Sigh….

I will try to keep this short and spoiler free for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.

As a disclaimer- yes I read Enders Game, I also read 2 of the subsequent books and loved them all. That being said, I am quite capable of taking the movie as its own entity and separate from the book. I never hold illusions that the movie will be as good as the book

-the visuals are amazing- the Battle Room is better than I could have imagined

-Harrison Ford was great as Graff

-Asa Butterfield did a great job as Ender with the little he was given.

-I found the Bugger Queen beautiful and mesmerizing

The Negatives- I will approach these with the mind set of someone who hasn’t read the book and is looking at it strictly as a movie and where it failed

-if you haven’t ...

When I first used it to turn my chestnut colored hair to a bright firy red (so authentic that I was constantly asked where in Ireland I was from) I absolutely adored it. It was hard to find but I persevered and bought enough to keep me stocked for the year. (this was about 5 years ago). Perfect color for Merida cosplay I might add.

Well apparently in that time, they have started changing the formulas and the results have changed. I stopped using the 72 color red early last year because it was no longer producing the same color.

T...

aahhhh

what can I say about PalmCon that took place on Saturday September 21st.

Althought I was not cosplaying because I was vending, it was one of the most fun and pleasant con experiences I have ever had.

This was PalmCon’s 3rd year and boy have they grown. They started out in a hall at the Polish American Club and have grown all the way to taking up an entire hall at the Palm Beach Convention Center.

One of my favorite things- other cons take notes and learn the lesson- there was a KICKASS soundtrack playing lightly over the loud speakers the entire day. Early in the day I heard the Never Ending Story theme song and that alone put a smile on my face that lasted the entire day. Other pieces of music heard throughout the day – Dr...

This is an awesome new Con and I can’t wait to be part of watching it grow.

Theres less than 85 days left so if you want a custom piece in time, best speak now.

Ok so I normally don’t brag about photos of myself. I am usually behind the camera not in front of it but I really want to share this.

At Megacon this year we were approached by the lovely Lawrence Munne during out “steampunk day” and gladly stood for pictures

well now we see the fruits of his labors

how cool is this pic guys, come on admit it- he did an awesome job especially when you consider that the background was all the convention center and people milling around.

I think its brilliant
