What I Wore: Mouseketeer on Wheels

IMG_7997 copy

It’s hard to believe that Geek Girl Brunch South Florida is a year old. A year ago, Aurora and I embarked on this journey and I think it’s safe to say that we never thought it would result in over 200 members. We have been able to meet so many amazing ladies that share our interests, and create a safe, no-judgement zone for these inspiring lady geeks. We get to play dress up every month and have formed some pretty incredible friendships. As an officer, it has let me fulfill my event planning fantasies and has also given me some much needed leadership skills. I’ve also had a hell of a lot of fun!

With that said, we decided to throw a first birthday at Miami’s Super Wheels. I actually had my 8th birthday party there when it was called Hot Wheels (am I dating myself?), so it definitely hit all those nostalgia feels as soon as I stepped in there. I have to admit, being a roller derby drop out, I just wanted an excuse to strap on my skates again, but I was so glad everyone else joined in on the fun. It was Disney-themed, and I decided to go retro and recreate a derby-esque vintage Mouseketeer look.

Buzz Bag Review

There’s a new fandom subscription “box” in the ‘hood, and I had a great time reviewing it this week! Buzz Bags were created by Melissa Jenkins and her goal was to provide geeky ladies with quality fandom-inspired accessories. The bags have a different theme every month and run between $15-20. You can check out past bags and future bags here!

I got a chance to receive March’s Random Fandom bag, and it was chock full of goodies! First thing I noticed was just how many accessories you receive! There was so much crammed into such a little bag! I was shocked.

Nerdy Must Haves

Butts tee; If you are looking to casual cosplay as Tina Belcher, look no farther. This perfect ringer tee with “BUTTS” emblazoned across the chest will give you all the sensual vibes you need to portray everyone’s favorite awkward teen. Or if you are just feeling sassy, you can show your love for nice behinds while getting drinks with friends on a Sunday Funday.

Sherlock holy candle; This had me in stitches. If you grew up in a Latin household, chances are there was a little bit of superstition and a little bit of witchcraft in your life. I am well acquainted with these holy candles, and seeing them rocking Sherlock and John’s faces is just too much. I’d love to plop this bad boy on the table as part of my sacred space just as a reminder to not take life so seriously.

Darth Vader sleep mask; After frequent trips abroad and around the US a couple of years ago, I realized the importance of a sleep mask to shut the rest of the world out when you really, really need some shut eye. Now there are plenty of cute and stylish sleep masks, but none more demanding of attention and obedience than this Darth Vader one!

Vintage Disney brooch; Now that I have a little one, our trips to Disney will be way more frequent (goodbye Universal annual pass). This means all sorts of new fandom accessories and clothing (for the two of us)! One of my favorite new Etsy stores is Match Accessories and I am absolutely loving their line of vintage brooches. This beautiful wooden vintage “D” would make the perfect touch for your Dapper Day outfit or just pinned to a top with a Peter Pan collar.

One of the many perks of being an officer for Geek Girl Brunch South Florida is being able to choose your favorite fandoms as a theme for a future brunch. I was ecstatic to finally host a Sailor Moon brunch, and had so much fun putting together my outfit! I knew I wanted to play on the whole biker gang sailor scout styling that I had seen roaming around the Internets, but take it down a notch, so that it would be more wearable and easy for me to move around in without feeling self conscious during our brunch.

I have to admit that I have a pretty amazing secret to share with you all when it comes to buying every day cosplay items that you may not wear consistently. It’s called AliExpress, and your wallet will thank me profusely for it. I know my bank account is ready to give me a big bear hug. That’s where the majority of my look came from, and if I told you the grand total – you may fall over.

Dress; AliExpress
Vest; AliExpress
Pins & Patches; TinInk {gifted}
Black Moon headband; RaicoDoll
Lipstick; Sephora Brand’s Cream Lip Stain in Strawberry Kissed
