Fifty Shades Of Grey - Trailer_ by [Joan E. Greve](https://time.com/author/joan-greve/) ## Joan E. Greve Jul 24, 2014 3:50 PM UTC Fifty Shades Of Grey - Trailer by [Joan E. Greve](https://time.com/author/joan-greve/) ## Joan E. Greve Jul 24, 2014 3:50 PM UTC The trailer forthe new _Fifty Shades of Grey_ film [dropped Thursday](http://time.com/3023563/50-shades-of-grey-trailer/), leaving fans to count the days until it’s released on Valentine’s Day 2015\. For those who can’t possibly wait that long, here are five ways to get your _50 Shades_ fix before next February: **Try on some** **_Grey_** **\-inspired** **lingerie** Designed in part by _50 Shades_ author E.L. James, [this collection](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/08/the-50-shades-of-grey-empire-now-includes-a-lingerie-line/) of bras, briefs, negligées and stockings comes in a variety of colors: Black, red and (of course) gray. Customers can also purchase the title-inspiring gray tie that Christian wears in the book and a black mask to take things to the _50 Shades of Grey_ level. **Drink a glass of** **_50 Shades of Grey_** **wine** E.L. James has created an entire industry around tiding over her impatient fans. The business-savvy author (who has already made an estimated $100 million from the trilogy) teamed up with California winemakers to blend a [collection of wines](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/09/24/50-shades-of-stupid-el-james-releases-50-shades-wine/) specific to _50 Shades of Grey._ The collection has both red and white, and the red “has flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, creamy caramel and vanilla, leather and clove spice.” Leather? Well, at least one flavor stays true to the book. **Cook up a recipe from** **_50 Shades of Kale_** “What’s the sexiest handful of foliage? A fistful of Kale battles cancer, inflammation, and low moods,” the _50 Shades_\-inspired cookbook’s website [reads](http://50shadesofkale.com/). It features 50 recipes centered around the sensual vegetable, fit for vegans and gluten-free fans alike. And for those fans worried that a cookbook won’t help them get their _50 Shades_ of sexy fix, the authors assure, “50 SHADES OF KALE is a fun and sexy romp powered by kale.” **Take a** **_50 Shades of Grey_** **vacation** Seattle is so beautiful this time of year. Why not enjoy the city by staying at the [Hotel Max](http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/06/take-a-50-shades-of-grey-vacation/), which previously offered guests a special package featuring perks from billionaire Christian Grey’s lavish lifestyle? Don’t forget to drink a bottle of Bollinger Rosé (Anastasia Steele’s drink of choice) before taking a helicopter tour around the city (unfortunately not piloted by Christian Grey). **Just reread the books** It never gets old reading a dozen different descriptions for Christian’s copper-colored hair while Anastasia continually insists that she isn’t pretty. You should have a refresher on which sex scenes come when anyway, so you’re ready to critique the film for its accuracy. After all, there’s a pretty high standard to uphold. ## Transcript [00:09] So this is just an interview for the newspaper. I [00:13] just have a couple of questions. Mr. Gray will see you [00:17] now. [ MUSIC ] What [00:25] was he like? He was polite, [00:31] intense, smart really [00:35] intimidating. Do you have any interests outside [00:39] of work? Well, what about you? I'd like to know more [00:40] about you. There's really not much to [00:45] know about me. Look at me. I am. [00:50] To what do [00:56] you owe your [01:00] success? I exercise control in all things Ms. Steele. It [01:01] must be really boring. [ MUSIC ] I'm capable of leaving [01:01] you alone. Then don't. [01:30] [ MUSIC ] I had a rough start in life. You should steer [01:34] clear of me. [ MUSIC ] I don't [01:39] do romance. [ MUSIC ] My tastes [01:43] are very singular, you wouldn't [01:47] understand. [ MUSIC ] Enlighten me then.
