Lando Calrissian

Myself looking at the Millennium Falcon, the back of my jacket visible, which features red, green, and white cards with symbols on them, and text reading "Fair and Square" along the bottom.

Christmas, but make it Star Wars

December 31, 2019, 3 Comments on Christmas, but make it Star Wars

Way back in October I received my very own custom hand painted Star Wars inspired jacket by my friend and fellow Star Wars fan, Solanah. But, between all the craziness that is the Halloween and Christmas seasons, I failed to find the time to do a proper reveal of the jacket. However when working on…

Hello, What Have We Here?

January 22, 2015, 7 Comments on Hello, What Have We Here?

Today Patrick and I decided to pop over to Disneyland for lunch, yeah, we do that. We both needed a break (I’ve been cramming in Etsy drafts in the weeks leading up to my first day with the Resort), and were craving corn dogs. We also snapped a few pictures of this new tee I just…

Geek Out!

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.…

BLOGGED! My first time out since December! And it BLOGGED! My first time out since December! And it was to a drive thru (because drive thru everything is life right now) car wash promoting HBO’s The Lady and the Dale, a mini documentary series about the infamous three-wheeled car set to change the world, headed by Liz Carmichael, a trans-woman. It’s one wild ride. See and read more on the blog, link on profile!

Fresh oranges and kitty cuddles make living throug Fresh oranges and kitty cuddles make living through a pandemic just a bit easier. 🍊🐈‍⬛ Visit the blog for more about our new orange tree! Link on profile!

UPDATE: I want to discuss something in this photo unrelated to oranges or CW, the blanket. This is a knock off of the iconic Hudson Bay point blanket, this version was by Golden Dawn Penco, a find at a local antique mall a few years ago. However they are vertically identical. The Hudson Bay blankets are questionably linked to the spread of small pox among the First Nations in Canada, and debate for that being intentional or not still rages. However, the blanket can cause pain for some. While aware of the blanket-small pox history, I was not aware of the direct link to Hudson Bay. I want to apologize to anyone who may have been hurt, and I plan to refrain from using Hudson Bay blankets in future content.

Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I wrote a cover story and I just now got my hands on a copy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s the first time I’ve had such an honor, and trust me, I’m very proud. As well as thankful for my friendship with @jericl . But it is mildly bittersweet, because it’s about Knott’s Berry Farm. If you’ve been following me for awhile, then you know I absolutely adored Knott’s. I even became an ambassador for them. But when police brutality as a result of racism came to a head, and companies began to take a stand with Black Lives Matter, Knott’s failed to step up. I left the ambassador program over it. It’s a convoluted subject that I wrote about in greater depth on the blog, search “Knott’s Ambassador” if you want to learn more. Link on my profile.

Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with @cerro.gordo.ca on YouTube - one man, alone in an abandoned silver mining town from the 1860s that he owns. Well, he’s not totally alone, he has some kitties and goats to keep him company! I highly recommend watching! And if you like what ya see, he has merch (including this tee and more) and a Patreon that helps him restore the place. I can’t wait to visit the place in person one day. 🏚
