Comic Con 2010 Wrap Up: Day 2

So you may be wondering how I fared on Friday after my crazy rockstar night on Thursday. To be quite honest, I don’t know how I made it through the day. In fact, I’m pretty sure I almost hurled while waiting on a street corner for friends. But I strapped on my big girl panties and soldiered on!

First on our to-do list? Another Tron: Legacy press event. We made our way to Flynn’s Arcade after breakfast at The Broken Yolk. That’s right, Flynn’s Arcade. They had transformed what I figure was an abandoned storefront into the legendary arcade that houses the Tron game. They really went all out for this one and had us walk through a dark tunnel where we entered an insane room covered in futuristic strip lighting. To our pleasant surprise, all the actors were just casually hanging out (minus Jeff Bridges). We walked around the room, admiring all the details before Rosy decided to get Michael Sheen’s (Underworld, Frost/Nixon, Twilight) attention and I’m so glad she did. He is quite possibly the most delightful person we met on this trip. He willingly gave us these awesome giant bear hugs (I love hugs) and kisses and was just such a joy to be around. I really just wanted to pack him into my pocket and take him home. So if you are out there, Michael Sheen, let me know if that’s possible.

Comic Con 2010 Wrap Up: Day 1

Hello, everyone! I’m back from Comic-Con and have been thrusted back into reality. I have to say, I had a pretty amazing time, especially since this year was a little different: I attended as press, helping my good friend and fellow blogger, Rosy, from Accidental Sexiness (check it out!). This pass allowed us entry into certain pressrooms as well as access to the front of ballrooms to get photos during panels.

It was such a great learning experience. I hope to be able to attend more events like these in the near future so I can share them on Melificent. I was able to meet a lot of great contacts and I have a very good feeling about the future of the blog.

Harry Potter Bound

Harry_Potter_-_29

Today we’ll be driving up to Orlando to attend The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s grand opening tomorrow. I can’t even describe the feelings I am experiencing. Being such a huge Potter fan, this is a dream come true. I am so excited to be fully immersed in the world of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle – something I could only imagine while reading the books and watching the movies. I know it will probably be a total sensory overload, but I’m ready to take on the challenge! I am especially looking forward to riding on the new attraction housed in Hogwarts Castle: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I’ve heard it is mind-blowing. Also, I can’t wait to drink Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice (& you know I’ll toast to the boy who lived).

For those of you that follow me on social networks, I’ll be live tweeting my experiences in and around the park and trying my best to upload photos to share with you all on both Twitter and Facebook.

I promise I’ll be back with a full review come next week!
The adventure begins…NOW!

Happy Hump Day: Joe Manganiello

Oh, Truebies. Something tells me Eric is going to be hoisted out from his top spot this season thanks to Joe Manganiello, who will be playing the sweet yet smoking hot werewolf sent to protect Sookie, Alcide. While reading the books, I instantly loved Alcide and saw him as the Aidan in the True Blood universe. I hope they do the character justice on the show – along with his crazy girlfriend, Debbie. One thing is for sure, a lot of ladies may be switching up teams very soon. God bless the weres! 😉

Weekend Highlights

Saturday I finally took the plunge and got my new short, hip haircut! I could not be happier – I feel so light and fresh and modern. I went to the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale and got my hair cut by my amazing friend, Alana. She’s been busting her butt to learn and perfect the art of hair and I am so pleased with what she did. I was a little nervous about the chunky highlights, but she was so confident that they would look great that those worries quickly dissipated. I feel like a new me and can’t wait to start the summer as a blonde! I’ll let you know if what they say is true and I do have more fun, although with the summer I have lined up already, I doubt I would have anything but!

Sunday night we had our first official party at the house for the season 3 premiere of True Blood! I don’t need to reiterate what a big fan I am of this show, so just suffice it to say that I was excited (& a little nervous about having people over for the first time in our new house). It was such a success! We made it a potluck since we are fridge-less until the 22nd and wow, did people make some yummy treats! Plus, we got some fun party favors and props that really made the night a lot of fun.
My personal favorite was my jug of Fang Banger – an alcoholic concoction of True Blood beverage, Sprite and Vodka. Thankfully, I woke up this morning hangover free, but I did have my fair share of these throughout the night (& I was not the only one).
I also thought the season opener was great and really held our attention (was it all the nice butt shots?) – I am both bummed and pleased that they seem to not be following the books at all, but we have yet to see what they have in store for us the rest of the season. I totally need to get used to those typical True Blood weekly cliffhangers again – how killer was last night’s??

Have a great week everyone!
