Happy Halloween!

-by | Filed under Costuming,General Fandom,Real Life,Web Sites

Blue Blood’s Amelia G wrote an article about how October is the freaky person’s December. I usually relate to everything she writes, but I do still enjoy Halloween and I don’t let the stress get to me too much. I think Amelia’s observations are dead accurate. They just don’t apply to me in this instance. [...]

What is Devil’s Night?

What is Devil’s Night?

-by | Filed under Costuming,Real Life

The encyclopedia is not generally particularly regionally myopic, but I do not believe Devil’s Night is a primarily Detroit-based phenomenon. That said, this is still a fairly informative explanation. Devil’s Night is one name associated with October 30, the night before Halloween, particularly in the metropolitan Detroit, Michigan, area, though it is also “celebrated” in [...]

Thomas S. Roche Interviews Amelia G on Eros Zine!

-by | Filed under Books,Costuming,General Fandom,Real Life,Web Sites

Two of my favorite talents in the universe make the lead story for Halloween week on Eros Zine. The brilliant Thomas S. Roche introduces and interviews the brilliant Amelia G and the result is both poetic and laugh-out-loud funny. Reading it made me feel both melancholy and happy. Blue Blood Kellie from yesterday’s post makes [...]

Blue Blood Boutique Adds T-shirts and Baby Tees

-by | Filed under Costuming,General Fandom,Real Life,Web Sites

The new Blue Blood Boutique is putting together a seriously cool clothing line. They just added both classic T-shirts and baby tees. I do believe that is Andy LaPlegua of Combichrist, Icon of Coil, and Panzer AG modeling for the Boutique and feeding some sort of beverage to Blue Blood hottie Kellie. Get your minds [...]

Narnia!

-by | Filed under Books,Costuming,Gadgets,General Fandom,Movies

For some reason, Moviefone has the very best Narnia trailer online now. It looks like they managed not to make the talking animals look too stupid. I wanted to go to Narnia so very very badly when I was a child.

Fast Food Burgers Pulped Globally

Fast Food Burgers Pulped Globally

-by | Filed under Movies,Real Life

The McDonald’s gender bender advertisements reminded me of the best discourse on fast food burgers ever captured on film. I am, of course, speaking of Quentin Tarantino’s Opus Pulp Fiction. Vincent: And you know what they call a… a… a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? Jules: They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with [...]

Fishnet actually has its own Wikipedia entry. Fishnet is a style of mesh clothing popular with the traditional gothic look. Don’t know what I would do without that nugget of information. (via Wikipedia)

I have clearly been out of it. Boing Boing knew about the Blue Blood Boutique before I did. Boing Boing reports, “Blue Blood, the old-school goth/alternative/punk pinup zine, has launched a cool clothing line with these big, skull-emblazoned hoodies.” Boing Boing also has the inside skinny on crocheted Yoda ears. My dog is lucky she [...]

According to the Media Guardian, a Japanese commercial artist, who answers to the name Kazoo, came up with the idea of translating the Ronald McDonald costume to a ladies party dress.

Milla or McMilla with a Side of Fries

-by | Filed under Costuming,Movies,Real Life,Web Sites

Low Culture points out that the McDonalds advertising people must be Luc Besson fans. The Fifth Element was a beautiful movie. Now is that Milla or McMilla? Readers of Low Culture claim that Micky D’s Japan is no longer running the flame-tressed beauty in their ads and debate whether the concept was really SF-inspired and [...]
