Sailor Moon choker; like every good 90’s kid, I am obsessed with chokers returning to the fashion scene. I have a bunch in my arsenal already, but I haven’t yet added some of the fandom variety. Cue amazing Sailor Moon choker. I love that it’s bright pink and has hardware, making it look a little pastel goth-y. Add the moon wand and we have hit perfection. Snag yours on Amazon for less than $15.

Always tee; if you don’t know about La Barbuda, then let me introduce you. She has such amazing geeky designs that make my heart swell and my wallet weep. Some of my favorites are her tee shirts, like this Always print. But she has stickers, prints and pins a plenty. If you are currently budgeting like I am, I am so terribly sorry for introducing you to this site. But misery loves company, you know.

Cylon raider necklace; Auburg Designs has always been a favorite of mine, and I am currently obsessed with their patina Cylon Raider necklace. I was late on the BattleStar Galactica train, and so sad I was. I even attended a BSG concert during SDCC one year and the entire cast was there mingling. I had only watched a few episodes here and there, but the hubs and friends were obsessed. They were beyond themselves hanging out with cast members, and I was all…erm, ok. How I wish I could rewind time! Anyways, this frakkin’ necklace would make up for it.

Dragon necklace; you have to remember the total lust and excitement all us Game of Thrones fangirls experienced over Dany’s amazing dragon necklace in Season 5. We were all left wanting it immediately after we saw it wrapped around her neck, and the time is now. Seems like we can get something pretty similar over at Art by Aelia. They are referred to as “Dragon Drapers,” and a lot are currently available for preorder. You can even get one custom made! Don’t get too excited, mothers of dragons!

5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Aliens

Fandom Friday

Brought to you by The Nerdy Girlie & Super Space Chick

Who doesn’t love thinking of the possibilities that space could offer? Other universes, potential alternative home planets and, most intriguing, other life forms. Are we really alone in this expansive universe? It’s an age old question (and one the History Channel loves to delve into) that has had our culture obsessing over alien life for quite awhile. It’s no surprise that aliens are commonly included in most sci-fi shows and movies: both depicted as evil and adorable. So without further ado, here are 5 of my favorite aliens:

1. The Doctor; You know that The Doctor would make it to #1 on my list, right? Duh. Although he is an alien, The Doctor represents hope in humanity and acceptance. He helps others grow and discover who they truly are, and how special they are. He warmed my heart during my darkest of times, so The Doctor (specifically 10) is my all-time favorite alien.

Happy Hump Day: Michael Trucco

Never thought I would be saying this, but I love Battlestar Galactica. I actually cannot wait to start eating my way through the final two seasons now that I no longer have to spend every waking hour studying for my exam. It’s everything good about TV and storytelling and…it also has a lot of eye candy. Namely, Michael Trucco. He’s pretty.

Happy Hump Day: James Callis

james_callis

I definitely have something for British men, so it was no surprise that I immediately loved Baltar, played by James Callis, during the very few episodes of Battlestar Galactica I caught randomly as my husband played catch up over the weekends. I then unfortunately embarrassed myself to no end last year at Comic-Con when my friend, Fullman, got us tickets to see the BSG Orchestra in concert and I drunkenly stumbled towards Mr. Callis, grabbed his arm, pulled him over from his group of friends and told him I thought he was “so awesooommmme.” True story. Now when I see the poor man on FlashForward, that is basically all I can think about. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol. 😉

Enjoy the nerd-licious picspam, ladies!

Comic-Con Recap: Friday

Friday was our first day where we all had panels we wanted to attend. However, we were 6 people with 6 different fandoms so we decided to split up in order to maximize everyone’s day. I chose the Coraline, Flash Forward, 9 and District-9 panels. Boy, was it a long day! We started off believing we wouldn’t get into the Coraline panel at all because of the massive line, but were able to score 3rd row seats to the right of the stage. So stoked! While waiting for the panel to begin, we notice that Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood’s rebellious teenage vampire, Jessica) was sitting directly behind us! We asked her for a picture and she was the absolute sweetest girl ever. She was very meek and quiet – she spoke so low you could barely hear what she said. Total doll. And that hair? Beautiful!

The Coraline panel was mind-blowing. They showed behind the scenes clips from the DVD of all the meticulous work that went into creating the stop-motion flick. I could not believe how tedious it is and even more so  – how passionate all these animators are about their work. They love every second of it. It’s such a beautiful thing to watch! Everyone pick up a copy of this DVD – such a timeless and amazing movie.
