Wonderwoman

Finally, a real people outfit on my blog again and not some crazy ass dress-up thing! This is the shirt I bought at the nerd convention. Obviously I have been wearing and will be wearing this baby all the time. Being a geek and a feminist at the same time while being a little witty? Sounds good, sister. I also think that this might be the first almost all black outfit I ever posted on my blog. Now that my hair is blonde (and it won't be for much longer, I'm really lusting after some bright hair again) I feel like I can wear darker colors more easily without feeling boring. These liquid leggings are pure heaven too. After wearing leggings as pants I can hardly go back to wearing actual pants. I know people have a lot of beef with leggings as pants but for realz, leggings are the perfect way to show off your butt without flattening it because of tight, thick fabric. Instead of squeezing your ass, leggings hug your ass! If that's not some freakin' fashion poetry I don't know what is. :-D A little tip: if you're on a manhunt, do wear liquid leggings. Boys and tight pants are a good combo. And if you feel  a little cold, overexposed or if your leggings are a little on the flimsy side: wear some thick black cotton leggings underneath. The jacket was a thrifting treasure which, if I recall correctly, didn't cost more than 10 euro. It's super cosy and warm and I've been wearing it non stop since it became colder. Plus I can't resist the rock 'n roll vibe.

My life has been pretty sweet. Good feedback on my photography from my teacher, smooth sailing in school and I might have met a nice fella. I'll keep you posted. ;-)

I'm pointing at the drawing on my shirt, not my boobs. Just to be clear.

This is Halloween: party 2012

While I was a total boring mofo staying home on the exciting night of halloween (which isn't all that exciting here in Belgium, halloween hardly exists over here) I did have a chance to get my halloween on at a cosy party at my sis' place last weekend! Good food, carving some badass pumkins, good company, a terrible horror movie and tasty booze, 't was all good! Though I had a really stubborn pumpkin and no talent for carving whatsoever. And I'm not going to recommend "The Woman in Black", the movie we watched. Maybe it was really bad because we were talking throughout the whole movie, maybe we were talking throughout the whole movie because it was bad. Either way, I was disappointed. It looked gorgeous, there was definitely some potential there but it didn't deliver. I was pleasantly surprised by Daniel Radcliffe though. Not so much by his acting performance as by his looks kicking it up a notch or two. I never thought of him as an attractive guy in the Harry Potter movies (total Ron fangirl over here) but I've grown to appreciate him. Seeing him say all kinds of sensible things about same sex marriage is a big YES too. Sensible dudes, I like 'em.

Anyhoo, I dressed up as Marceline the vampire queen from Adventure Time! One of the sweetest cartoons out there and Marceline just kicks ass like no other vampire does.

Creepy ass picture and proof that I was actually Marceline and not just a random vampire. CHECK THE CARDI.

Chillin' with Black Swan (my sis, obvi) and Cruella De Vil. As a vampire queen I needed the umbrella, otherwise this shit happens.

And I wouldn't be a good blogger if I didn't think of the details.

THAT'S RIGHT, CREEPY NAILS.

Pretty cool vampire-y pictures, no? :-D It was never actually my intention to be creepy but the fake blood (pardon, shade of red! Marceline don't drink no blood!), the deathly complexion, fangs and wig really did a good job with getting some halloween vibes going. I'm also so incredibly white-ass myself I barely needed any white make up to make me look this pale. Maybe I should just make being a vampire part of my future career.

Some mood shots:

Spooky food! Those halloween pastries were tasty as hell!

Black Swan slaughtering her pumpkin.

Beautiful pirate Brenda torturing her pumpkin.

Vampire sister Sabina! Not only were we equally VAMPALICIOUS (yes I totally just said that) we both had the nastiest pumpkins of the bunch. Proof:

That's not right, man. I can tell you that.

Some of the carved pumpkins and lovely decoration! Mine is the snaggletoothed goblin in the middle, third from the right. Not my best creative work. The big ass pumpkin on the left is my sister's, pretty awesome right? And of course Jack Skellington on the right, carved by Eline aka Cruella. She could have a future in the pumpkin carving industry.

Black Swan, another beautiful pirate and Catwoman!

Worm sammich! It was actually just sliced hotdog with ketchup. Tasty and nasty looking! My sis also made a very tasty pumpkin soup from all the carvings. I ate it all, the day after the party. :-D After dinner the brave ones among us took a walk down to the cemetery to take some moody outfit shots for Sabina's blog.

Awesomely creepy picture.

Obviously I had to come to the cemetery. It's one of my favorite hangouts.

Being creepy!

I hope you liked my little report on our party and that you had a good halloween yourself! And because halloween will always make me think of The Nightmare Before Christmas, a movie I watched at least a million times when I was a kid, I'm going to leave you with "This is Halloween". HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEN!

Who run da world? NERDS pt. 2

Since you lovelies were so enthousiastic about my last post I couldn't keep you waiting too long for some more pictures! Embrace yourselves, there's a lot more awesomeness coming up!

Some of my brothers and sisters from other misters:

How cool is this?! I HAVE A GANG OF LINKS, Y'ALL. Though let's agree on one point: I'm definitely the sexiest. :-D The dude in front of me had a seriously kickass bow, though. And I appreciate a man in leggings.

YAY female Link!

Check out that Hylian Shield. MHM, that's pretty nice. Since I didn't have a mastersword I totally stole his. No I just asked him if I could take a picture with it. A smartypants in the background murmurred "OOOH she wants to play with your MASTERSWORD." so that explains the sexy face I have on here. :-D

And before it was too late I had to do a "DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNN" with the sword.

ZELDA FANS, UNITE. He wanted a picture with me because of the cosplay, I wanted a picture with him because of the awesomeness of that shirt. I want it.

One of my favorite anime characters of all time, Kenshin Himura! It was truly an honor, I watched Rurouni Kenshin when I was younger, every sunday morning. I was crazy about it, together with my sister. I was kind of hoping to come across a sexy Sanosuke too but this did just fine!

Cute picture of me and my friend.

Oooh SNAP another Ash! No steampunk this time but still awesome. I really want a hat like that. You know, so that when things get hardcore I can flip my hat.

Some Half-life peeps who looked pretty hardcore in their cosplays. I asked if I could take a picture with them and the dude in the helmet replied "With Link? ALWAYS." and then showed me his upper arm containing this piece of art:

I probably don't have to tell you that I had a hard time with trying not to jump him screaming that I wanted to bear his children. It took a lot out of me but I managed to keep it together. Barely.

This has to be one of my favorite pictures in the bunch. NINTENDO PARTY OVAH HIYAH. I would've died if I had come back from the convention without a picture of Link with the Mario Brothers. While Link might be my one true love, the Mario Brothers are a steady second. My dad was crazy about Mario and loved to do really bad impressions of him.

Mononoke Hime in the hizzazz! I only saw a couple of Ghibli cosplays. There was one Arrietty, one Noface from Spirited Away and one San, pictured here. I was hoping to see a Howl or something (you know, A HOT HOWL) but alas, no cigar.

The moment I saw the back of his costume I thought "HOLY SHIT THAT'S FRANK". I love love love Donnie Darko and the movement in the picture and my creeped out expression really adds to the atmosphere of the picture.

MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS. Oh yeah. I have their themesong on my Ipod.

Link getting his sexy on with the white power ranger.

Adventure Time! Me and my sis are crazy about adventure time so once I spotted this Finn the human cosplayer I was like "NEED PICTUREZ NAO". He even played his ukelele for us! Too bad Jake wasn't there with him. I swear, one day, I will cosplay as the lumpy space princess.

A cute joker kid with a free hugs sign. As I mentioned in the last post, I can't resist a free hugs sign. My facial expression says "Daaaaw this joker is such a cutie pie!" which might not have been the reaction he was going for. But he was pretty adorable.

I wasn't really familiar with his character but my friends were. He was Gray from Fairy Tail, a pretty popular manga/anime. I just thought "MMM gotta get me some of that nerd man", as you can see in my not so subtle facial expression. My hormones were going crazy. Even if you're not a geek, just go to these conventions to check out some hot dudes. It's WELL WORTH it. :-D

This was a really cute kid who wanted to take a picture with me. Great cosplay and I totally dig the color of the wig.(sniffles)

I didn't buy much, just this Totoro plushie, two Shin Chan keychain thingies and a shirt with Wonder Woman saying "Girls will save the world!". Because, after all, I'm still a feminist, bitchez. The shirt will definitely be featured in a future outfit post!

I hope you liked my pictures and stories! I had a GREAT time and will definitely go again next year. I met really cool people and had a blast with my friends! And I encourage you, my lovelies, to get your nerd on.
