

In the first trailers, we see Kirk and Spock and glimpses of Scottie, Sulu and Ahura. In this new trailer launched today, we meet Bones! Just makes you wonder what he is going to tell Jim he "is not" in this movie! And for your Trekkie viewing pleasure here you go:


Stay tuned to AnniesCostumes.com for new Star Trek uniforms available definitely in time for Halloween and hopefully we will have them in stock for the movie release, May 8, 2009!

And if you are not familiar with the Original Star Trek TV series, do your homework! You will not be sorry!

New GI Joe Trailer

I was extremely excited as were many other "Joe" fans to see the awesome first look at the movie with the first GI Joe trailer shown during the SuperBowl.

I found the trailer online at Collider.com



And check out this new shot of all the GI Joe characters in full costume!





How about Sienna Miller looking skin tight hot as a brunette "Baroness"?

The GI Joe movie hits theaters August 7, 2009.

Birth Mark Cover Up - As Seen on the Rachael Ray Show!

I am a huge fan of Rachael Ray and I actually DVR her day time talk show every day and watch it whenever I can. She cheers me up and always has such great guests and information. I was catching up on an episode from two weeks ago, which featured a recurring segment she has called "I Can't Stand My. . . " This episode, it was "I Can't Stand My Legs". One of her viewers has a wine colored birth mark on the back of her calf, and it has bothered her all her life and prevented her from wearing shorts and dresses. Rachael's buddy and cosmetics genius, Greta covered the birth mark with DermaBlend makeup, which completely covered the birthmark. Watch the video!

We here through our makeup site, StageandTheaterMakeup.com sell a very similar product: Kryolan Derma Color makeup. It is a fabulous product, covers birthmarks, covers tattoos, covers veins, covers blemishes and covers skin flaws of any kind.

Kryolan Derma Color has been around for years, its hypoallergenic and finally a solution for any skin flaws. Dermacolor will give your skin a flawless, beautiful, and vibrant appearance. This covers up anything and cannot be seen in person, up close or on TV and stage. Its very easy to apply with a sponge or your fingers and we recommend the setting powder to blend over shiny-ness and make the product smudge proof.

Megan Fox: The New Wonder Woman?

There has been so much speculation over who will don the Wonder Woman costume in the new Wonder Woman movie. This movie has been so long in the "works" some of the initial front runners are already likely too old to play the role and some new Hollywood talent has emerged. The photo-shop genius over at Wonder-Who.com came up with this amazing Wonder Woman poster with Megan Fox as IMO the perfect Wonder Woman! You can also see a step by step slide show of how they did it!



In the mean time, we all wait with bated breath for the real details. Hopefully they actually consult these guys for the costume design, because that is hot!

Hurry Up, DC! We are not all immortal you know, we can't really wait forever!

Santa's March for Record - 14,000

More than 14,000 people dressed as Santa Claus marched in the annual Santa Claus parade in Porto, Portugal, Dec. 14. The group aimed to break a Guinness World Record with the feat, and to raise money for charity. The crowd was singing and dancing from the afternoon until well after dark. Although the weather was against them (cold and drizziling) 14,200 showed up to march out of 17,400, everyone involved donating 1 euro to needy children. According to the Guinness World Records web site (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com), the previous world record for the largest gathering of Santas was set last year in Derry City, Northern Ireland, where a total of 12,965 people took part dressed up as Santa or Santa's helpers.

Festive NY Giants Fan Kicked Out of Game

Sondra Fortunato, the New York Giants' most iconic fan, was kicked out of the Giants' December 7th game versus Philadelphia. She was asked to leave because she brought signs and a bag to the game. 

However, her skimpy wardrobe may also have played a role in her ejection from the game.  She showed up in a santa costume, complete with fishnet stockings, a bathing suit bottom and high heeled boots! 

Whether Sondra was asked to leave the game because of her costume choice or what she brought to the game, out-do her this Christmas with your own Sexy Santa Costume from Annie's Costumes.

Dr. Acula Dies at 92

Forrest J. Ackerman, writer-editor who coined the term "Sci-Fi," died Saturday at age 92.

He began his career by editing the first movie monster magazine: Famous Monsters of Filmland, referring to himself as "Dr. Acula." Ackerman also created and wrote the stories of Vampirella and Jeanie of Questar. 

Above all, Ackerman loved collecting horror memorabilia. He collected some 300,000 items in his lifetime, including books, movie stills, posters, props and masks from Sci-Fi, horror and fantasy films.

In 1954, Ackerman coined the term "Sci-Fi" after hearing "hi-fi" mentioned on the radio. 

A documentary of Ackerman's life, made by Forrest's friend, John Sasser, is underway.

Hugh Jackman Wears His Movie Costumes for Sex!

WOW! What a headline! I came across this article this week and not sure if it falls under TMI or HOT!

Evidently, Hugh Jackman's wife likes for him to bring a little piece of his work home with him!

Excerpt from the article:

The 'Australia' actor - who has two adopted children with wife Deborra-Lee Furness - often keeps his outfits from films including 'X-Men', when he played sexy mutant Wolverine

, to impress in the bedroom .

Hugh - who has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine - said: "It's easy with my wife. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair in a good way.

"When we met, I was cast as a prisoner with tattoos and she'd say, 'Don't take your tattoos off tonight!' and I'd be like, 'All right!' But what works best with her is the stockbroker look."

Looks like Hugh Jackman will have a new Wolverine costume to take home and play with soon. X-Men Origins: Wolverine premiers May 1, 2009 and will be the start of a costume filled summer at the movies, with Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to follow, just to name a few!
