Your Fandom Documentary Fix. Here's what I like to watch when I'm having dork withdrawals. Monster Camp follows a Seattle chapter of NERO, a Live Action RolePlaying organization, and a few of their key members. And a great primer for what LARP-ing is like, if you've only ever seen an after-school club going at it in the quad on your way to class. I saw it at SIFF a few years ago and I've probably watched it at least once a year ever since! Leaving Mundania includes some really beautiful interviews about ...

Why is there a Sailor Moon tornado in the living room? This Sunday, I'm packing up my Sailor Moon collection to put it on display at the Washington State Fair! I can't wait to show you guys (and actual people in real life) my Sailor Moon treasures - especially some of the new ones! In honor of Sailor Moon's 20th Anniversary and thanks to my boyfriend's encouragement, I submitted my sparkly Sailor Moon corner! It was a teen girl magazine with things like articles on Britney Spears and chapters of Sailor M...

GeekGirlCon 2014 Trip Report. Free XBOX Games, a dream date in a box, and an amazing Louise hoodie! I can't believe it's the middle of October already! When did that happen? It seems like I was just. Panicking about making costumes for GeekGirlCon. At the beginning of this month. And now t's over and time to start panicking about Halloween costumes! I was shocked to learn that my Louise cosplay from last year was on the GeekGirlCon website AND cover of the strategy guide AND another one inside too! I had...

Moon Collection. Update! I finally got my preorders the other day, so I thought I'd share some of the new additions to my Sailor Moon corner. Look at that gorgeous pile of magical girl goodness! This round came from Jlist. Whom I've had very good experiences with over the last few years. They can be a little more expensive but their customer service has been excellent when I've needed to change/cancel orders I've already placed. And lately, I've liked EVERYTHING. Here's the nesting bento set! It's a plas...

Saturday: Evan and I with a lovely Disney cosplay group! Wondercon has come and gone - and I suppose I've recovered enough now that I can write about it! I was so happy to learn that Wondercon was coming to the Anaheim convention center this year - that's practically in my backyard! So of course Evan and I were there all weekend. And we enjoyed free parking since Disney's Toy Story lot was right across the way! Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and History of Comic Book Censorship. Comics Arts Conference: Fe...

Ready for ECCC 2014? I've cleared all the candy wrappers and junk off my sewing table because it's THAT time of the year again. Emerald City Comicon. I have a pile of cosplay related things to take care of this week and I foresee a couple trips to Joann's for emergency supplies. In fact, I still haven't figured out what I'm wearing on Friday! I've definitely made time to comb the ECCC program for fun panels though - and while I mull over my cosplay options, I figured I'd share my picks with you! Because ...

Alright, its been over a month since Comic-Con and this trip report is overdue! To be honest, we were a lot more disorganized with our convention plans this year. For example, the night before we left, I was up all night putting finishing touches on multiple costumes - one of which, I finished and didnt even end up wearing! Lucy and Ricky status w/ separate beds. Give me a beat! The other bonus to staying down on the waterfront was that we were near the USS Midway - which is not something I would have be...

Deadlight is Dead Wrong About Seattle. Plenty has been written about Deadlight's (abysmal) story and (pretty good) gameplay. I'm here to complain about the setting. One of the main reasons I bought this game, and now feel compelled to review it, is that it was supposed. To be set in Seattle. However, once Wayne starts moving through the game it becomes clear that the developers didn't even bother to google Seattle. F- for attention to detail. I'm disappointed. I don't understand why anyone would choo...

Penny Arcade Ruins PAX 2013 and Trip Report. Waiting to play counterstrike for the first time since 9th grade. Before I talk about PAX, I need to talk about the Penny Arcade and dickwolves thing. If you haven't heard about dickwolves, you can read a great round up of everything awful here. You'll notice that yesterday, Mike Krahulik said he regretted engaging and removing dickwolves merch from their store. So, no more PAX for me! You Game Like a Girl. Panels about being a woman in geek culture are my fav...

Or Are you there phone? It's me, Emily. Let's take a quick break from Sailor Moon to talk about periods and technology. A couple months ago, I finally found the app of my dreams - Clue. It's a period/fertility tracking app - that is stylish AND functional. Seriously. Have you ever turned to the app store in hopes that it would have something to help you keep track of your uterus business? I've been using it for a few months now and as it adjust to my data, it gets more and more helpful. Does anyone else ...
