OMGLITZY: The Hunger Games: Meeting Peeta

The Hunger Games: Meeting Peeta
I have a story I need to tell. It’s one I’ve brought up to a few friends before. But I am hoping by typing out my feelings I may finally be able to overcome this grief.
Sounds really dramatic, huh? Well any serious fangirl would understand that when you have the chance of a lifetime – and miss out on it – you’re gonna have to figure out how to move on.
So this is my “Meeting Peeta” post that has been on my mind for years now.
It all started in 2012 when I read The Hunger Games trilogy in just three days. I was instantly a huge fan and took the books with me every where. I couldn’t put them down! Next thing I knew I was buying shirts, posters, pins, magazines and all the movie guides. When I discovered that several of the cast members were doing a mall tour to promote the first movie I just about jumped from my seat! One of the huge perks of living in the Dallas, Tx area is that we’re lucky to be on a lot of tour lists. Jacqueline Emerson (Foxface), Isabelle Fuhrman (Clove), and Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark) were to be at the Dallas Galleria. I knew without a doubt I had to go, so I began doing more research on when and where to be. This is how I discovered a blog (I wish I could remember the name of it) that was holding a contest to win a chance for the trio’s autograph. They weren’t doing a signing for the public but a few lucky winners could meet the cast members before their Q&A and have a poster signed. All I had to do was send in a photo showing how big a fan I was.
I grabbed Pixie and my fan gear and had my mom take a few pictures of us. When I sent the above pic in, I captioned that my cat was “Buttercup” hunting mice like in the book. The blog posted the entries and to be honest I didn’t think I had a chance to win. Several others were cosplaying as Katniss and looked incredible! Well I went to work that evening at my salon and didn’t get off until 9pm. I checked my phone and saw I had a missed call at 8pm. The voicemail was from the lady running the contest and she said I WON! I got two tickets to to the private signing! All I had to do was call her back by 9pm. Yep…. 9pm …. I died. I just died. I called right away but when she answered she said she already had to give the tickets to the second place winner and that there was nothing she could do. I started crying and felt ill! I couldn’t believe I won and just missed the opportunity by a few minutes.
The next day was the event so my parents and I got there really early to see if there would somehow be a chance to still meet the cast. We waited by the ice rink (where they were having the Q&A) for HOURS. Like six or seven hours. Something insane like that. *Let me just say how awesome my folks are.. I love you guys.*
We never got into the private signing, but since we were there so early we did manage a great viewing spot for the event. The place filled up like crazy! The rink is an oval so there were fans alllllllll the way around and on every level!
Our spot was right by the entrance to the ice rink. So even though the cast would be facing the other way we were still the closest. The best part was they had to walk RIGHT BY us to enter. And you know what? Josh Hutcherson saw me! He motioned up and down his arms and said “I like your tattoos!” AHHH!! He talked to me! Well at this point the whole place was a deafening scream and I was pumping so much adrenaline I couldn’t think straight. So I replied with what any fangirl would – “I LOVE YOU!” .. Yep… That’s all I said. *facepalm* And then he said…. “Thank you.” *double facepalm*
The cool thing is another fan next to me got video of them coming in. And you can see Josh talking to me at 0:32.
The memory of Josh Hutcherson making eye contact with me when there were literally thousands of screaming fans does help make up for my loss at getting his autograph. I hope that one day he and the cast will come to conventions, and maybe I can tell him a (shorter version) of my story and add his signature to my collection.
It feels good to get that off my chest. The moral of the story is if you enter a contest CHECK YOUR PHONE! Or give them a number of a family member that isn’t at work .. lol.
:+:+:+:+:
I’m super excited to see Mockingjay Part 1!! Will you be seeing it in theaters?

OMG, I would have cried too! I can't believe they only allowed an hour to call back. I mean, people have jobs! But yay for eye contact and tattoo compliments!
-
I totally would've cried too!! I also think I would've responded in the exact same way 😀
I feel like such a dork because I could've run into Josh Hutcherson while they filmed the movie in Atlanta – one of the sets was literally outside my co-worker's window and I missed out! 🙁
I just saw Mockingjay Part 1 last night and it was wonderful!! I hope you get to meet them!! -
Awww! I would've cried too! I hope you get another chance!
(But seriously! People work! I'm upset for you they didn't give much time to reply). -
Oh no!!! I would have cried too. Hopefully one of the Dallas cons can get him and/or some of the other Hunger Games cast in the future!

You must always give a bit of careful thought to your business meetings, so that at the meeting room you impress your client and get what you want out of the occasion. Rather than contradicting one another and potentially confusing the client.

OMGLITZY: Tutorial: Furry Ears
Monday, July 28, 2014
Tutorial: Furry Ears
After watching the incredible Commander Holly make a Rocket Raccoon cosplay for SDCC, I was inspired to make some raccoon ears myself! I figured this would be fun to wear to the premiere of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I looked up pictures of raccoon ears for reference, but you could use this tutorial to make cat, bear, fox, or any furry ears!
What you’ll need:
A headband, wire, wire cutter, craft foam, fake fur, scissors, hot glue, Sharpies
1) Cut your wire to make two ear shapes on your headband. Then sandwich some craft foam around the wire to hide it.
2) Cut your fake fur a little bigger than the foam ears and sandwich them the same way.
3) Glue it all the way around with hot glue.
4) Gently color your fur with your choice of Sharpie. I started with black in the middle, silver around that, and then left the edges white. I would have liked to have added brown, but I didn’t have a brown Sharpie with me. 🙂
Keep adding color to it until it suits your fancy! I also colored the back of my ears to look striped like a raccoon. And since there is wire in the ears you can bend them! I cupped mine a little and folded one ear down more than the other.
Now you’re ready to guard the galaxy as one of the most fierce raccoons ever!
:+:+:+:+:
These ears were so easy to make! I would love to make more in different colors. Let me know if you use this tutorial!
What animal ears would you like to wear?
Will you be seeing Guardians of the Galaxy?

OMGLITZY: Valentine’s Day 2014

Valentine’s Day 2014
For Valentine’s Day this year my parent’s surprised me with lots of chocolate goodies!
Also, the day before we went shopping at the mall, and I picked out a few toys. ^.^
I have had my eye on Rapunzel’s Lego Tower since it was released!
I wasn’t expecting to get Cinderella’s Castle, too, but my mom got it for me! It looks beautiful! Also, under Pixie are my new Rapunzel and Ariel towels from the Disney Store.
Later that day I put the Tower together. It was a lot of fun and didn’t take me as long as I thought it would. There are so many pieces in these things!!
Here is look at the inside. It comes with paint brushes, a frying pan and even Pascal!
Surprisingly, I don’t have a lot of Disney decorations on my shelves so I am excited to put this on display. Cinderella’s Castle has more pieces so one of these days when I have time I will put it together, too!
:+:+:+:+:
It was a peaceful and fun Valentine’s Day. I enjoy spending holidays with my family 🙂
What did you do for Valentine’s Day?

Awwww, I love it! Rapunzel is my favorite Disney princess, so I've got hearts in my eyes over this post!
My Valentine's day was pretty laid back. Although, my boyfriend did get me a rifle haha!! Very random gift for a gal who hasn't shot a gun since she was 4!

Very cute Lego Rapunzel set! We've got a Disney store nearby but I haven't been in soooo long, haha. I didn't do much for V Day, the boyfriend and I just lounged around and watched Let's Play videos. So romantic, lol.

Okay, that is adorable. I've on the fence of getting them because I don't like the Lego Friends line but the tower is so cool! I wish they had them as minifigs.
-
I love that your wearing a tiara in this. You are so rad. I have not seen the Rapunzel lego anywhere in Australia. It looks so pretty.
-
Omg tangled lego!!!! Hope this comes to Australia. Frozen lego would be amazing to. Lego should release frozen lego! I need to get that tower if it comes here!
-
-
It looks like you have a lovely Valentines Day!
I love the lego tower 😀 -
That tiara is rad and I would love to get Lego for Valentine's day. Yay Lego!
-
I love the Princess Legos! I do wish there were more brick pieces instead of the "big-easy" pieces, but they are sooo adorable, I can't help but want them!
Glad you had a fun Valentines!

OMGLITZY: 2013 In Review
Wednesday, January 1, 2014
2013 In Review
Holy cow! I did so much in 2013!! One of my favorite things about blogging is the chance to look back through old posts and re-live those experiences. There’s no way I could pick just one to be my favorite.. So here’s a list of some of the things that made my 2013 awesome!
Travel
I never thought I would go to Disney World.. and now I’ve been there twice! Thanks to some flight vouchers, my Dad and I were able to visit Disney World again this past spring and see the newly built FantasyLand 🙂
Other amazing trips I went on:
-Austin (I went to Ikkicon this past weekend!)
Conventions
Last year I got a taste of what convention and cosplay life was like. And this year I really ran with it! My favorite convention of the year was the Dallas Comic Con and A-Kon. They are the biggest local cons, and had a lot of good artists and media guests. The best part is seeing all my friends in their new costumes!
A few of the other conventions I liked:

Cosplay
Cosplay has been a new hobby of mine that I just can’t seem to shake. I’m totally addicted! It makes comic and anime conventions so much more fun. My favorite part of cosplaying is creating the outfit. In just a year, I feel like I’ve grown as an artist. And I definitely owe it to all my cosplaying friends. I feel so inspired by them and really love how encouraging the community is. My favorite costumes from this year were Arwen from The Lord of The Rings and Fiona from Shrek. It was hard to pick, but I remember feeling super happy and excited to put these outfits on.
I wore 10 new costumes this year! Here’s the list:
-Asajj Ventress
-Arwen
-Fiona from Shrek
-Evil Mary Marvel
-Sailor Venus
-Annie from League of Legends
-Black Widow
-Legolas
-Luna Lovegood
-Fionna from Adventure Time
Favorite Books
I’m trying to remember if I read anything besides The Mortal Instruments series, but I don’t think I did. I’m a little sad I didn’t read more.. but at least there were 5 books in this series. I loved them all, and I can’t wait until the next one comes out in 2014.
The TMI series consists of:
-City of Bones
-City of Ashes
-City of Glass
-City of Fallen Angels
-City of Lost Souls
 |
| Theatrical Release Poster: Walt Disney Studios |
Favorite Movies
I don’t get to make it out to the theater for new releases too often, but this year I managed to see a couple! My favorite was definitely Thor: The Dark World. I wrote a review about it, and now I’m considering making a Thor cosplay! The movie was a good mix of action, humor and romance.
Other movies I saw that I loved:
-Wreck It Ralph
-The Avengers
-Warm Bodies
-The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
-Frozen
Note: I know for a fact I am going to LOVE The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, but just haven’t had a chance to go see it yet!
Favorite TV Shows
The Vampire Diaries is still on top of my list of favorite shows. It’s really the only one that I watch live. I will not make plans on Thursday nights because that’s TVD night! I was lucky enough to attend a Vampire Diaries convention this year, too.
Other shows I am hooked on:
-Game of Thrones
-The Big Bang Theory
-Glee
-Sleepy Hollow
Favorite Songs
Growing up I listened to music constantly. All kinds, too! And that definitely hasn’t changed. This year my top played songs were very eclectic. Paramore’s “Still Into You” takes the crown! I love this song and video so much!
My other favorite songs of the year:
-One Direction – Story of My Life
-Demi Lovato – Lightweight
-Lindsey Stirling – Song of the Caged Bird (I saw her live!)
-The Killers – Here With Me (I saw them live this year, too!)
-Katy Perry – Roar
Favorite Games
Animal Crossing: New Leaf wins this category so easily. I never thought I could be addicted to a game other than EQII. I love hanging out with my villagers, buying new outfits, and participating in the holiday events. It’s just the cutest game ever!
Of course I’m still addicted to:
-EverQuest II
-League of Legends
-Pokemon X
Favorite Blogs
Now that my blog has been around for over a year, I have had the pleasure of getting to know other bloggers! Cazz over at Nerd Burger has become a great friend, and I love seeing her posts about new comics, geek fashion, and watching her videos. She even cosplayed for the first time as Carrie Kelly and looked fantastic!! I also became closer to Mia Moore, who lives just down the road in Austin, Tx. We got to meet up a couple times for conventions this year. I love talking cosplay, anime and movies with her!
Other blogs I can’t live without:
Goals for 2014
-Go to San Diego Comic Con. This is like the con of all cons! It’s really hard to get tickets, so I’m hoping my application for a press badge is accepted!
-Get better at making props for my cosplays. I use a lot of cardboard and foam. And I’d really like to challenge myself by using new materials.
-Be more active (who DOESN’T put this on their to-do list?) But seriously, I sit at the computer a lot.. like a whole lot. I’d like to do more activities outside.
-I never made it to the Dallas Aquarium or Arboretum which was on my list for 2013. So I definitely HAVE to do that.
-See more movies. This sounds like a silly goal, but I’d like to go to the theater for new releases more often.
-Reply to blog comments. I’m putting this because I am really bad about replying. I absolutely read every single comment on my blog, Facebook, Instagram, etc … But I tend to check them on my phone and tell myself I’ll reply to it when I get to my computer. I appreciate everyone taking the time to look at my posts, and I would love to interact and become a better friend! I can be super shy, and a big goal of mine for 2014 is to become more social. On AND off the internet.
So let’s all raise a glass (Coke Zero in mine) and celebrate the end of a great year and the beginning of an even better one!

What was your favorite memory of 2013?

This is great! Still Into You is TOTALLY my song of the year too! Its even my "power" song for working out! (I am also a dork in that, I sing it to my husband a lot LOL).
Your cosplays are great girl! Keep it up! I hope we both get SDCC tix this year! Happy new year!
-
Isn't it the best song?! It's just so dang catchy. I love her pink and orange hair in the video, too. I think that's my fav style she's done.
And thank you so much! It would be way awesome to see you at SDCC. Happy New Year 🙂
-
-
Happy New Year! My favorite memory of 2013 wold have to be visiting Seattle. I love that city and I fall in love with even more every time I visit. I have a lot of goals for 2014, but my biggest is to be healthier. Here's to 2014!
-
Seattle is definitely easy to fall in love with. I enjoyed visiting it, but didn't really get to see much of the city. So hopefully I can go back someday! Happy New Year!!
-
-
Happy New Year!! I really hope you get SDCC tickets, that would just make my year! SDCC is so, so fun and such a different experience than any other con I've been to. I think you'd love it!
I am so happy that I've gotten closer to you this year, you are one of my favorite con friends! <3 Here's to an excellent 2014!!
-
SDCC with you would be a total blast!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get tickets! I'll need advice from ya on how to survive it, too! Happy New Year, Mia!!

Cheers and Happy New Year! Here's hoping that your 2014 is even more amazing than your 2013 was!
-
-
Have you heard this guys string cover of Still Into You(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxmKvtwKpGw)? Probably my favorite cover of the song on Youtube.
I would hope that my favorite memory was my trip to Denver, but that didn't end the way I wanted it to. Just gotta keep working at it, have to make every day matter. Real talk though, keep doing what you do. I love reading your blog. You always have such positive things to say, and I always feel inspired to do something imaginative. Stay awesome!
-
Whoa that violin cover was so cool! So unique!
Thank you for your kind words 🙂 It's so inspiring to ME to keep blogging when I read supportive comments from friends! You rock!
-
-
I'm starting to think going to more cons should be a resolution for me this year. There aren't that many in the Montreal area, but I did get to go to PAX East last year. Missed out on tickets for 2014, so unless I get invited as an exhibitor it's unlikely that's happen this year.
-
I got a Saturday and Sunday ticket to PAX East and I have a feeling I won't be able to go!! So if you can't get an exhibitor pass then email me!!
-
-
Happy New Year!!! Good Luck with SDCC!! I couldn't go one year and that was the end of getting tickets. I put my name into being intrested in Volunteering again so we shall see. The best memory for me in 2013 was my trip to London/Paris!! So rad!! My goal for 2014 is to get back to SDCC and maybe PAX prime. I just can never get tickets. I do have DisneyWorld planned for this year and ECCC!!
-
I saw your London/Paris pics on Instagram! What an amazing trip! I've never been outside of the country.. Maybe I'll add that to my goal list 🙂
-
-
Dude. You are my hero. I am so happy to have met you this year. You are a beautiful and talented girl and I hope my cosplay will be as good as yours in 10 years. 🙂 Thank you for being you and by the way your Fiona cosplay is the best thing ever!!!
-
Looks like an awesome year!!
Wish I could have made it to Disney or comiccon too (awesome cosplay). 😛<3

March Madness 2014
Hey everyone! Sorry it’s taken me so long to update! I had a BUSY couple of days lately! This past weekend was Animation Celebration, and I worked all week on some new cosplays. I plan to type up full tutorials, con reviews, and other posts soon. I just need to organize all my photos! The month of March had a convention nearly every weekend! So I am a little backed up. For now.. please check out my Facebook and Instagram! I posted a lot of photos from the weekend there as well as progress pics of my outfits! 🙂 Also, don’t forget to enter my autographed Divergent poster giveaway. It ends tonight! Hopefully soon I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled blog posts. Thanks everyone for always being so supportive! You guys rock 🙂
Here’s a peek at my table from Animation Celebration! I made my Princess Anna cosplay in four days!
And I wore Ariel on Sunday to the convention! I will give details soon on where I found each piece of this cosplay. The hair bow was made by the talented AngiViper!

Dallas Comic and Pop Expo 2013
Dallas seems to have a comic, anime, toy or gaming convention nearly every weekend lately. Sometimes there are more than one at a time! Well in early March I attended the Dallas Comic and Pop Expo. It was held in Richardson, Tx at the Richardson Civic Center. This was their first year, and I would say it was a success! I only went on Saturday, but I was very excited to meet Nicholas Brendan. He played Xander on my favorite TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

Pinterest Favs #3
Here are a few things I have pinned and liked on my Pinterest lately!
Black Milk Clothing has a TON of awesome leggings and dresses that I would love to spend my life savings on. These mermaid leggings have been on my wish list for a long time. The purple ones are sold out, but you can still buy the green ones in select sizes.
This Beyonce “Single Ladies” Nintendo crossover is too cute! The artist is Princesa Daisy.
Pinterest usually has good links to the original source, but when people pin from Tumblr you lose the credit sometimes. I try not to post things that don’t have a source, but this image was too cool not to share. It reminds me of Nerd Burger! 🙂
I loved this photo of Twig the Fairy! The local Renaissance festival is in a few weeks, and I have felt inspired to make a fairy outfit this year. I will hopefully have some awesome wings to share with you guys soon. 🙂
OMGGGG when I saw this I nearly fell out of my chair! Pekoe is a cub villager in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and is just about the cutest thing ever. I don’t have Pekoe in my town, but she’s welcome to move in anytime 😉 This lovely art is by Nevirra.
This gave me a good chuckle! Because it’s totally true! I’ve yelled at my computer screen a few times while gaming. Gamer girls can be feisty. This art is by Emikova.

Feel free to share yours in the comments so I can follow back 🙂

Tutorial: Adventure Time Fionna Cosplay
If you’re a fan of Adventure Time then I am sure you’ve thought about wielding your own crystal sword and bunny hat! So this tutorial is for you 🙂
I found all of my supplies at Walmart. The hat, however, was purchased at Hot Topic. It looks like Fionna’s is sold out online but they still have Finn’s for sale. There’s also a lot of great hats for sale on Etsy!
I bought an XL shirt and took it in on the sides. This way it would still be extra long. I am holding it with my hand here. I also shortened the sleeves. The skirt is actually a dark blue tank top. I cut it in half and hemmed it to make it into a skirt.
This sword was in the toy section at Walmart. It’s made of foam. I cut the top and added some extra styrofoam to rebuild the point. I used some styrofoam to make the little square gem at the bottom, too. Then I wrapped it in masking tape and spray painted it. The tip looked kinda wonky, though, so I decided to re-cut it.
I shortened the point to give it a little better shape. Then I just re-taped it and spray painted it again.
The backpack took a little more effort. I didn’t use a pattern at all. I completely made this up as I went.
So first I used a bowl to get a basic shape.
I cut out four half circles – 2 of each color.
Then I laid them on top of each other and stitched the edges together. But make sure to leave the straight part (where I am pointing) open!
For each strap you need one rectangle of each color.
I stitched one color at a time then combined them.
Then I used stuffing to make the straps look thicker.
Be sure you add a button to the outside!
I did a terrible job attaching my straps to the backpack so don’t zoom in, but you get the idea here!
Finally bend your backpack around so you can sew it together. I put more stuffing into mine since this isn’t a real backpack.
Tada!
And the back!
I originally made some socks using little girls stockings and paint, but they were awful. So I found these at American Apparel. They come with three blue lines so I just folded the top down to hide the top line. And since my shoes didn’t have a black strap across them I slipped a black rubber band on my foot!
My wig is from Arda Wigs. It is a Luthien in Titanium Blonde. I bought this to use for a different costume, but it worked well for this, too.
This print is for sale in my Etsy shop!
Edited this blog post to add this pic of Pixie as Cake! Since people always ask me “Where’s Cake?” Lol
This is my friend Krystle Starr as Princess Bubblegum! We filmed a fun video together you can see here.
:+:+:+:+:
Which character is your favorite from Adventure Time?
Let me know if you wear this cosplay!

Divergent Dallas Red Carpet + Giveaway!
I recently reviewed the first Divergent book and read the next two in the series within days. I became an instant fan so when I found out there would be a Red Carpet event from the official Divergent Facebook page I immediately sent in an email to see if I could get a press pass. The event featured Miles Teller and Jai Courtney who play Peter and Eric in the movie. Fans had the chance to get their autograph and then see a pre-screening of the film!

Music Spotlight: Erutan
My favorite genre to geek out over is definitely “fantasy.” I have always loved anything magical, mythical and mystical. It’s why I choose to mostly play MMORPGs like EverQuest 2 or dress up as an elven warrior or princess. While browsing through YouTube videos tonight, I found an artist named Erutan. I am kind of shocked I have never heard of her before. Her music is enchanting and fits right in with my playlists. The best part of discovering the song “The Willow Maid” on YouTube was witnessing the whimsical tale through a moving collage of art. I have listened to her whole album “Raindancer” on iTunes now and equally enjoyed it. But I do recommend you watch the video to experience the story first hand. 🙂 Another favorite of mine is her cover of the song “Come Little Children” from the movie Hocus Pocus. Erutan had created a Kickstarter to help produce a physical copy of her album, and I am so happy that she’s gone way over her goal. Very well-deserved!
Photos by Alan Tijerina
Perhaps the timing of this discovery was meant to be for me. I will be my favorite elf this Saturday! I am wearing my Legolas cosplay to the Heart of Texas Comic Con in Waco, Tx. I’m excited for the chance to meet Manu Bennett who is Azog the Defiler in The Hobbit. Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook (@GlitzyGeekGirl) to see my posts from the weekend. This is my first time having a table at a convention and being a costume contest judge, too!

Who are some of your favorite “fantasy” musicians?

The Little Mermaid Musical
Last week I went on an adventure to downtown Dallas to see the Broadway musical production of Disney's The Little Mermaid! My dad saw an ad for this in the paper, and I immediately bought tickets since they were selling fast. This event was put on by the Dallas Summer Musicals for their 74th season. They are the largest producer of theatrical entertainment in the Southwest United States. Before the performance they said it typically takes them about 12 weeks to prepare for a show, but this one was completed in only 3 weeks! That included all the costume designs, set building and rehearsals. The quality was not compromised one bit because this musical was a beautiful production of epic proportion!

Tutorial: Wonder Woman Cosplay Costume
She is brave! She is fierce! She is .. Wonder Woman! I chose to make a Wonder Woman cosplay to wear to the Dallas Comic Con (now called Fan Expo Dallas) because I wanted to wear a costume that was fun, colorful and a character I admired. I feel like no other comic book superhero fits that criteria better than Wonder Woman! So if you have ever considered making this cosplay for yourself here is my tutorial/walk through/guide of how I made mine!

OMGlitzy! New blog! New name!
I’m excited to share that I have come up with a fun new name to go by – OMGlitzy! I’m still Glitzy and I’m still geeky, but I have felt like going by a different online handle for awhile now. I’m still going to update this blog with cosplay tutorials and giveaways, though. So don’t lose this bookmark! Since this site became cosplay centric and still gets lots of hits, I plan to keep it updated when I can. But my new blog www.omglitzy.com is going to be a little more random and a place for me to hopefully post more often without the pressure of making an epic post each time. What I mean is I started to feel like if I didn’t make a cosplay post with lots of photos, links, and information then no one wanted to read it. I didn’t want to clutter this site with random ramblings. I dunno, I am sure it’s just some weird blogger insecurity thing. But what I’m getting at is my new blog will be more laid back and easier for me to just chat about what’s going in my life!
I’ve already updated my Instagram and Twitter to my new handle – @OMGlitzy – but my Facebook and YouTube links will have to stay /GlitzyGeekGirl since they don’t offer name changes. I debated about how to handle my Twitch channel (since they don’t do name changes either) and ultimately decided that since I plan to stay pretty active on there that I would go ahead and make a new channel with my new name. So if you’d like to keep following me on Twitch head over to twitch.tv/omglitzy and give it a follow!
Thanks so much for staying interested in this blog while I’ve gone through some transitions this year. Coming soon here will be a Wonder Woman cosplay tutorial!
HUGS!!

22 Underrated Movie- Meet the Robinsons: it was so funny and cute, and completely went under the radar!
23 Movie that Makes you laugh- Emperor's New Groove: I LOL every. single. time!
24 Movie that Makes me cry- Up: the beginning is so beautifully done. When someone tells me they didn't have feels I question their sanity.
25 your favorite scene from favorite movie- Emperor's New Groove (though, not my fave flick)- the scene where Kronk is taking llama kuzco (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv-sKP17xTw)
26 Saddest Death- Bambi/Up- it's his mom man! and then Ellie! I can't deal!
27 Favortie quote: Newsies- Seize the Day…the whole song.
28 Favorite Theme Park- Disneyland! Though smaller than World, it still holds it's magic.
29 Favorite Theme Attraction- Peter Pan ride, and Pirates of the Carribean- they are on the opposite ends of the "Line Wait Time" spectrum too.
30 Favorite Show: I miss the Main Street Electrical Parade.This was such a fun series! I like hearing about different people's tastes and perspectives!

The first 5 minutes of Up destroys me every time. I avoid watching that movie just because of that. It's really a testament to Pixar's film-making ability that they can get you that emotionally involved in such a short period of time. The remainder of the movie is so-so… not their best story but a pretty good one all the same. Those first 5 minutes are among the finest in film history though.

I cried so much when ray died. A lady next to me in the theatre gave me her tissues. 🙂

OMGLITZY: Intergalactic Planetary
Thursday, December 20, 2012
Intergalactic Planetary
Do you ever wake up with a song in your head? Singing or humming a tune that’s super random? I always wonder if it’s some sign that it MUST be the first song I listen to or something bad will happen. I mean why else would “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys be on my mind? So I googled the lyrics and put it first on my playlist. Interesting and cute song 😛
“If you try to knock me you’ll get mocked
I’ll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees’ll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock”
So anyone doing something fun before the end of the world tomorrow?
I am booked all evening at the salon so my clients can go out in style! 😀

OMGLITZY: Dallas Comic Con 2012
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
Dallas Comic Con 2012
I have always wanted to attend the San Diego Comic Con, but for now the Dallas one will suffice! It was totally rad, too! I have been to two Twilight conventions before but they don’t compare to Comic Con. There were a wholeeeeee lot of people there. A few websites said “roughly 20,000 attendees.” Holy Bill of Rights, Batman!! I went by myself, but met a lot of new friends.
Naturally, I had to dress up for it, too. So I went as Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It was a pretty easy costume for me. I dyed my blonde hair blue for it, ordered the purse and goggles from Amazon, and found the purple tights and pink shorts at the mall.
A few of the celebrities I got to see were Stan Lee, Patrick Stewart and Summer Glau. I also got to meet and get an autograph from James Marsters. I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan and Spike was a favorite character of mine. So I was giddy and starstruck when I shook his hand!! He was really cool in his Q&A panel, too.

This was my outfit for Day 2

Your costume is excellent! That's really cool that you got to see celebrities like that! (I'd name the ones I think are cool, but I'd just be repeating your list.) You'll make it to San Diego someday!

You really nailed your costume. Heck, I don't think they should even be called costumes. Looks like a great place to get to see. Spike. Wow, that is amazing. Hope you can get to more in the future.

I was posting comments while peeps stood in front of live feed at A-Con. Let's just say I wasn't overly polite.
