Movie fans should really enjoy Christie's upcoming movie memorabilia auction, which is scheduled to be held on December 5th. Some of the lots include a program for the Qudditch World Cup from the recent Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film, valued at £2,000, and Obi-Wan Kenobi's costume from the original Star Wars trilogy, estimated at the same price. Audrey Hepburn's little black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's is estimated to sell for as much as £70,000. Perhaps the most interesting thing at the auction will be a large collection of guns from the various James Bond movies, including the gun Sean Connery used in Dr. No, which is expected to sell for £25,000 alone.Posts with tag gun

Antonio Riello is a designer with an eye for luxury and, with this line of Ladies Weapons he blended elegant touches that are normally reserved for upscale accessories with accessories of, well, war. Using real military-issue weapons such as the American M-16, Italian Beretta, Israeli UZI and German HK 33, he adds furs, leather, jewels and bright colors to create pieces that are "hybrids born from Italian obsession for high fashion as well as for violence" for "wives of mafia bosses, arms dealers [and] sophisticated ladies."
Sophisticated ladies who need their axe, guns and grenades with them, of course.

Esque Glass Revolver
Paperweights are interesting pieces of desktop art, which is why we love them. We all know that there are not
often high-speed winds sweeping through our offices. This Esque Revolver is an exceptional example of
paperweight art. It is hand-blown glass that is shaped into a life-size revolver. Though each piece varies slightly,
they are strikingly realistic, not to mention beautiful. The glass is recycled, and the revolver can be blown in amber
or metallic blue. All pieces are custom made to order. Price: $315.
