Top 5 Picks For January 9th

Happy Friday little bots.  I couldn't think of anything to write about today, my mind has been a little frazzled over the past couple of weeks dealing with my horses and having to put them down.  So I just want to do something quick and light for this weeks Friday post.  So why not do a top 5 things I'm obsessed with for this week.

Jem and the Holograms Comic:
I grew up on Jem.  My sister had all the dolls, the sound track, and taped all the episodes.  Naturally I found myself loving it as well.  When I heard that there is going to be a new comic about Jem threw my monthly previews catalog from my comic shop I filliped out.  I'm going in this weekend to add it to my stack of comic that I pick up each week. 

Check out IDW for more info.

CES 2015
It's that time of year where technology meet convention and shows us where we all are going to throw our hard earned money at this year.  Consumer Electronic Show was this past week in Las Vegas and as usual it did not disappoint.   What I was most excited about was the 3D printing pen.  To me I can see a lot of uses for this device in costuming and making random stuff for gifts.  You can read more about the pen at 3D Former  and more info and product from CES click here


DC New Power Girl Design To Appear The New Teen Titians
I really dig the new look they are putting on Tanya Spears.  Her new look will debut in the upcoming Teen Titans coming this February.

Man Vs Pin
On the ThreadBanger channel they have a segment called Man vs. Pin where this guy takes pinterest pins and tries to replicate the pin.  This series has been going on since last year but I just recently discovered it so it is new to me.  Check out the posted YouTube video and to see more head over to ThreadBanger's YouTube page.

Real Life Peter Griffin
Just watch the video and be amazed.

So that's it, I'll see you all on Monday.

See you on the other side

Future Cosplay For 2015

The heat is almost gone from my apartment and that means my brain function is going to start working normally again!   Sorry for the lack of updates, last week was full of shopping and helping my mom out at the house.  Needless to say I'm on the prowl for more work/part time job.  the part time job would feed my new addiction of cosplay making and convention impulse buying.   I don't have any plans on attending anymore conventions this year, but  that also means that I need to shape up my body for my next planed costumes.  

  What costumes you may ask, well for ECCC next year I'm planing on doing another DC Bombshell from one of my favorite artist Ant Lucia: Supper Girl!

I just love this outfit, those boots!  I'm dying. 

The one I have planed is for RTX 2015.  It's Fem Sun from RWBY.

By Verdantos Grenice

Sun is one of my favorites from this series, and he has shotgun nunchucks!

Got to start working on my abs.

  Other than that, my man and I have been losing sleep over his works new changes in security towards vendors and what it means to his team.  What may end up happening is after working 18 months you are forced to take a 6 month break!  That would ruin his team and a majority of people who would be forced to take a break would find employment else where.  Everyone is scrambling for a solution and now it is a wait and see what happens.  Worst case scenario he finds another job in 18 months.

Changing the the subject to a more happier tune, Have you been watching the new Sailor Moon Crystal series?!  All the feels of childhood is rushing back to me when I watch it.  If you haven't seen it, what is wrong with you, go get your butt to Hulu and watch it!  To hold you over here is the full opening credits song by Momoiro Clover Z.

Although I prefer the opening song of Attack on Titian for the opening credits....

Have a good week little bots, see you Friday for something...

Party Wednesday: Injustice Gods Among Us

            I am more partial towards Marvel than DC, but I still find it cool that they turned the DC universe into a fighting arena.  While still giving a nod to Mortal Kombat fighting genre Injustice pushes the boundaries of the traditional fighting games.  This week we will gather our friends and challenge each other to a battle to the death with our favorite DC heroes.

Décor

             There are many arenas in Injustice and in each are different sectors of that arena. I’m going to focus on the Watchtower since that is were a majority of the characters gather (you know the Justice League). 

This is going to be a tough one, I’m not going to lie, unless you or a friend owns a large warehouse or space station having a great imagination is a plus.  So as you can see in the picture above they are on a space station over looking Earth.  Ideally you will want to dedicate on side of the room to be “window” to over look earth and the stars.  You can do this one of two ways; the first is to have a projector and play a DVD of space.  Second method is to buy a laser star projector and get a large Earth wall decal.

Use metal tables that don’t show the leg like these beautiful side tables from Croft House:

Or you can buy metallic cloth and drape it over you table, be sure it hits the floor

The last item to add is the giant floating earth.  You can place is on its own table or at one of the selected food/drink tables.  I find the floating globes to be too small to get the right impact of you surveying the world.  You are more than welcome to buy one of these expensive items, or you can buy a giant inflatable globe (with base) and paint the continents a gold color.
