Bit by the Fangasm Bug

So I couldnt resist when I discovered that Syfy was launching yet ANOTHER show that would assuredly grab my attention... Fangasm! Surprisingly enough it is from the same producer that brought you the infamous Jersey Shore (yuck) but dont get turned off by that, give this show a chance, even if it is a small one :P In a nutshell, 7 nerds hailing from varying stereotypes (cosplayers, comic freaks, trekkies, etc) all live together in an LA apartment complex in the pursuit of a common goal; a career opportunity to work for American comic book writer, Stan Lee within his organization. I have come to adore a few characters, while get rather turned off by others (actually just one in particular). My favorite would have to be the ever so quirky Andrew Duvall, who also happens to be the resident trekkie expert. I'm much more of a Star Wars chick myself, but Andrew is so irresistibly dorky you cant help but be taken in by his rather endearing awkwardness. My LEAST favorite so far has got to be Molly McIsaac... I have had a real hard time liking this girl. She is constantly stepping up on this feminist soap box, spatting venomous lines at anyone/anything that might objectify the female body... but then she has no problem stepping into a skin hugging bodysuit all in the name of Cosplay. She doesnt seem to like attractive Cosplayers either. Watch out girls! If you have fit bod', proud of it, and are also into Cosplay, she will probably sear holes into your soul with her gaze! This type of behavior is ONLY acceptable if you dont automatically fall into the category of "sexy" :P ... come on girl, give us a break. You practically fell all over yourself when supermodel Adrianne Curry made an appearance on the show... your mixed signals are a little confusing... get it together, woman! Anyways, on to the rest of the cast. My second favorite on the show is definitely little Dani Snow, she is too cute! Sugar, spice, and everything nice, is the best way to sum her up. And she's a Star Wars fan and acclaimed Harry Potter expert... winning! There is also Kristin Hackett (unfortunately I feel like this girl sort of gets lost in the crowd, so far she is not so memorable, but there is still plenty of time for her to make her niche in the bunch!), Mike Reed (who has this AWKWARD sexual tension with Molly, he's actually a really cool dude and quite into her, but she would rather waste time making him feel guilty over even glancing at other girls even though they arent dating, instead of actually exploring anything beyond friendship... Molly! Again with the mixed signals! Quit playing games, yeesh!), then there is Paul Perkins who is nothing short of NICE, and then the comedic Sal Fringo. Overall I really enjoy this show, but I can definitely see where SallyAnn Salsano brought in the influence of Jersey Shore and perhaps borrowed a few ideas from The Big Bang Theory of TBS. In any case, if you're a nerd, a fan of nerds, into Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Books, Harry Potter, or anything else you might think would be relevant... you will probably dig this show. Check it out! See for yourself:)

GoGo: Fluffies vs Boots

Normally I wouldnt care too much about this as it really IS just a matter of personal preference, but nowadays it seems to have been taken to a whole different level; a matter of PROFESSIONALISM and how seriously you are taken. So here we have the great debate; Fluffies Vs Boots.

Some of you may be scratching your heads and asking... "Wtf is fluffie?"... a "fluffy" is simply a faux fur leg warmer/boot cover, a fashion trend that reigns supreme in not just the gogo world now but the EDM culture in general. The thing of it is though, it wasnt always just a TREND. Fluffies actually serve a functional purpose in the world of dancers believe it or not, but sadly, most dont even know what it is and will blink at you blank faced at the mention of it, totally clueless. So what is this mysterious function? To blurr the feet while dancing! Its a simple but sneaky visual effect. Thats right my friends... its not just give the appearance of overly hairy & adorable legs:P. Fluffies are adored by dancers & regular party patrons alike for their "cute" look and versatile, seemingly endless options. So lets talk about their contender,

BOOTS.
GoGo "stacks" or boots have basically become what some would call the "industry standard" because they look more "professional"... but honestly I dont have too much to say on this because personally, and to be blunt, no sugar or fluff added, I find it a little snobby. Dont get me wrong, I OWN THREE PAIRS. I love my boots; they give you incredible balance, comfortability, and height to DIE for. And I understand that because of their intimidating and impressive appearance, they help to set "professional" dancers apart from those who do not intend on being quite so professional at these events, but still. Even now you will see over-achieving fashionistas who really are just regular attendees donning the same footwear so now there is almost no distinction besides whether or not you have an event badge(and how you choose to behave:P).

I guess what I'm trying to say here is I think you should wear what will suit you best; what is going to express your concept the best, and what is going to make you feel the best, because confidence and attitude are everything. The industry "standard" shouldnt be a particular item in your wardrobe, it should be about your overall PRESENTATION. If you carry yourself professionally, that alone will set you apart from the rest. And if you dont know what I mean by that, then you probably dont even need be bothered with it anyway:)

xo!

Hair changes... again!

So I am practically chewing my fingers off with excitement over waiting for a certain package to arrive in the mail... I'm getting new hair extensions :D *HAPPY DANCE* yesssss this entry is so shallow but I dont care, I have been dying to get new extensions for ages (I hate hate hate having short hair!!) and I am going to be trying out body wave extensions for the first time ever (^~^)!!!

I should be receiving the package today, I'm thinking about giving a review with all the juicy details but I havent decided if I'll do a regular blog or vlog post... we will see! My hair color is also changing as well... no more silver! I'm going to dye it back to a mixed blonde, close to my natural color... there will probably be pictures over the weekend so stay tuned ;) ♡ !!

Fuck Yeah .. FRIDAY!

Heres to the weekend my freaky little darlings! I hope everyone has something fabulous planned... Since LOUDPVCK is next weekend I will be enjoying a looooooong weekend of games and drinking before I start prepping for the event:P CHEERS!

*SCREECH* - HOLD ON!

So here I am, enjoying my bright and early morning, cup of hot coffee in hand, my newest recorded episode of Ghost Mine playing on the t.v. to get me caught up, while surfing the web to read other's opinions of one of my obvious favorite t.v. shows, Heroes of Cosplay, when I stumbled upon this article by Comics Alliance. As I read, for the most part, I was genuinely enjoying the varying perspectives and little tidbits of info regarding the Heroes of Cosplay celebrity figures (particulary focused on Yaya Han), when I came to a screeching halt in the middle of a rather negative critique yet AGAIN about Jessica Nigri. While I was annoyed with Comic Alliance's senior editor, Andy Khouri, and his dismissive view on Jessica's cosplay apparel, basically calling it cheap lingerie (I'm thinking... firstly, she's hot as hell, why wouldnt you want to see her dressed like this, and secondly, shes portraying CHARACTERS, if you want to criticize the way she looks then why not give your opinion to the creators of the characters she portrays lol... really, where is your sense of fun?), but the thing that REALLY caught my attention and sent me into this tirade was A.K.'s statement about her costumes in comparison to the EDM scene; "Jessica Nigri seems to appear mainly in costumes that are virtually identical to those you see at electronic music festivals here in downtown Los Angeles; basically store-bought bikinis or exotic dancer gear the attendees wear because they sweat so much while on ecstasy" .... lets highlight this; "the attendees wear BECAUSE they sweat so much while on ecstasy". Okay so we have highlighted the object of my irritation, so now its time to discuss this. I find it so ignorant and nonchalant of people to assume that EVERYONE in the EDM scene is on drugs, especially when basing this assumption on the attire. Yes, the EDM scene is FAMOUS for its eccentricity, but that doesnt mean its BECAUSE EVERYONE is all twacked out on some substance. The electronic dance culture basically is one big costume party. This is for a few obvious reasons, the first which should be so blatantly obvious... its fuckin' FUN. If you want to attend a concert in your jeans then be my guest, but if I have the opportunity to be as decadent as a christmas tree or Princess Peach from Mario then you better believe I am going to do it. Secondly, have you ever actually attended one of these events? Not for the purpose of being a stand alone snob, but to actually have fun? These events get HOT. Whether you are on stage underneath all those lights or balls to the wall packed tighter than sardines in a can within the crowd, you are going to sweat your skin off. Wearing these "skimpy" outfits actually serves a purpose other than being flamboyant or "sexy", it helps keep the body cool. No one wants loads of material being glued to their skin with their own sweat. Yes, my scathing retort is because I AM one of these people at these events scantily clad, and no it is NOT because I am so tweaked out that I cant remember my first name. As a stage performer, you really appreciate the times when you can wear these bathing suit style outfits because you are in for a long night of exercise (as I'm sure any regular patron would agree!). So keep your nose in the air, Mr. A.K., but you might think twice about making these derogatory statements unless you are going to make it more general (and accurate!). "Drugs are bad, mmmkay?" but they can be found in any music culture, and you making that statement as though it were FACT about the ENTIRE EDM Community, as opposed to uneducated/unexperienced perspective, was a bit ridiculous. /End Rant!
