SO I HEARD YOU LIKE MERIDA.

This was such a fun costume. Within the hour we where in line for registration I already had a dozen pictures taken with some folks in line. This one cute little girl in a purple wig kept running under the divider to take pictures of me and run back to her mom.

On Sunday I got to meet another young girl, maybe 5 or so, who’s father asked for a picture. I knelt down to take a picture with her and she came running over and hugged onto my arm like we where best buds.

Her dad said that Merida was ‘badass’!

If anyone got some pictures of me at Anime Central gimmie a holler.I was with my boyfriend who was cosplaying The Shadow. I’ll post a few more pictures up of just some time we spent that weekend.

You can also find me on Coscom.

WOW! I love love love this!

I NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR A SUMMER READING LIST!

technicolor-cupcakes:

Give me books to read please!

I have recently required a library card and have learned the wondrous perks of the library. But I don’t know where to start!

Please give me any and all suggestion for books you have read, I don’t care if you loved it or hated it.

A couple of ideas:

The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, by Catherynne M. Valente

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, by Mindy Kaling

The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, by Laurie R. King (esp. if you like Sherlock or Elementary!)

Falling Together, by Marisa de los Santos

When It Happens to You, by Molly Ringwald

If the only way you know how to write strong female characters is to give them a gun and have them be rude then you’re definitely misogynistic xoxo

le-jolie:

“My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was. I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy.

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of” - My Medical Choice by Angelina Jolie, New York Times (14 May, 2013)
