New Her Universe Clothes to Debut At Star Wars Weekends

I really want to go to The Star Wars weekends at Disney. There are very few places to meet large groups of Star Wars fans and totally get my SW geek on. 

But even more of a reason is the fact that Her Universe is debuting more awesome geek wear there and I desperately want it all!!

I totally want the rebel pilot dress and tank and both the Asajj Ventress and R2-D2 hoodies! Those are fantastic! 

The new Padme nouveau shirt will go so well with the one I already have. And the Darth Vader and Han Solo shirts make me squeal with geek glee!

I just want everything. Is that so bad?

Since there's no way I can make it to Florida to buy these, I guess I'll just have to wait until they start selling them on the website. Please hurry Her Universe, you're my only hope....

Kick-Ass Concept Shoes

I miss wearing fancy shoes. When I was a receptionist, I was always wearing different heels to match my different outfits. In my work closet was a row of amazing shoes just ready and waiting for me to change into once I got to work.

These days, I'm on my feet all day. Do you know what that means? 

Practical shoes. 

Runners, flats, loafers.... it's so dull.

My nice shoes sit in my shoe rack just longing for a special occasion.

Sometimes a special pair of heels comes along that are nothing like anything you've ever seen before. You know if you owned them, you would wear them everywhere, even if they don't really go with anything you own.

These are those kinds of shoes.

It started with Disney Villains. How can you see these shoes and not want them?

I love the way the outfits are made into the actual foot wear and the faces of the villains, themselves, are inside. Very cool. Perhaps even cooler than the other villain shoes I posted about.

These babies are the design of Kobi Levi. You've probably seen some of his other shoes floating around the internet before now. I just came across his site, and if I thought these were awesome, I was even more flabbergasted for his other designs.

These are some of my favorites.

I really, really want the violin and shark ones the most. I have no idea what I'd wear them with, but I don't care. I'd find something.

Then again, after looking at the price, if I could ever afford a pair of these, I'd probably keep them on a shelf and only look at them longingly.

If you have extravagant taste and the money to spare, you can purchase these, and many others, here.

thanks to Geekologie for having great taste in women's shoes.

The 4th Will Be With You, Always

It's Star Wars Day!!

Are you excited? I know I am. I'm celebrating all weekend! I'm actually more excited about this than May 2-4 weekend! Sure, long weekends are awesome, but May the 4th only happens once a year.

Star Wars.com offers these cute e-cards that you can send out to those you love. And since I love you guys, here they are

Ok, ok. So I didn't get this out in time yesterday. To be fair, I was caught up with my dashing rogue. It's not often I get to spend Star Wars Day with someone else. So it was super awesome that he was as stoked about doing SW things as I was!

We picked up the first 3 seasons of The Clone Wars. He's only seen a few episodes and we decided it would be fun to watch them together.  Over the weekend, we made it half way through the 1st season.

We went out walking through the city with some friends and saw lots of people wearing SW shirts. Mine also got noticed quite a bit. It's nice to get a friendly compliment or a head nod from a fellow geek. I even got to fan-girl with another geeky girl wearing a Han Solo shirt. She loved my shirt, I loved her shirt... it was geek at first sight.

I've never really made SW themed food before, other than desserts, so we set about trying to make some fun meals over the weekend.

I mixed up some Blue Milk, so we could make Banthamilk pancakes.

 And whipped out my Williams-Sonoma pancake molds.

 Ok, so the yellow of the egg and the off white of the pancake mix turned them green, but it was pretty fitting as far as Yoda was concerned.

The pancake molds are a little hard to use, but the more I made, the better they got.

Something about having a Darth Vader pancake on my Darth Vader flipper was both amusing and awesome. See, it fits so well.

We had all these brilliant plans on how to decorate out pizza to be SW-esque, but by the time we go around to making it, we forgot and made it how we normally do.

We decided afterwards that it probably looked like the stomach of a Sarlacc. 

So there you have it, Sarlacc stomach pizza...

For dessert, we tried to get a little more creative. We picked up some cookies and cream ice cream and I through together some cocoa snaps. 

I present to you;

Hoth shield generator after it's been destroyed.

Pretty awesome, huh? Yeah, I thought so too.

The other awesome thing we did this weekend, was finish off my ISO Girl outfit for the 501st and take preliminary photos. Now I just have to send them in to get approved. 

What do you think?

So how did you spend your Star Wars weekend? Did you dress up and go dancing? Did you stage an epic lightsaber battle in the park? Did you talk Star Wars to someone? Comment and let me know.

May The Force Be With You

Talk Geeky To Me

Talk Star Wars To Me

It's Sexy

Now, you all know by now that that's my motto.

Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

I've been perusing Red Bubble as of late and I came across Trekvix (which is an awesome name, btw)

Trekvix, also, seems to believe in geek love. And I love her for it.

She's offering a fabulous selection of t-shirts that she calls Geek Talk

Now do you see why I'm so excited? These are fantastic!!! I want all of them! Well, most of them. Some of them aren't my fandom, but I'm soooo glad that she covers all sorts of fandoms for all sorts of different geeks! Maybe I can talk her into making me a Star Wars one ;)

As I always say; get out there and talk geeky to someone

New Halloween Costumes

It's April, and you know what that means?

It's time to start thinking about Halloween! Or at least Con season.

I always find it strange that new Halloween costumes start coming out in April. Seems a bit early to me. But I guess one can never be too prepared.

Plus, more Star Wars costumes for women! YAY!  

They're not just Star Wars and they're mot just for women, but I like that I'm the target audience for most of these.

Star Wars

I love this new Darth Talon costume. Well, except for the weird inflatable head piece. That thing's strange...  The rest of the costume is pretty good, though.

I'm happy that they went with the more adult Ahsoka Tano look. It's easier to paint your arms and face orange than the whole top of your body. If you're going for authenticity, that is.

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole sexy, Femtrooper look. Ok, it's not that. I've never really felt the appeal of dressing as a Stormtrooper, but if I did, I'd want my armor to look less plastic-y.

These next ones seem to be causing some controversy and I can understand why

I, however, LOVE THEM! (don't judge me) 

I know, I know, what's with the weird skintight schoolgirl look? Why not just give women normal costumes that actually fit us properly instead of these weird hybrid outfits?

I don't care. I want them all! Especially the X-Wing Pilot, promptly followed by the Darth Vader, Boba Fett and then the Stormtrooper!

The one thing I really don't get about these costumes are the toques. They seem kind of out of place. They're awesome, (except for the Boba Fett one. It's totally lame) but don't match the costumes at all. They'd be better off selling them separately. 

Also, I would totally wear these shoes with the Boba Fett one. Perfect, right?

 

You thought those costumes were weird? Here are the really strange ones, and they're not even aimed at women! (although women could still wear them, these are actually aimed at men)

Be warned. What is seen cannot be unseen

yeah.... I warned you.

Now, there's nothing wrong with these per-say, (except for the Chewbacca one. That thing is terrifying) and if you're into this sort of thing, all the power to you. 

I have pretty awesome body confidence, but even I wouldn't feel comfortable in these. Add a ruffly skirt to it and then we can talk ;)

The Darth Maul one would work really well with a pair of black pants over top and glued on horns, making it the most realistic of the 3 costumes. I don't have any suggestions for the Darth Vader or Boba Fett ones, though.

My final thought on these is this; what type of shoes do men wear with skin tight, Star Wars costumes? Ponder it and let me know what you come up with.

Comics

aka Batman Villains

The Riddler and The Joker are the first marketed costumes I've ever seen for cross-play. I kinda like it. Well, I like the Riddler dominatrix outfit. It even comes with it's own riding crop?

The Joker outfit, on the other hand, is pretty terrible. Had it not been for the green wig, I don't think I would've figured out if who it was suppose to be.

 

Want to be Harley Quinn? Who doesn't? The thing about that is that she's beginning to be played out. So how can you breath new life into her? By making her Sexy

No? How about by being Arkhan Assylum Harley Quinn?

Still to played out? How about Arkham City Harley Quinn?

Still not feeling it? How about Harlequin one that's doing it's best to be Harley Quin without actually being Harley Quinn?

One small rant about these pictures.... Why do they all look as if they've been crying? Are they crying because they're bad? I don't really know what the make-up people were thinking with this look.

Muppets

Like the Star Wars dresses, these are a little odd, but super cute! I would wear the Kermit one and the Animal one all the time! I love the ears that come with Miss Piggy's dress, and the bangles that come with Animal's are divine! My favorite accessory is The Fozzy neck-tie/belt! What a super cute idea!

80's Fun

The She-Ra outfit isn't new, but I still really love it. I would totally love to dress up as her. She was one of my hero's growing up, as well as Cheetara. The wig is kinda horrible, but that just makes me like it more. This costume does seem to be lacking some spots, but those could easily be added on later.

Now, this last one isn't really 80's, other that I remember it from then.

Do you remember Fun Dip?

I do, but not like this...

 I know I've done dresses like this before, but this one is just weird and kind of creepy, especially compared to the men's costume. I can just imagine the inappropriate comments about it, especially with that lick-a-stick...

 Just a quick reminder; Cosplay IS NOT Consent!!

Not that you probably need reminding, but it's always good to throw out there anyway.

So, what costumes would you choose? I'm still leaning towards sexy X-Wing!

Thanks to Club Jade for the Star Wars costume info. Now go out there and get cosplaying!
