May the Spandex Be With You
If you’re a geek and a girl, then hopefully by now you have heard of the Black Milk Clothing company. Known for their spandex pieces and the stare worthy patterns that they put on them (bones or muscles, anyone?), Black Milk has started to change the way women wear spandex. Although they have been around for a few years now, what really put them on the map in my opinion was when they created their signature R2-D2 and C-3PO swimsuits. Pretty much every female…

A Little Nightmare for your Christmas
I was brainwashed with the world of Disney pretty early on in life. I remember carrying around a really ratty old Mickey doll all the time even though he was missing his nose and wanting Mickey everything up until I was 8. My Disney obsession came and went over the years, but once I returned to Disneyland as an teen and adult, it was back. I’m now at a point where I got to Disneyland at least once or twice…

The Ugly Sweater Dilemma

Gifts For Your Geek – 2012 edition
Christmas is right around the corner so I thought I would put together some geeky gift suggestions for the significant geek in your life!

Although I originally started out making a “girls” list and “boys” list, I realized that the “boy list” wasn’t really boy specific, so this became the “for both” list. Anyhow, read…

Book Review: The Great Showdowns by Scott C
I knew that there was something special about Scott Campbell’s art the minute I saw it. I think some of the first pieces I remember seeing were the LOST showdowns and the collection of Spider-Man doing weird stuff. Fun, cute, nostalgia, maybe even kiddish are the words I would use to describe his style. So when the folks at Titan Books asked if I would like a copy of his latest book, The Great Showdowns, I said “HELLZ YES!”, did a…

Zombie Pumpkin Speed Carving
Well, I guess it’s about time I made a youtube video. I’m not talking about clothes or crafts though. This one is a speed carving of the zombie pumpkin I did a while back. Yes, Halloween was soo last month, I know. I’m actually quite embarrassed to be putting myself on youtube land, but I had a heck of a time carving this pumpkin and wanted to take advantage that I captured most of this on video! Enjoy!
