Something Patrick and I do quite often, but doesn’t get talked about here on the blog, is participate in monthly neighborhood clean-ups through Green Bird.

Early on during the COVID-19 quarantine, I asked for blog post ideas, and someone suggested that I write about how we were coping with the whole situation. Well, one way I’m coping is watching Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood repeatedly. Like, I’m not joking. I’ve watched at least six times in the last five months.…

As mentioned in my previous post, today I’m sharing the costume I made and wore to D23, but first a little bit of backstory… When entering Disneyland one of the first things Guests see are posters for the various attractions and restaurants.

Last weekend I dipped my toe back into the cosplay and con waters. It’s be awhile, but I was lucky enough to receive a pass to WonderCon from a friend. However, with a lot of other projects on the books, along with helping another friend make her first ever cosplay, I opted for a simple…

Last night Patrick and I attended our third Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland. (You can take a peek at the last two years here and here.) Unlike every Halloween since college, where I made a costume, this year I had to come to terms that I didn’t have the time. That, combined with the fact…

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…

Back in November I blogged about working on my second Dixie Cousins costume for Portland’s Wizard World Comic Con.
