Blatant Geekery

So it's not Friday quite yet, but I wanted to write about a cool blog that I stumbled upon. I had seen some things from her on Pinterest, but just located the blog today and as I'm working on planning my own happily ever after, I thought I'd share some of the neat ideas. Every geek couple is different. We all have our fandoms and sometimes we're lucky enough to share them with our significant other. I'm a Marvel girl and my man is DC, but somehow we make it work. :) Anyway, there's a good chance that there will be several geeky elements in our wedding...it's just who we are. I think we'll probably be more subtle about it, but it will most certainly be there. If you're reading this blog, chances are you're a geek, too. Hopefully you've found someone who you will share that with you. If you're thinking about getting yourself a permanent player 2, you should check out When Geeks Wed . Cassandra features weddings from every fandom. Whethe...

Today's Fangirl Favorite is short and very sweet. We believe that there are all different levels of cosplay and they are all wonderful and to be appreciated. I think it's cool to see people cosplay across gender or race, but it's not often that we get to see people who continue to cosplay as they get older. There was an adorable couple at Emerald City Comic Con who proved that just because we age, doesn't mean we have to get old. I haven't seen all the photos from the con, but I think they could have probably been the cutest couple at the convention. So to Popeye and Olive Oyl, wherever you are, thanks for being awesome and showing us that there's no age limit on cosplay and just having fun together! You two are our favorites this week! ~Songbird

A couple weeks ago, before stuff started showing up on the internet about the new Michael Bay movie, I decided to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with my boys. So, here's the jist of the story. Four tiny turtles begin a huge transformation after coming in contact with a mysterious green ooze. A rat who was once the pet of a great ninja master "adopts" them and teaches them the way of the ninja. While the turtles are studying in the sewers, there is a crime wave blanketing the city above. Robberies are on the rise and TV reporter April O'Neil finds herself a one of the latest victims. Unexpectedly, the streetlamp goes out....and when it goes back on, she's sitting next to a tied up pile of her attackers! Leave it to a reporter to get to the bottom of the story! April finds that behind this crime ring is the Foot Clan, led by the evil Shredder and he's not happy that she's onto him and he sends his henchmen to take care of ...
