Fangirl Favorite

By graphics_girl

As you may have guessed, my sister and I aren't shy about letting our geek hang out. When my hair stylist asks what I've been up to, I don't have a problem telling her about the convention we just went to, or the one we're planning. Soooo, may I present my fangirl favorite for this week!!! Da dada da!

Her Universe Fangirl Tunic


When I saw this shirt on Her Universe, I knew I HAD to have one. There were some things I needed to order on Black Friday, and I kept thinking, do i do it? After fighting with myself over it, I got the best advice from my mom, "if there's something you really want, you should just get it." Thanks Mom! Since that day, I've been checking my FedEx tracking number hoping it's made it a bit closer to my mailbox. Please Mister FedEx Man, please bring my "Fangirl" shirt!!!

Besides being a really awesome and adorable shirt, I'm really excited because it's my first Her Universe purchase. I love what they represent and the merchandise is all amazing(anybody need any Christmas ideas? Songbird and I will take two of everything). Just a little background if you don't know anything about the company or Ashley Eckstein, but we might just have to relieve you of your GeekGirl card. ;)
(From HerUniverse.com)
Her Universe is the vision of Ashley Eckstein, actress and voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.Together with her partner, The Araca Group, they founded this new company to create merchandise for female sci-fi fans. Her Universe is a place for fangirls to step into the spotlight and be heard, recognized and rewarded. Female sci-fi fans are growing in numbers and have largely gone unnoticed until now. Hoping to change the perception that science fiction and fantasy is not just for the boys, Her Universe, has joined forces with Lucasfilm and Syfy to create merchandise exclusively for female fans. Starting out with apparel, accessories and cosmetics, Her Universe will make fangirls "geek chic" from head to toe!

 WATCH THIS VIDEO It's pretty inspiring.
Ashley IS a fangirl. On behalf of GeekGirls everywhere, thank you for spreading the word about us, and giving little girls more to dream for. We come in all shapes, sizes, ages, colors...you're excitement is contagious! 

Go over to Her Universe.com, buy some of the great stuff for you or your favorite fangirl and while you're there, read about all the fangirls that have been featured as "Fangirl of the Day" or nominate your own! OH, and Ashley, if you ever need models? We're both available(and we do conventions)! :)

Peeps, tell us about your favorites in the comments!

Avengers

By graphics_girl
This week's Throwback doesn't go back all that far. It takes us to the days when Avengers was filming in Cleveland. My sister was fortunate to spot Joss Whedon downtown one day, and shortly thereafter, we decided to head to Cleveland to see what we could see.   Most of the filming didn't start until evening, so we got there around 7 or 8pm. Everything was blocked off and there were so many people standing around trying to catch a glimpse of someone famous. Thankfully, most of those people weren't in it for the long haul. Graphics Girl and I ended up sitting there until everyone else had gone and all the drunkards came stumbling out of all the local bars. It was so much fun to see everything happening. We were watching the filming of everything happening outside of the opera house and biergarten. We were able to see a bit of Chris Evans (who was under heavy guard and had to wear a big cape until he was actually shooting), and LOTS of Tom Hiddleston and his body doub

Maybe a Matthew Broderick Throwback Series?

By graphics_girl
Last Friday night while scanning Netflix for a throwback from my list to rewatch, I found a great 80s classic with Matthew Broderick.  BEFORE his memorable role as Ferris Bueller, he starred as a computer genius named David in War Games. War Games takes place in the 80s during the Cold War. After a failed launch exercise (featuring Mr. Blonde, Michael Madsen ) the US government is convinced that they should give control of the nuclear program to a computer. That is, until it's hacked by a high school kid. When David (Broderick) successfully accesses this super-computer, he's trying to get into the computer of a software company to play their latest game before it's released. He unknowingly begins a showdown between the US and Russia that could lead to World War III if he doesn't help stop it.  I am not going to go into what happens....just in case you haven't seen it or it's been a while for you. (I'd like to know what you guys think....in the futu

As You Wish

By
I’ve been feeling kind of crappy lately and I thought to myself, “There’s only one movie that can pick me up right now.”   Though I didn’t have a grandfather to take care of me and read me stories when I was sick, there’s still something about watching The Princess Bride when you’re not feeling up to par.   That combined with the fact that the interwebs are buzzing about The Princess Bride heading to Broadway made this a perfect Throwback for this week. I remember when I was in the fifth grade we would, on occasion, have a “movie day” on Friday.   I convinced everyone that there was this great movie we NEEDED to watch.   I knew it line for line.   (Sadly, I forgot about the “I want my father back you SOB” line until it was right upon us and had to jump up to fast-forward it…oops.)   I don’t know if any of my friends remember watching it then.   It seems like it has a much bigger following these days, but that could just be because I was 9 and didn’t know any b
