Last week, I shared my Florida Supercon cosplay with you all, but I want to share everyone else’s amazing cosplay with you all this week. Honestly, I was so happy to see an increase in the quantity (& quality) of cosplay this year at Supercon. I’m proud that my little, at times, judgmental and superficial city is embracing their geek side. Way to go, Miami! {image heavy post}

1. Desmond Prequel; He was one of my favorite characters from LOST and the most intriguing. Do you wonder what his life was really like (in full, not just via flashbacks) before his time on the island? How about in between those flashforwards? I think it would be so amazing because lets face it, The Constant was the best LOST episode of the entire series.
I am so happy that there are so many subscription boxes coming out that aim at female geeks! It’s about time, in my opinion. Like most subscription boxes, FanMail will have a different theme every month and cater to the fashionable, yet geeky female. It is $21.99/month & usually comes chock-ful of goodies retailing at about $50 – what a deal! So what came in this month’s Fantasy box?
Well, a whole bunch of stuff did!!! The box was full of goodies, including a wedding invite to the purple wedding from Game of Thrones (who wants to be my +1?), a Toothless t-shirt from How To Train Your Dragon, Sorceror’s Stone Soap (which I’m sure will make you all sorts of magical), a gorgeous Legend of Zelda Hyrule Royal Crest necklace, Harry Potter nail decals and button, Thranduil spider brooch from The Hobbit & a couple of character pins from Once Upon a Time & Lord of the Rings.
I told you it was packed with geekery! I personally loved this box and thought that for the price, you really got a lot to choose from. Not only quantity matters, of course. I’ve reviewed other, more well-known boxes, and have been disappointed at their “filler junk.” What I liked about this box was that it had a lot of quality items that fit a broad spectrum of fandoms. For example, I’m not a Zelda fan, but my best friend is so I am going to gift her the necklace. However, every other item in this box fits my interests perfectly and they are not items I’m just going to toss. The Thranduil brooch is drop dead gorgeous, I love the pamper myself in the bath so the soap will definitely be used, I’m a nail art addict so I’m beyond excited with the decals and I love me a good dragon tee (in fact, I already wore this one to Florida Supercon a couple of weeks ago)!
Lastly, I loved the little added feature of a list of geeky media (movies, TV shows, comics) that you should check out for the month to stay up to date on all things fandom. How cool is that? I honestly can’t wait for what they will have in store for their members this month with a fun theme like Out of This World! Interested? Make sure to sign up – spots are filling up quickly!
1. Clever Girl Coppertone Tee; There are many reasons I love this shirt: the Coppertone reference being a Miami girl, Chris Pratt’s adorable butt and RAPTORS. Clearly this shirt was made for me and I must have it in my possession, like…yesterday. Belly be damned.
2. LSP purse; I wish I would have seen this one while putting together my cosplay for Supercon! How lumpin’ GREAT is this LSP purse? It is all handmade and SO FRESH TO DEATH. I may just snag it for some future everyday cosplay.
3. Doctor Who Dress; Sure, everyone is kind of sick of seeing the usual DW dresses: the TARDIS, a dalek, yeah yeah ok. However, these beautiful dresses from Etsy seller, KYOCATClothing, are so unique and beautiful! They don’t stop with Whovian fashions either – definitely check out their other designs and try not to spend your entire paycheck.
4. Cumberbatch Crop Top; Soooooooooo….this crop top is BEYOND ridiculous. I’m aware of that. But somehow, I still need it in my life. This, my friends, is what we call the struggle of a modern fangirl. For some strange reason, I feel compelled to wear Benedict Cumberbatch’s face all over my body and I’m OK with that. Sometimes I wonder if I need therapy, but then I realize the top is sold out so I can’t be the only one.

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.
