OMGLITZY: Texas Renaissance Festival

Friday, October 26, 2012

Texas Renaissance Festival

The same weekend of the Zelda Symphony, my family and I drove down to Houston to see my brother, his wife, and go to the Renaissance Festival! The theme was 1001 Dreams where “wizards, elves and fairies enchant the street.” That was one magical weekend to say the least. Between the Zelda concert and the rainy feel of the festival my inner nerd was just ecstatic. And then I topped it off with Fan Days this past weekend! Wow October has been very exciting 🙂
Anyway.. my costume for the Texas Renaissance Festival was fairly simple. I bought the “Lady Robin Hood” outfit and red cape at Spirit Halloween, added brown leggings from Macy’s, boots from Walmart, and a cheap wig from the hair store in the mall. Although this wig was only $30, I was very pleased with its quality. It didn’t look overly fake and it held up even in the rain.  My bag was made by me and the fox tail was purchased at another festival.

It POURED that morning.. the rain let up a little but it was really muddy all day. But I think the cloudy weather added to the magic 🙂

Fantastic looks!

The Parade

A giant swing

Cast in Bronze – really cool music

Stopped raining eventually and found this awesome coliseum-like area..

Turns out its the huge jousting arena!

Feeling a bit like Dracula here lol

One shop had glitter sprinkled everywhere.. It looked really cute with all my muddy shoes

Guess this is where Link and Zelda shop 😛

These cloaks reminded me of the cloaks in Everquest 2

We chased down this guy! He walked by us really fast and I yelled to my mom “THAT WAS FLYNN!!!” so we took off to get a picture!

So cool!
Here is a link to the festival I attended in Waxahachie in spring .. Overall both festivals were about the same.. there might be a few more shops at the Houston one, but most of them sell about the same stuff. People watching is my favorite part! Although, I did buy a few necklaces, a book on magical names (when I need to come up with a new character name on EQ2, lol) and I got a ceramic ocarina with the Tri-force on it! It’d be fun to go to the Celtic Christmas weekend .. I’m sure that’s an enchanting time 🙂

OMGLITZY: Texas Renaissance Festival: All Hallows Eve

Texas Renaissance Festival: All Hallows Eve

This year I attended the Texas Renaissance Festival for the second time! TRF is one of the largest festivals around with numerous vendors, performances, food and people to watch! I went on the weekend with the theme “All Hallows Eve” which was the right before Halloween. So many people came out in costumes of all kind. I decided to dress up as a fairy! I made the jacket and flower crown myself, and my tutu was purchased at a convention. I was most excited to show off my fabulous corset from Corset Story, too. The wig I wore was a Luthien in Warm Light Brown from Arda Wigs. I wore this for my Princess Anna cosplay and decided to leave in the blonde streak just for fun!

I didn’t want to do my makeup in the car since TRF is several hours away. So the first thing I did when I walked in the gates was find a face painting booth! This lady was the absolute sweetest and so talented. She painted my face so quickly and matched the colors to my outfit.
I didn’t want to ever wash my face off after this. It glittered and was just soo pretty!

The next thing I did was watch the jousting event. I missed seeing this last year so I was very excited to sit and watch it. Unfortunately since we went to the first showing of the day there wasn’t a lot of action. They did a few fights but not much. I guess they save the real jousts for the afternoon show when there are more people.

But the crowd was still pretty full for early morning! And it was very cool seeing the knights on their horses.

TRF puts a lot of effort into their architecture and designs. You really feel emerged into a new world .. or old I suppose.

New this year was the “Sword in the Stone.” I tried my best to pull it out but sadly I was not the chosen one. Each weekend someone is worthy enough and gets to keep the actual sword!

I spent most of my money on corn dogs and lemonade, but I did get these cute purple satyr horns. 

I had a great time seeing all the people and experiencing the atmosphere! It would be so fun to work at a Renaissance fair someday. You can see my post from my last trip to TRF here.

    Aww looking at these pictures makes me want to go back to one! Your whole outfit is just amazing and all the colors in that tutu are so pretty together!!

    I plan to save up so I can actually buy things rather than just food. I watched the jousting before but the afternoon heat was so killer.

      I didn't make this tutu and I sadly can't remember the name of the seller I bought it from at the convention. I googled "tutu tutorial" and saw a lot of great ones listed – even some videos – for no sew tutus. I'd love to make one someday, too!

OMGLITZY: Texas Rangers Game 2014

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

Texas Rangers Game 2014

Last week I went to a Texas Rangers baseball game! This was my third visit to a Rangers game but my first time to go with my dad. We are really big baseball fans, and he and I watch it on TV together all the time. I always told him that if I ever won the lottery I would buy season tickets for us.
We pulled up to the stadium and saw this cute noodle outside 😛

Once we got inside, we were given this free garden gnome and cinch bag. The first 15,000 fans received the gnome – it was one of the reasons we picked this night to go! I can’t wait to add him to my fairy garden.
We got there really early so we didn’t have to mess with traffic so the stadium was pretty empty. It was very peaceful actually.

Since we had time to kill, we decided to walk around. This was a view of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in the distance. Doesn’t it look like a spaceship?
We were excited to find the Captain Morgan Club because above it is where Rangers Live broadcasts before the games. Mark McLemore even came to the window and waved at us! He played for the Rangers from 1995-1999.
I also loved this giant piggy bank. Look at his little hat 😛

The best part of a ball game is the food. We had a few hot dogs and this huge pretzel!
Later on we treated ourselves to some dessert. I got a cookies n cream waffle cone and my dad ordered a root beer float.

This was a cool pic from behind home plate.

Our seats were further back behind third base, but we were still able to see and enjoy the game. I was so happy to have witnessed a home run by Robinson Chirinos and the Rangers won 2-1!

I had the best time and loved every minute of the game. Baseball is my absolute favorite sport! The season is over now, but I hope we get to attend more games next year. I’d also like to travel and watch a Chicago Cubs game with my dad some day.

OMGLITZY: Tangled

Thursday, August 9, 2012

Tangled

Some movies and stories just seem to stick out to you more than others. Tangled does that for me. I think it’s a mixture of my love for Mandy Moore, the music, Pascal the chameleon, and the beautiful colors .. I love how sweet the characters are, the sarcastic jokes Flynn makes, and the development of the love story. It’s just overall one of my favorite movies. So this is a Tangled appreciation post!
When I visited Disney World with my dad this year, I was most looking forward to meeting Rapunzel! We scoped out where her spot was and the next day that was our first stop. We waited in line for about 45 minutes, and I’m sure people were wondering why this older, tattooed girl was giddy with excitement to meet Rapunzel. But my dad is cool as ever and took lots of photos! She was so sweet and told me “You must be an artist!” when she saw my tattoos. She said they were beautiful! I told her I did hair.. and I would have a lot of fun doing her hair! We talked about color options and that she could add some purple to hers to match her dress. She said Flynn would probably like that 🙂 Oh man it was so much fun.. I also made an effort to find a Pascal plush for me and my mom. After hunting for him in many stores (he’s hard to find – he is a chameleon after all 😉 ) we finally found him! He guarded our hotel room while we were at the parks!

OMGLITZY: Staying Positive

Thursday, February 18, 2016

Staying Positive

So what’s up! What’s been going on! Well I’ve been trying out some new things recently that haven’t gone exactly as planned. So let’s chat about it!

First up, I applied for a Twitch Partnership. This means I could have a “subscribe” button on my page and make a little bit of money while also being able to give more back to my viewers! This is the second time I applied and once again I was declined. Twitch didn’t tell me exactly what I need to work on, but they did say to apply again in about 2-4 weeks if I feel passionate about it. So I decided instead of accepting this as a defeat (which I admit I kind of did the first time) that I will keep my momentum going and push even harder and try to apply again. I mentioned this on stream a few days ago. Everyone was very supportive and kind!! I think if we can just keep doing what we’re doing maybe the stars will align.
Another thing I applied for was an ArenaNet Partnership. They offer a sponsorship program now for creators and since that’s basically the only game I live and breathe for I figured it’d be a perfect fit for me. Well unfortunately they never replied or accepted me. I applied for this several weeks ago and still haven’t heard back. I suppose I will try again because I feel like I’d be a great match for them. It’s just hard when no one tells you what you are doing wrong! I see others that are about the same size/level as my site and channel with sponsorships. Maybe I’m just not active enough? Well I also won’t let this bring me down. I gotta use the passion I have to propel forward and apply again!
Finally, I applied for a job in real life that’s totally different from what I’m used to. It’s a position I know I would excel at and in a field I’d love to grow in. I won’t go into the details, but long story short all last year I applied for several different jobs (both in and out of the hair industry) and nothing seemed to click. So when this job popped up nearby I was very excited to apply! However, once again I haven’t received a reply. I believe in myself and that I’m totally qualified for all that I’m seeking. So I just need to learn how to be more patient. Things don’t happen overnight and doors don’t magically open for you. Sometimes you gotta prove to the world what you are capable of.
Last year, I let little things bring me down pretty quickly. There were other battles I haven’t mentioned, too. I’m trying my best to keep a positive outlook and change the direction of my feelings after facing a setback. It’s a little unlike me to post or talk about these kind of things because I do try very hard to have a good attitude on social media. my blog, and now my stream. But you know what? Shit happens sometimes! Thank you Forest Gump for teaching me that. It’s how you react to it that defines you. So I’m staying upbeat and looking forward to whatever comes my way.
Xoxo,
Glitzy

    Yes stay positive! As a contract artist I live the constant ups and downs of work. Sometimes I have tons of emails out with contact and sometimes I hear something and then other times I hear nothing. Then I have no work and then I have more than I can handle. In the end it is a matter of patience and staying on top of it all much like you are saying. Having been in the game industry for many years I can say that if you are reaching out to any studio or company involved with gaming it can often come in waves so sometimes they respond quickly and other times they are very busy and don't have time. Right now everyone is getting ready for GDC and the trade show season will eats a lot of time. Stay positive and I'm sure something will come along!

    Hard to say what to do without being in your shoes. There's lots of opportunity though I see from this side of the spectrum. Apply apply apply, It kills me whenever I can't seem to find work. I will apply at 20 different places and no luck. Yet I have to say I found a job and been working here so far for 4 weeks and loving it. It took 3 months to find what I was looking for and just being positive. My boss said.. Out of the 54 people he interviewed. He hired people with positive outlook. An that made me quite happy to be the few that he did hire. Saying this from my experience I have also people tell me they applied at well over 30 to 40+ jobs and never hear back as they even have college degrees higher than mine. I think trying and making an effort to change your state of being is better than nothing and I think you should realize that potential in you to do something remarkable is still there. An with time and patience you will unlock that as well as find what your looking for. I know its rough and hang in there, it can't rain forever.. Even though Im a rainy kind of person myself 😉 Stay gold friend. I hope this helps calm your worrying mind.

    Right there with you. Seeing such great opportunities come up and things not click the way you want makes it hard to keep pressing forward with the things you enjoy doing. Never quit on yourself. Always remember the things you are passionate about and keep working towards that goal. Like you said, its all about patience. Things eventually work themselves out if you stay positive, and remember the struggle because when things do click, it will all feel that much more with the wait.

    You seem to be a pretty consistent streamer so I'm surprised about Twitch, I hope you get approved next time as I can bet you'd have some adorable emotes!!

OMGLITZY: Star Wars LegoLand Exhibit

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Star Wars LegoLand Exhibit

I was so honored to be invited to join the local 501st for the new Star Wars MiniLand exhibit at the LegoLand in Grapevine, Tx! I am not a full member of the 501st yet, but was super excited to troop with them at this grand opening. The exhibit itself was pretty cool! I had never been to LegoLand before, and the whole place was awesome!!
(Be sure to click on each photo to view it bigger)
I wore my Asajj Ventress costume!

Those guys up top were made out of Legos! Everything was! And they even lit up!

Most of the exhibit had buttons you could push to activate scenes from Star Wars.

This was amazing .. it was a picture made out of (yep, you guessed it) LEGOs!!

These were some of the members of the 501st here in Dallas. It was fun greeting kids and have photos taken with them.

Asajj has a “glitzy” side, too.. and wanted to be a pretty princess when no one was looking … hahaha

This thing was so cool .. You spin it around and it played music!

They had a whole Dallas exhibit, too. I was just in awe of it all.

Cowboys Stadium

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
And that’s Dirk Nowitzki made out of Legos!

More members of the 501st. How awesome is that wookie? That’s Tarfful! 

This is probably my favorite photo.. it looks straight out of a movie 🙂

Members of the Rebel Legion were there, too. It was so much fun talking Star Wars with everyone!
I am very thankful I was able to attend this event and make new friends! Hopefully I can become a full time member of the 501st if my Asajj gets accepted. They do all sorts of charity events and other kinds activities. Definitely check them out!

    That's cool to see you there with so many other awesome costumes! Seeing all of you guys dressed for Star Wars with Star Wars backgrounds really makes you look like part of the Star Wars universe. (Three Star Wars in one sentence! Yikes!)

    I've never been to a Legoland.
    Obi Wan Kenobi is probably my favorite Star Wars character. Darth Maul was my favorite Star Wars villain. It was a big mistake to kill him off so quickly, even if they tried to undo their mistake much much later to try to cash in on his popularity.

    NICE!! It's been on my agenda to join the 501st for years, but money has been too tight for me to throw down $600+ on the armor I want. Hopefully soon though. We did a lot of colab with them in my Star Trek cosplay group. Dallas has a wonderful 501st chapter. Also, TOTALLY JEALOUS! LEGO Land looks like so much fun!! Is this at the one in Grapevine?

OMGLITZY: Sports Weekend!

Thursday, September 20, 2012

Sports Weekend!

This past weekend I had a sporty time with my Dad by attending a baseball AND soccer game! First up was the Frisco Rough Riders. They are just one level below the Texas Rangers so the turn out is usually pretty good for these guys. I’ve wanted to go to a game all season and with it coming to an end soon we needed to act fast. Unfortunately it turned out to be a rather rainy and cold evening, although I may have enjoyed that more than sweating profusely and getting sunburned. I think we left around the 5th inning because the rain wouldn’t let up but we listened to the game on the radio at home. We won 5-1!

I just love ordering nachos! They are my favorite sport food. These were pretty good but the ones at the soccer game were better. 

That is Mike Napoli batting for the Rough Riders. He is the catcher for the Texas Rangers and was out for an injury for a few weeks.

This is Deuce and Daisy being funny with a (fake) dumbbell.. Deuce had a hard time picking it up and of course Daisy just throws it over her shoulder. So cute!
~
So the next night we went to watch a soccer game! The weather was a lot better this time. The FC Dallas Stadium is one of my absolute favorite sport arenas. It’s really clean and the layout is very accommodating. I haven’t always been a soccer fan, but when an MLS team plays just down the street from you you can’t help but feel the spirit! Not to mention the cutest player, Brek Shea, is on their team!

Half time was fun because they had these two cute dogs bouncing soccer balls off their noses to try and score goals! The actual soccer game itself was still 0-0 so half time was almost more entertaining 😛

Then in the 96 minute (they were given 6 extra minutes) FC Dallas player Julian de Guzman hit an amazing goal and we won the game 1-0!!!! It was an epic finale!

OMGLITZY: Spooky Halloween Music

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Spooky Halloween Music

This is the song found in the Beautiful Creatures trailer I posted yesterday. I’m pretty sure if I could be music I would be every song by Florence + the Machine. This song is called Seven Devils.
And if I could be a Halloween song and video this would be it! Kyary Paymu Paymu is so stinkin’ cute.. This video made me really excited for the spooky holiday.
Thanks to San Smith for posting it!
Although this isn’t a music video.. It’s a really funny parody of the Vampire Diaries done by The Hillywood Show. I love the song by Lady Gaga cleverly called “Teeth” .. 
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE VD PREMIERE TONIGHT!!!

Sponsoring GlitzyGeekGirl

 I have decided to get back with Passionfruit since they had a discount on their memberships. I was with them for awhile when they were free, and was kinda upset that they started charging for their use. It mainly bothered me because my ad prices really don’t even cover the cost of having one of their memberships. But I’m hoping to do a better job about posting sponsors so I decided to try it!
For me, having my ad on other blog sites has really brought in a lot of traffic! Now that GlitzyGeekGirl has grown, I want to offer that same chance for other bloggers, artists, or store owners. Ads are shown to the right of my blog on my sidebar and come in different sizes and prices. Like I said earlier, I really don’t make a profit off these ads.. They are here to help you grow your business or blog and the money goes right back into running this website.
So please visit my Sponsor page and take a look at some of the options available. Since I kinda missed offering a Cyber Monday sale .. here’s a code to save $1 off a medium sized ad – GLITZYONE

OMGLITZY: SOE Live Video Contest

Sunday, April 21, 2013

SOE Live Video Contest

My favorite game EverQuest II is part of Sony Online Entertainment, and this year for the SOE Live Convention they held a video contest to win a trip to Las Vegas! It includes a ticket to the convention, round trip airfare, and hotel accommodations! I noticed not many had entered so I figured I would give it a try. I made this silly video about “raiding SOE Live” .. In the game EQ2 a group of players will “raid” a hard dungeon to win extra cool items. So I based my video on that! These are my tips for Preparing to Raid SOE Live – Watch the video here!

I am wearing my armor that I made for my Fiona cosplay and a costume dress that I wore last year to the Texas Renaissance Festival. I picked up the axe over the weekend at the Scarborough Faire along with the flower crown.

These are jars from Hobby Lobby filled with Gatorade. I printed labels off my computer and just glued it to the jars. They’re health and power potions!

This is my appointment book I use to schedule all my clients for my salon. (lol) I googled “leather” and added the words in Photoshop and just taped it to the front of my book then tied some string around it. Easy!
:+:+:+:+:+:+:
They should announce the winner in a few days. I really hope I get picked! A lot of my friends from my guild that I raid with will be going this year, and I would love to meet them. Plus it’d just be SO cool to win!!!!
So what did ya think of my video?
Have you ever been to Las Vegas?
Which hotel is your favorite?

      You know I don't drink or gamble either, but Las Vegas is still very exciting to me! I am sure it's crazy fun if you DO drink or gamble, lol .. But I enjoy the big buildings, the flashing lights, and all the entertainment! If I win I will give you a review :p

    That's pretty awesome! I love the big pile of gold coins. Good to see you're creatively reusing some of your costumes. 🙂

    I hope you win a trip to Las Vegas! That'd be so incredible! So many fun things to see and do there even without SOE Live going on.

    Very cool! I hope they pick you. I've never been to Vegas. I've never had a real desire to go, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing it and having a new adventure.

      You should definitely visit Vegas at least once! It's so different than anywhere else I've been. Lots of energy and excitement. You can have fun just people-watching lol!

    Definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you! Been to Vegas twice, once I was under-aged and the second time I was under-funded (didn't have any money) but it's still fun! Lots of shows to see. Will keep an eye here to see how you do.

    I would have loved to go, but work and family is keeping me from it this year.

    I am excited about the EQ Next announcements.
