Thrift Store Cosplay Day 18

Day 18: Van Pelt from Jumanji JUMANJI! Who else desperately wanted to find the Jumanji game and open up their own jungle Pandora’s box as a kid? No? Just me then? This is one of those timeless Robin Williams movies that I used to LOVE watching and now find it quite difficult to watch, only…

On the Subject of…

High School. Recently I have been binge watching the, sadly, short-lived Carrie Diaries (only 2 seasons…sad face.) And like all the teen dramas I’ve enjoyed in my life (Dawson’s Creek, The OC, One Tree Hill, etc) watching it makes me feel like maybe I missed something. I never had a first kiss in high school…

Lizzie’s Solo Ride

I LOVE Disney. If you’ve been reading me for any length of time, you know this. That being said, I’ve never done Disney on my own before. I’ve always gone with friends or family. And the day is usually very mapped out. Everyone has their top picks and there is lots to cover in a…

Modern Princess Instagram Challenge

April is here! Spring has sprung. And when I open my window, woodland creatures come in and help me dress every morning! Life is a fairytale, dreams are rainbows and rainbows are real. Soon I’ll break into song and dance! Cause…Hey! It’s Friday. And what were Fridays made for, if not song and dance and…

Quality over Quantity

Think back to when you were in the 2nd grade. How many friends did you have? If you’re a social butterfly like me, then you had lots of friends. I knew practically everyone in the 2nd grade at my little, country elementary school and they all knew me. I was the one who was always…

The Only Girl in the World

When I was growing up…there was only one girl in the whole world that I wanted to be. I didn’t have a lot of choices. Leading ladies in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s were few and far between to say the least. One girl in Star Wars (Princess Leia.) One girl in Superman (Lois Lane.)…

We Have to go Back to the Future

It’s October 21, 2015. How are celebrating Back to the Future Day? A ride in a Delorean? A BTTF movie marathon? A little Marty McFly cosplay? Why not donate to a great cause like the Michael J. Fox Foundation. So many ways to celebrate a movie we love so much on a day futuristic day…

Dear JJ…

Dear JJ Abrams, Dude! It must be the hardest of jobs. And the pressure is truly on…I’m sure you’ve felt it. We, the fans, are chomping at the bit. If you’ve stepped into social media for more than a nanosecond, you know this! And now that the last trailer (and most epic of trailers ever…
