Alright, it’s my last Wizard World post, and then it’s back to the vintage, I promise. So if you’re not into Batman, Bruce Campbell or Star Wars, or never much cared for costumes, you’ll find this post pretty boring. But let’s face some facts here, I’m a girl with a lot of different passions. The…

I mentioned in my latest entries about cosplay that I would be doing a Star Wars costume to meet Lando Calrissian actor Billy Dee Williams at this month’s Wizard World Comic Con. This post will just focus on my cosplay, so look for another post soon on the event itself! So here we go… Yes.…

Not really…just, I really love wearing blues in January, as you may have noticed in my last post. I feel that blue really celebrates winter in a beautiful way, and when it came time to get dressed to go out to drinks with some friends over the weekend, I settled upon this outfit… While I…

Last night Patrick and I went to go see Frozen again. And my favorite color palette for January melded perfectly with the film… I just finished reading The Art of Frozen and was happy that I did so before seeing the film again. I was able to spy many details that may have gone overlooked…
