TGIFF

By
It's Friday!  That means we're dishing out some Fangirl Favorites.

This week I have two favorites.  They are both products that I've wanted for quite some time and I just got both of them as presents for my birthday.  SQUEE!!  I'm feeling pretty fortunate that I have awesome people in my life who know me so well.  

Fangirl Favorite #1 is the R2D2 Ladies' Tunic Tank.  This is one of the cutest geeky tanks out there!  I'm a big fan of all things Star Wars, so I wanted this tank from the moment I saw it. You can find it through our friends at superherostuff.com or thinkgeek.com.  Please be aware if you order that the tank is form fitting and runs small.  Some of the descriptions say tank dress, and there are some people that do wear it as a dress, but I wouldn't try it unless you have virtually no torso or are alright with showing off all your assets.  There are also Stormtrooper and Chewbacca tanks available.  I may just have to wear this to my birthday outing tomorrow!

Fangirl Favorite #2 is the Doctor Who TARDIS Mini Fridge.  Holy crap!  This is FANTASTIC! You can keep your food and beverages cold, AND it has a warming setting if you need to heat your food.  I think it may actually be bigger on the inside, as it looks pretty small, but can hold up to six 12 oz cans.  You can power it by plugging it into a regular US outlet or DC 12V car socket.  And last, but not least, it makes the awesome TARDIS Vworp Vworp noise when you open the door.  Hee hee!  Yeah...it's the little things that get me excited.  I just got this last night, but I am beyond excited to begin using it.  Everyday appliances are far more entertaining when they look like something else and have sound effects.  I just hope it doesn't excite me so much that I start eating all the time.  I'll end up turning into the Abzorbaloff or something.  That's pretty disgusting.
If you have either of these items, send us some customer shots!  We'd love to see them.

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

By
I miss Thundercats. That was a quality Saturday morning cartoon. It ran from 1985-1989. Yes, that hit me at ages 1-5, but I enjoyed watching it then and reruns later on. My brother had some pretty sweet Lion-o and Snarf figurines. The occupants of Thundera evacuate before the planet and all but one of the escape ships were destroyed. The Thundercats were all that remained and they set a course for Third Earth where they crash. With the help of his "Sword of Omens", Lion-o gives the Thundercats a chance against Mumm-Ra and the evil mutants. This cartoon was so freaking cool that it has been referenced in all sorts of pop culture avenues. The Band Reliant K has a song called I'm Lion-o , which is such a fun song to jam to. If you were a fan of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Emails, Thundercats is referenced in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8 Bit Is Enough . The series was rebooted in 2011 and was a combination of anime and western ani...

It's Throwback Thursday Time!

By
This week for Throwback Thursday, I'm taking you to camp...Space Camp. I grew up watching this movie and I love rewatching it every once in a while just to reminisce.  Since I only ever went to church camp, it's kind of fun to see a bunch of nerdy kids getting to go to camp together. The movie never really got great reviews. In fact, they usually stayed around the area of about 40-50% approval. I think part of that had to do with the Challenger space shuttle catastrophe of 1986. Unfortunately, the tragedy didn't end as well as the movie. The release date was pushed back several months due to that, but even when released, the public didn't respond well to the reminder of the events. All things considered, I think it's still a great geek movie. Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Joaquin Phoenix (then known as Leaf) Kate Capshaw, Tom Skerrit, Tate Donovan and Larry B. Scott are the lead characters in this movie. Andie, a NASA astronaut who has never actually been in spac...

Wouldn't You Think I'm The Girl, The Girl Who Has Everything

By
I was fortunate enough to grow up during the "Disney Renaissance". During this period we saw films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. BUT my very favorite of all the movies that came out during this time was The Little Mermaid. I received the movie for my sixth birthday and that was one of my favorite presents. Some of my fondest memories include reenacting scenes from the movie with my friends. I still know every word to every song, and on occasion, like to see if I can get my hair to look like this  in the bathtub. ---> Don't judge me. She had fabulous hair. Seriously...what what woman has not wanted that sexy, red hair? LOVE. Today, you can find The Little Mermaid Diamond Edition at your local store. I'm not sure why they chose to release it now instead of next year, which would have marked the 25th anniversary, but you won't catch me complaining. I'm more than happy to have this available on Blu-Ray. I hear that the digital enhanc...
