Here’s the running tab of Fifty Shades of Grey in the media for March of 2013:

  • SPANK will be in New Orleans, Chicago, Upper Darby – PA, Columbus – OH, and Kansas City. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
  • Matt Bomer has revealed his favorite places in New York City.  Ok, it’s not exactly Fifty Shades related, but we’re in NYC so we thought it was cool.
  • The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Smash Pictures is countersuing Universal for their lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement of Fifty Shades of Grey.  Smash is claiming that the story is public domain.  I’m not lawyer, but I’m thinking that E L James owns her own work.
  • Lovehoney has announced the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Collection in the United States for April 8.
  • The Hollywood Reporter reports that Anonymous reports that they found a document in a German Studio attaching Emma Watson to the Fifty Shades of Grey film.  The studio says the document is outdated, proof that it existed. But there is no indication that this was even a serious document, particularly since the company is linked with Summit Entertainment, not a Universal subsidiary.
  • The Hollywood Reporter is reporting a deal was settled between Smash Pictures and Universal in regards to the XXX adaptation.  Smash is paying an undisclosed amount and cannot distribute the film anymore.
  • Kate Moss has read Fifty Shades of Grey for charity, watch on Youtube.
  • The Washington Post reports that Fifty Shades of Grey has been on their bestseller list for 50 weeks.  What a lovely number.
  • The Escala penthouse has been sold, the owners are not named Grey.
  • Random House has sold 70 MILLION copies of the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Operating earnings for Random House increased 76% last year. Random House thanks Fifty Shades of Grey and a few other books for their overall sucess last year.
  • Marketwire reports that the Fifty Shades of Grey Official Pleasure Collection is coming to Canada, I know a lot of Canadian’s are pleased with PinkCherry for bring this to them.

Official Fifty Shades of GreyTM Fine Jewelry Collection Released

TIEf2d105

New York, NY – February 4, 2013 - A Scrolled Skeleton Key, Sexy Double-Handcuffs, and Christian Grey’s Tie.  And no, you don’t have to wait for Mr. Grey to invite you into his playroom to enjoy these pleasures.  These signature styles from designer Janet Cadsawan’s Fifty Shades of GreyTM collaboration with Fifty Shades trilogy author E L James will be available to the public February 4, 2013 on Amazon.com

This unique collaboration developed after years of Cadsawan creating cult collections of fashion-forward fine jewelry inspired by stories.  Cadsawan’s genius for melding fantasy with fashion climaxes in every piece, allowing the wearer to carry the essence of the story in a chic, secretive accessory.

“When a story – whether it’s a book, movie or TV show – has a soul, we never want it to end,” says Cadsawan. “The jewelry I create lets the story live forever in wearable art. The story and characters’ DNA are embedded in say, a magic ring or locket or in the case of Fifty Shades of Grey, a riding crop necklace. These symbols link together the romance of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.”


The full 25 piece Fifty Shades of Grey Fine Jewelry Collection, available in April of 2013, includes Mr. Grey’s Charms, Flogger Lariat, Double-Handcuff Bracelets, and Cuff-and-Key earrings.  Prices range from $150 – $1000.

For now, these three pieces are available for preorder from Amazon.com and will be shipped on February 14th.  When your significant other gives you a crappy card and wants to make up for the poor gift, send him to Amazon!

We are working on getting some more information on this line for you, so stay tuned to the site for more information!

Today’s Christmas List item is:

Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album

If you haven’t heard it before, it’s very nice.  Lets just say, Christian has good taste in music.  I actually received mine as a gift when saw E L James on the Katie Couric show.  It’s great for those times when you want to just relax and quite a few are good for the bedroom…

Shades of Grey Body Wash!

Todys holiday recommendation comes all the way from Pittsburgh, PA.  It’s a product I had purc

hased over the summer, wrote a review about and then never got around to publishing: Grey Body Wash.

Back a few months ago when we first started the blog a reader found Grey Body Wash, being made by a local company, well I went to college in PA and I have a dear friend in Pittsburgh so it’s local in my heart, I thought I should give it a try so I ordered myself a bottle.
Grey Body Wash has a lovely linen scent that’s not overpowering.  I use it every few days for fun it smells great in the shower, but doesn’t leave enough of a scent for anyone to notice.  Possibly a good thing, depending on who noticed it.

Handcuff Bracelet!

Over the summer I decided that I was going to buy myself a piece of jewelry with a handcuff on it.  I wanted it to be a little bit more substantial in size and weight.  While researching I came across an online jewelery site called emitations.com.  I found exactly what I was looking for “Caines Handcuff Bracelet”.

5 months later, it looks as good as the day i first wore it!

Kristen James has come up with a new workout: Fifty Shapes Workout

For just $9.99 you can:
“A better body image leads to better sex! The 50 Shapes Workout will have your body, and mind, in the best shape of its life! You will gain greater overall strength, endurance, and stamina. Your body will be leaner and tighter, and you’ll develop the most important muscle of all for sex – your brain.”

According to Fitness Magazine you’ll just need a chair and some mats, not a big investment.

I’m sure many of you are thinking you might like to lose a few pounds or tone your body.  So how about the Fifty Shapes way?

For the men out there, we do not recommend this as a Christmas gift.

Entertainment Weekly reports that CopCorp and H.E.R have announced a line of Fifty Shades of Grey costume jewelry is in the works.  I believe this is part of the original licensing agreement that E L James made this summer.  No timeline has been set for when it will be available.  But here’s to a pair of second chance earrings!

The New Line of Fifty Shade of Grey Pleasure Collection

Lovehoney has announced that pre-orders are available for their line of Fifty Shades of Grey Pleasure Collection.
I’m not going to post any photos of the merchandise since we are not an adult site.  But the merchandise is all stuff from the books and maybe a few extra items.  Everything from silver balls to floggers.
There are also packages designed for beginners to pushing hard limits…
From their press release: 
The Fifty Shades of Grey sex toy and bondage range is now exclusively available for pre-order at http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/fiftyshadesofgrey/
There is limited stock and we anticipate high demand, so pre-order now!
Lovehoney offers free delivery to the UK & Ireland, USA, Australia, France, Spain, Germany and many other countries.
I have to admit, I was nervous when I saw it was a UK company and the prices were in Pounds, but it looks like those of us in other countries can order too!  And with Christmas right around the corner, feel free to send a link to your husband or significant other.
Tip if you’re buying and are not from a country that uses the Pound, check your credit cards for ones that do not charge a foreign transaction fee.
