Star Wars LUV & Fashion

Did you get spoilers before The Force Awakens?! I did...but I didn't believe it! It was TOO out of the realm of anything I could ever believe! So I forgot about it...until it began to happen. Then I was too shocked to take it all in. I'll have to have a second viewing to truly take it all in. But I adored it!!

What was just as important as seeing the movie, was what were Being Geek Chic and I going to wear?!

I found THIS adorable beanie at Target for only $3!!! So I bought up the rest that they had...which was sadly only three and haven't been able to find anymore since!

EVERYWHERE had something Star Wars related to wear. I went with this tee from Forever 21, my favorite faux fur vest {which reminds me of Chewy} and of course my beanie. It's COLD here in Colorado, but I'm surviving!

NOW if I could have picked anything to wear to Star Wars it would be these amazing looks by Alston Stephanus! Alston has created a haute couture Darth Vader and formal C3P0 and R2D2 designs for a The Masterpiece Strikes Back: A Fashion Exploration in Association with Star Wars event in Jakarta, Indonesia. He also made this killer Asian fusion Queen Amidala for Disney's D23 EXPO Mousequerade costume competition for Best of Star Wars this summer. Plus his SDCC cosplay this year was a MegaMan/R2D2 mash-up!

OK NOW share your favorite parts of Star Wars! I cannot wait to finally hear what everyone I love thinks!!! Also what did you wear?! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and lovely holiday season!

Geek Girls Gab with Amy Geek

I'm a blogger and geek who likes to write about everything from crafts to cosplay to Star Wars. I like when people are passionate about things.

The Nerdy Girlie:  What is your 1st nerd memory?

Amy:  I think my geek tendencies started around 10 when I read A Wrinkle in Time, but I don't remember it clearly so I tend to jump forward. I distinctly recall tuning into Star Trek: The Next Generation one night because I knew my dad liked it, and it was a Wesley Crusher-centric episode called The Game. I was hooked. I was in junior high and it wasn't too long before the series wrapped up because I remember watching best episode marathons.

TNG:  How and why did you start blogging?

Amy:  I've always enjoyed writing but for many years I just thought the only kind of writing I should do was fiction. I don't know why. And I wasn't so great at it. When I realized I could connect with others about everyday, real life stories I was sold. I started blogs about food and travel before I hit on Geek with Curves and realized I loved the heck out of blogging about my nerd passions.

TNG:  YOUR favorite blog read?

Amy:  I don't know if I can pick just one! I love to read Epbot for crafts and personal stories, I enjoy Just Jenn Recipes for all my baking needs, I adore Inn at the Crossroads for Game of Thrones/medieval style recipes, and I like reading Wil Wheaton's blog because I admire his writing style.

TNG:  What is your favorite thing/things to nerd out about?

Amy:  Oh, I'm way too enthusiastic for my own good. Star Wars is a given, especially The Clone Wars. I can talk anyone's ear off about that series endlessly. I also have a blast modifying recipes and making food from fiction and taking it to the level of crazy themed parties. It's not exactly nerdy, but I get crazy excited about Disneyland.

TNG:  Any tips for San Diego Comic Con?

Amy:  You know, I keep learning new things every year I attend. I'll go with the obvious but easy to forget: carry a bottle of water and carry snacks. Do it even if your shoulder is bruised and you can't bear the the thought of adding anything else to your bag. I can't tell you how many days I've ended up with a headache or worse after 8 hours at the convention center without eating or drinking much of substance.

TNG:  Girlie things you love?

Amy:  I have a weakness for nerd themed necklaces. I could probably wear a different one every day for a month. I have an addiction to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's perfume oils. Oh, and Disney Princesses. I've improved many a bad day by watching The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Brave, and Sleeping Beauty.

THANK YOU Amy for answering these questions.  LOVE your blog recommendations can't wait to dive more into those!  Sorry we missed each other at Wonder Con and hope we can find a time for a quick chat at SDCC!!  You can follow Amy on Twitter at: @Amy_Geek and her blog:  Geeks With Curves.

San Diego Comic Con 2010: Day 1

Day one of SDCC was nice and easy! We woke up when we wanted to this morning and took our time getting ready, I even made pancakes and bacon for the boys for breakfast. We left the house at 1030am and arrived a bit after 11am at the convention center, took us a while to get a parking spot today! We arrived and Gage had to go get his passes and we walked the floor till noon, when The Hunny wanted to head to the 38 studios panel (his brother use to work there). We walked around almost the entire floor today, didn't get in depth to it though, just kinda browsed. I found a Serenity booth and bought a graphic novel and a magnet for my car:) I got my comic con T, not the one I wanted but one in my size at least. Did not find the Dexter bags, that is my mission tomorrow! Saw one "celeb" while walking around the floor it was Mike Mizanin from the Real World Back to New York. Didn't get a good picture of him, because it was too fast, the floor was crowded and he had bodyguards with him! LOL

At 4pm we headed up to the Ballroom 20 line to wait for Dexter at 6pm. We got into the ballroom 1/2 through the Showtime Anti Heroes panel, so was able to see David Duchovny as well as Michael C Hall. Both very funny guys! After that was the actual Dexter panel and the hunny went and got us closer seats so we could actually see them instead of just on the screen. They showed a trailer for the next season and it was AWESOME!! Again Michel C. Hall was very funny, him and his wife, Jennifer Carpenter and the actor who plays his father on the show, James Remar sat on the panel along with some of the shows producers. The fan question and answer session went a bit long and in my opinion dumb questions were asked. Like what is gonna happen next season (wait and watch it!) After the panel was over while we headed out of the Ballroom we were handed Dexter pins, so that made my day:) That was the end of our 1st day at Comic Con, we headed home and ate 3 large zPizzas and cookie cake:)

San Diego Comic Con 2011: Day 4

We gave ourselves time to sleep in and ended up leaving the house by 9am.  Dad was too pooped to come this last day!

As soon as we got there, we walked on to the floor, and it was nice!  Not as crowded at Saturday.  We were there for about 3 minutes when we walked past Gollum aka Andy Serkis!  He was with his kids and chatting up Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew.  I did a double take as we got closer and totally pointed at him and said kinda loudly...THAT'S Gollum!!  His small children looked up at me like I was a werdio...as we past, I stopped for a quick shot.  We walked about 20 feet more and I almost ran into Sam Witwer from Being Human!!!  Again I yelled to John, with Sam pretty close to me....THERE'S SAM!!  John called me a stalker, but I DIDN'T follow him, so I wasn't!  :)  

We ended up walking around the floor together and separately on and off waiting to get in the H Hall line for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia panel.  This artist was using Sharpie markers to draw a Star Wars mural on a VW throughout the con and it was AMAZING!

Loved this Voltron statue.

Was excited to see all the NEW Futurama toys getting ready to come out!  Was SUPER happy to see these three.  Also they had coming out the robot mafia figures.  

When I re-met up with the hunny, he told me he spotted the Sunny cast and that they were signing at the Fox booth.  So we walked by and for poeple who didn't have a signing ticket, the security had made a photo walking line.  I didn't get a good picture of Dee, but Mac looked right at me for this one and after I took it, I smiled and waved and he waved back!  :)  After this we headed over to the H Hall line.

Ferb is a NERD too! :)

The Hunny gets a hold of the camera.

So the H Hall line was a mad house, when we arrived Glee fans were piling out and Supernatural fans were trying to get in.  I was kinda hoping we were early enough to get into Doctor Who panel.  But our line was stopped with less than 100 left...so no Doctor Who for us.  But after a 3 hour wait, in the blazing sun!!, we finally got in for The Cleveland Show panel.  They showed part of their Comic Con episode which was cool, now I want to see the rest.  Then it was finally time for the SUNNY panel!!!  The whole cast came out in their Nightman Cometh costumes on!  We got to watch an entire new episode from the new season and then there was time for a Q&A.  The very last and best question was asking them to sing the Nightman song...it was STUPENDOUSNESS!!  

We got out of the Sunny panel just in time for me to get my LAST Nathan Fillion sighting of the con.  I hauled butt over to the CA Browncoats booth for his signing.  I didn't have tickets but was happy just to get a few pictures....and here is his disguise from yesterday....

Nathan Fillion coming out of the Hard Rock Hotel and heading to the Con.

I LUV DEXTER!!

My cute hunny in my hat...he looks cute in hats now that he has long hair!  This was defiantly the BEST SDCC for me!  The 1st two years I was so happy to just be there, that I wasn't paying attention to the people around me (celebrities).  It is such a TREAT to see people that you love to watch on TV/Movies in real life!  50 weeks till next years San Diego Comic con!!!!
