OMGLITZY: Happy Things #20

Happy Things #20

This is a bit of a random Happy Things post.. Because it includes a lot of things I had meant to blog about from a couple months ago and just didn’t find the time to post them. I did share most of these things via Instagram so be sure to follow me there to stay up-to-date 🙂
So back in September I got to attend a Supernatural convention! I went by myself, had a terrible seat during the Q&A, and autograph tickets were already sold out. So typing up a whole blog post seemed kinda pointless since I didn’t take too many photos. But listening to the Q&A with Sam and Dean was awesome, and I did fork out some money to get a picture with Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) .. I loved him in Gilmore Girls, too, so that was an added bonus.
Next event I wanted to blog about was the Paramore concert! They’re probably my favorite band, and I danced to all the songs in their set! My mom went with me and we had pretty good seats right in the middle, but neither of our phones got very clear pics. I did buy a shirt, tho 🙂

The day before Thanksgiving, Medieval Times posted on their Facebook that tickets were only $25 for that night’s show. Normally, a ticket is like $60-$70.. so I begged my parents to take me since the price was so low ^.^ I absolutely LOVE going to Medieval Times. I have lost count how many times I’ve been there now. And I am pretty sure some of the knights recognized me. You get to eat a huge meal (with your hands!) and watch an awesome show. Huzzah!

A couple weeks ago I bought this Carissa Rose print. I’d like to get a nice frame for it and hang it up in my room. She makes really cool, colorful artwork.

You may have noticed my hair color changing quite a bit throughout all my posts and pics.. I change it so often that I forget to make new blog posts about it. Or maybe I think y’all get tired of seeing those kinds of posts? I dunno .. but here’s some pics of what I’ve done lately! 
I was planning on just touching up my roots with more purple.. but when I put the bleach on it started turning kinda green. So I just went with it and added more teal dye. 😛
The most recent color I’ve done was bleaching out the green/teal and this time adding pink to the roots. People usually ask me how I change my color so much without damaging it. I always use demi-permanent color, and I haven’t put bleach on the ends of my hair in about 7 months. I only have to do the roots for now. The color at the middle/ends is from that time I put dark purple on it.. and this is what it’s faded to. I did shampoo the pink dye down towards the bottom to give it a more pinkish glow.
This picture makes me so happy!!! I entered the official Mortal Instruments Pinterest board contest and was one of the 5 winners! I heard about it from their Facebook page and since I am totally addicted to Pinterest, I had no problem spending an entire night making a Clary Fray Inspired board. There were quite a few entries, but I saw my name listed as one of the winners and freaked out!! I emailed them my address and a few days later got a box from Sony Entertainment. It had the movie on BluRay/DVD, the movie’s soundtrack, Jace’s stele, tattoos, trading cards, a journal, bag, and t-shirt. The item I was most excited for was The Shadowhunters Codex. I wasn’t expecting to get all these amazing items so I was really really happy!!

My next happy thing is the jewelry I ordered from Kuma Crafts. This beautiful Sailor Moon necklace has been on my wish list for quite some time. I finally decided to order it, and I am so glad I did. It’s exquisite!! It’s so well-made, glitzy and girly, and looks great with any outfit. The package came with some adorable stickers, too!
And finally, a Happy Things post wouldn’t be complete without a picture of Pixie Doodle.
:+:+:+:
What has made you happy lately?

OMGLITZY: Healthy Hair Color Tips: Bleaching and Funky Colors

Healthy Hair Color Tips: Bleaching and Funky Colors

A question I am asked a lot is “How do you keep your hair so healthy?” Well let me first admit that my hair has been through a lot! But being a hairstylist that’s quite normal. We love to change our hair color often! It can take a toll on the strength and integrity of your hair strands. So over the years I’ve figured out what works best for *my* hair. I’m hoping this post will help others that might need some hair care advice, but remember everyone’s hair is different. I’ve been doing hair professionally since 2007, and I’ve seen firsthand the effects various dyes and products can do on hair. So definitely talk to your stylist for a professional opinion because they will know best!
For my own hair, I bleach the new growth (roots) with Wella’s Blondor and 40 volume developer. If I need to strip the color out of the ends of my hair I will use a lower volume that is not as strong. 40 volume on the ends of your hair is a bad idea! Sometimes I’ll wet my ends and shampoo it lightly then lather in some 40 vol bleach. That dilutes it a little and won’t be as harsh on your hair.
I typically let bleach sit on my hair for about 30 minutes under a shower cap. If you plan on doing a bright, funky color then you need your hair as light as possible and may need to sit longer. The best way to explain this is to picture a white piece of paper and different color crayons. The colors will be bright on the white paper, but if you took a darker piece of paper the colors won’t be as vibrant.
Once my hair is light enough, I rinse the bleach out with cold water (yes cold cold) and shampoo it with It’s A 10 Keratin shampoo. When coloring, I don’t use conditioner afterwards. This way my hair is more porous and the funky color will last longer.
Then I gently blowdry my hair until it’s completely dry and plan what color I want to do next. Lately I’ve been doing pastels. To make a pastel dye I squeeze a bunch of conditioner into a bowl. (I use any cheap conditioner since I use a lot of it. Just make sure it’s white. I used a blue one once and it didn’t lighten my dye.) Add some drops of color to your conditioner and stir. If it’s too light then keep adding more color until you like it. Here are some brands of color I use:
When you like the color in your bowl, start putting it on your hair. Always start at your scalp and work down the hair strand. Be sure to take small sections and completely saturate the hair. Funky colors will last longer if you really soak the hair in it. Then I put on another shower cap and let it sit for at least an hour. The longer the better! Most funky colors are demi-permanent, which means they don’t have any ammonia in them. They are not as harmful to your hair. Plus most of your concoction is conditioner and letting it sit on your hair for 1 hour+ is awesome. Your hair is so happy right now.
Once it’s time to rinse I use cold cold water again and let it run until it looks clear in the sink. I don’t shampoo or add any more conditioner to it. I just gently towel dry it and then let it air dry quite bit.
When I’m ready to blow dry I first add a quarter size amount of It’s A 10 Keratin Serum. The keratin helps rebuild the strength in your hair after the bleaching. Then I blow dry with a vent brush and flat iron as normal. After that I add another dime size amount of It’s A 10 Keratin Serum to give it a smooth and shiny finish.
It’s important not to shampoo your hair too often. I probably only wash my hair once a week. The natural oils in your hair are great moisturizers for dryness. I swear I am not endorsed by It’s A 10, but it’s also what I shampoo and condition with in-between coloring! I used a lot of products at the salon I worked at, and it’s the one I liked most. A more affordable alternative is the TRESemme Anti-Breakage collection. I’ve witnessed it work very well!
Finally, be sure to get regular trims to take care of any dead-ends, and try to avoid too much sun damage which can fade hair color and dry it out.
I hope this was helpful! Let me know! 🙂

    I've been wanting to try some bright colours in my hair for a while but to be honest have always been put off by the idea of the amount of damage it could cause. Thanks so much for these tips though, might just have to give it a go! xx

    Your hair is so awesome! It looks so soft. I always try to tell people to wash their hair less and that once their scalp adjusts.. it's really NOT that dirty anymore. They don't believe me. Oh well! haha

    I am having a problem with pastels though.. near my roots! I am currently lavender and the color near my roots fade to dark blonde fast.. and I'm not able to cover it with color again. Would you recommend using 40 vol for bleaching that area? I stick to 30 but those parts are so annoying.. I don't know what would be best! D:

      I have the same probably at my new growth, too, sometimes. Since the hair at the root is so new and healthy it is generally not as porous as the rest of our hair strands. You could try 40 vol or just leaving your 30 on a little longer. Bleaching it twice would open the cuticle more, too, if your scalp can handle it! Another alternative is to use darker color at the scalp since it's likely to fade faster.

    I always love your hair and love finding out how your making it work and what products your using! I'm a hair stylist too and it amazes me how little we learn in school and how MUCH learning comes after! I feel like I learn more and more every year!
    I use a purple shampoo when I do shampoo which is usually like twice a week. I put a little bit of actual color mixed with the shampoo and it helps a tiny bit but nothing life changing.
    I notice if I fix my hair with hairspray quite a bit it keeps my hair from getting too greasy on the days I'm stretching everything. If it's a bad hair day I'll sprinkle some baby powder on my roots to soak up some of the dirty! I'll tease it and hairspray and I'm golden!

    No matter what it's always upkeep to have awesome hair! It gets old but it is SO worth it in the long run!

    Are you interested in attaining enlightenment and personal growth?

    Try doing the following two yoga exercises daily:

    Sodarshan Kriya Yoga

    Sat Nam Kriya Yoga

    Are you interested in preventing and curing cancer, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, and many other common diseases using an inexpensive, natural indian spice called turmeric?

    Take two teaspoons full of turmeric powder mixed with a cup of warm soy milk (or any kind of non-dairy milk that you'd like). Also eat 2 or 3 black peppercorns along with it, as the pepper helps your body absorb the turmeric better. You also need fat for the turmeric to be absorbed properly, which is why drinking turmeric mixed in water won't work. You have to drink it with milk or some fatty based liquid. Do this twice a day and you will start to feel amazing within a couple of weeks.

    Lastly, please read the following two ancient indian scriptures which talk about the divine love of God:

    Ananda Vrindavan Campu PDF

    Govinda Lilamrta PDF

    If you have any questions about yoga, meditation, spirituality, or natural cures, feel free to email me at [email protected]

    Would you consider a tutorial on how you cut your hair? Our cut is similar, I've been cutting my own hair with clippers to the back and a razor comb for a little over a year now. But your layers are flawless! Pretty please!

    Much thanks to you such a great amount for these tips!I've just been dying my hair brilliant bright shades for a couple of months so still have a ton to learn.Last time I utilized conditioner with the shade dye shockingly and simply left the color on over night and I can't improve my hair feels for it.Going to begin including a smidgen of color each one time I condition now,fabulous tip!Which will assuredly spare me needing to update my hair as often.Thanks again!!

    This is super helpful; thank you so much for posting! May I ask your suggestions for sectioning off your hair? I'm wanting to bleach the front of my rather curly hair, a-la Rogue (From X-Men). I'm hoping to use Manic Panic's Flash Lightning Bleach and their Virgin Snow white toner. Also, something else I read suggested condition my hair for a few weeks head of time with coconut oil. Would you agree?

    I want to dye my hair blue or purple, or something like that and my mom won't let me. I told her I could get the colors as highlights, but she didn't know how to do them. I told her she could go to a professional, or some of our family friends, because they do hair too, but she said no. I don't know if NO means she wants to do it, or not at all. Do you have any advise?

March Thoughts

Another month has passed already?! It sure seems like 2016 is zipping by! I would have loved to have filmed March vlog, but there just hasn’t been enough time in the day to do so. I hope you don’t mind another blog post then! :o)

March actually was a lot happier than February. I was recovering from a lot of defeats and have taken time to reflect on how to improve myself. I made a list of some memorable moments from March so let’s dive in!

Dyed hair – One of the most exciting changes this month was dying my hair back to pink. Last October I shaved my head and have been letting it grow without any bleach or dye. It was getting about an inch or so long and was just a boring dark brown color. Since I don’t really have a plan on what to do with it, I decided to dye it pink again! Even though I still wear wigs from time to time, I enjoy having my colorful ‘do back.

Gaming – Let’s start with EQ Next. This is a game that was announced back when I attended SOE Live several years ago. I’ve always been a big Ever Quest fan and was really excited for EQ Next. Well sadly, they announced that the game will no longer be happening. It broke my heart to read about it. I may need to revisit EQ2 soon. In happier news, I’ve been playing a lot of Dragon Mania Legends which is a mobile app game that is very easy and addicting. In March, they released a new “Clans” feature where you can group with friends to earn new rewards. It’s one of the only mobile games I’ve actually stuck with now for a nearly year! Finally let’s get into a recap of Guild Wars 2. This month I decided to make the legendary shield The Flameseeker Prophecies. I had almost all the materials for it and really liked the design so I just went for it. A few days later the devs announced that they were postponing the release of new legendary weapons indefinitely! What!! So that means all this time waiting for the new weapons that they promised with the expansion won’t be happening after all. I admit I was pretty bummed about this news. I would have made the sword Bolt instead of the shield, but I was waiting for the new sword to come out. I guess that won’t happen so now I will be making Bolt next. Some good things that happened in GW2 was the new raid wing, the return of the Bunny Ears and the big giveaway party I hosted on my stream. I gave away lots of prizes and had a fun time in Lions Arch with my friends and guildies. I’ll be hosting a giveaway on the last Friday of every month so if you missed it you can join us for the next one!

Moving – You can read the whole story on this blog post. But the TLDR version is I made a trip down to Houston to look for an apartment and find a new job. I found a very nice place that would be available mid April so I made the jump and signed a lease! I’m nervous and a little sad to be leaving Dallas, but this will be a good opportunity for me. It will be fun to explore a new place and also get back in to the beauty industry for my career. So I am looking forward to the move. It’s just been very hectic now trying to organize, clean, and pack my things in preparation.

Divergent – I saw Allegiant in theaters this month. Here’s my mini review of the new movie: I’ve been a big fan of the books and really loved the first movie. The second movie was okay but seemed too heavy on CGI. I was hoping the 3rd installment of the series would redeem itself but it left me going home really unhappy. It’s like they totally forgot about telling a good story and focused all of their money and energy on visual effects again. Also, Tris just seemed very unlike herself and lost all of her character development. Many of the scenes and lines came off cheesy and nearly made me laugh (and not in a good way.) The only thing I enjoyed about the movie was Four. The actor played his role well and the character made smart decisions and looked like a badass. I enjoyed his moments more than any others, but it still wasn’t enough to get me excited for the last movie due next year.

Easter – It was a little weird having Easter so early. Isn’t it usually in April? My family and I kept things pretty laid back and decided to order pizza for the weekend. I also got some cute cards in the mail and had a great day!

Store – While cleaning out my room and closet I found tons of nice purses, jewelry and decor that I just no longer use -or never used to begin with – and decided to open a Storenvy! I have had 2 sales so far and hope that my other items will find a new home soon. The money will help go towards my move, too! omglitzy.storenvy.com

Pixie update – This actually happened today rather than in March but since it’s fresh on my mind I wanted to fill you in! I took Pixie in for her 2 month check up on the state of her gums and teeth and the vet said things are still looking good! I’m glad the few teeth she has left are doing alright so she won’t need any removed any time soon. I let the vet know that I am moving to Houston and it was a little sad to say goodbye. They’ve been a great clinic to go to and have really taken good care of Pixie. I hope I can find another nice vet in Houston.
That’s about all I can think of for March! Overall I would say it was a very good month. ^.^
Xoxo,
Glitzy

SOE Live 2013

Last week I was lucky enough to attend SOE Live for the first time! I had won a ticket to the convention for the video I entered in this contest. So I started saving up some money for a flight out to Las Vegas! This event was a big deal for me because I love to play EverQuest 2. I have played it for 6 years and met so many friends online. For the last couple years I have been raiding with a guild called Brimstone. This group of people have become a second family to me. We raid 3 nights a week, and I hardly ever miss raid night. So I spend a lot of time with these great people, and it was a real treat to get to meet them in person! We all clicked right away and had so much to talk about. In all there were about 12 of us from our group there. We made new friends, too, and I even sat next to a Planetside 2 player on the plane!

One of the coolest things that happened was getting interviewed by Destructoid! We were waiting in line to get our badges when two of my guild members and I got picked to be filmed for the video. You can see us at 0:26 and 0:43!

Since I could probably talk about my trip forever .. I decided to make a Top Ten List of my favorite moments at SOE Live. These are in no particular order.. because each one was so much fun!

Happy Things #14

I have been so busy lately and so many things have made me happy! I had to delete a few because I had so many pics in this post!

This is my salon Hair by Anna Lee. I decided to get that cute black and white zig zag bench for my salon and move the bulky shelf to another wall. I love having more seating for my clients.

Speaking of hair.. I bleached mine again the other day and toned it with some purple conditioner. It is looking very platinum!

My kitty Pixie had to have surgery on her front paws. You can read about her injuries here. We went ahead with the surgery because she just wasn’t healing on her own. But now she will be a happy kitty!

I am addicted to the mystery bags of My Little Pony. You never know which one you’ll get so I buy a bag any time I see them. I was SO HAPPY to find Barber Groomsby this time!! He has a scissor and comb cutie mark and barber pole colored bow tie. I put him on my station at my salon! So perfect!
Kat Von D released this new palette called Lady Bird .. It’s a matte set and I am in loveeee with it.
Recently Groupon had comic book headphones on sale for only $8. I got the Green Lantern for my mom and the Flash for me. This was my first time buying anything from Groupon and they arrived very quickly!
Last night I saw Jimmy Buffet in concert! And on my way back to the car I found this coconut bra on the ground. No one was around to claim so I figured it was meant for me 😛  Now my mannequin is in Margaritaville.
There was an update on EverQuest 2 with some new content added. This is the boss Volot in the Siren’s Grotto. He is hilarious.. he’ll summon a million little frogs to attack you. I won, of course. 😉
I’ve been on a search for macarons for awhile and never found any in town. I finally got to try some in Houston once. But the other day at the mall I saw this little kiosk that had cake balls and french macarons! I just squealed!! The raspberry one was delicious!
And finally, here’s an update on my Fiona cosplay. I made the ears and finished the axe!! I decided to remake the shirt because the first one was really uncomfortable. I think I am just about done with it and hope to get some finished photos soon.

Anything make you squeal with happiness in your life lately?

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?

Princess of the Nerds: My Room, Art, and EQ2 Loot

(click to see larger version)
A few weekends ago I had a lot of energy and decided to finish decorating my computer area. I had a few things up but knew there were a lot of posters still under my bed. I also have been meaning to showcase my new monitor that I got for my laptop. I play EverQuest 2 on a Sony Vaio F Series and purchased a Samsung 23″LED monitor along with a Logitech keyboard. I originally bought a nice Razer gaming keyboard but the keys were so loud so I went with a simple Logitech for now. I also use a Razer Kraken headset (seen in my previous post) to go with my Razer Naga mouse. My other computer is a 21″ Mac desktop and my iPhone and iPad can be seen in the middle. 
Do you think I leveled up my computer nerd status?
If you follow my Facebook page then you saw this pic of my Warm Bodies t shirt. I got this in the freebie room at Sci Fi Expo and forgot to include it in that post!

This is the photo I sent in for the King of the Nerds casting call! I included a pretty cool (I think I sounded cool) bio and a link to my blog. The show is very entertaining, and I think it looks fun! One big thing on my bucket list (I should post that someday) is to be on a reality show. Amazing Race would be my first choice, but I think I’d have a pretty good shot at the $100,000 prize on King of the Nerds! I hope I get picked for the second season!
These photos have gone a bit viral lately, and I just had to give it a try. The app is imadeface and it lets you pick from a variety of facial features to mimic your own. I’m not sure mine looks like me, but I’ve seen some that look just like the person! Pretty fun and it’s free.

For Christmas I received some amazing new art supplies. I would love to get better at drawing and painting so I picked up some ‘manga for beginners’ books. This is literally my first try at it so I realize there’s a lot of room for improvement. But it was the first page of the book so it was a good place to start. I hope to post more of my progress as an artist soon.

This was a gnarly robe upgrade for my necromancer on EQ2 the other day. About 5 or 6 of us from my guild (Carpe Diem) raid with a group called Brimstone Alliance three nights a week. Lately I haven’t won too many new items so I was pretty excited when I won this new robe. It dropped off Drinal in Harrow’s End after doing two soulwells! I’d like to add that we killed him flawlessly! That means no one in our raid died the whole fight! Woot!

And here’s a picture of my character Audeley. You get to wear appearance gear in this game so you can keep your stats from your fighting gear but change up how it looks. I change my outfits a lot.. I’m a glitzy geek remember? Usually I’m some shade of pink or purple, but for now I am green and cloverly to celebrate Brew Day (or St. Patrick’s Day.)
:+:+:+:
I’ve done some other cool stuff lately that I am excited to put into another blog post so come back soon for that update. This was a pretty geeky post that I’m super proud of! I love my room and computer area and of course you know I love to play EverQuest 2. It will be cool to see if I hear back from King of the Nerds when they start casting. And maybe when I get better at drawing I can create my own manga. I feel like a “Princess of the Nerds” now!
What kind of computer do you use?
Which reality show would you want to be on?
Is there any talent or hobby you’d like to get better at?

Vlog: Why I Won’t Be at Dallas Fan Days

Hey everyone! This weekend is the Dallas Fan Days! I’ve been attending all of the Dallas Comic Con events since 2012 but this weekend I won’t be going! I filmed a short vlog to explain why! Hopefully I can see my Dallas friends at another convention soon. Let me know in the comments what your plans are this weekend, too!

Xoxo,
Glitzy

OMGLITZY: Major League Gaming Fall Championships

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Major League Gaming Fall Championships

A few weekends ago I attended the MLG Fall Championships in Dallas! I only went on Saturday afternoon, but had such a blast! There were a TON of people.. mostly guys.. and I even saw a few friends. The coolest part was seeing Halo 4 before it was released. I also enjoyed watching League of Legends since I just learned how to play it. (I’m REALLY bad at it)
I walked in the door and ran into my friend Kyle! I met him at Anime Fest. They looked amazing!
It was funny asking random guys if they’d take my picture for me 😀
You could get free Dr Pepper .. pretty cool!
And these lovely ladies gave out free pretzels! Can you tell which one is me?! 😉
I watched the live stream of the Star Craft competition the night before and saw Scarlett play. So when I saw her in person I was pretty excited. Always proud of girl gamers. (She’s in the green shirt at the computer)

More friends! Shea and Colton as League of Legends characters. So cool!
And this was by far the coolest thing ever!! I have been wanting a larger, gaming mousepad and struggled finding one in stores. I assumed I’d need to order one eventually but thought maybe I can find one at MLG. I saw a couple of guys holding these and asked them where they got it. He said he won it and some other items in a contest.. So I was kind of bummed and said how I’d been looking for one and he offered it to me! I tried to decline, of course, but he insisted since he won two. I was ecstatic!!
Overall, I would rate my experience a 10/10 .. It was my first gaming convention to attend and even though I went by myself I had so much fun! Hopefully I can go to more of these soon 🙂
XOXO,
Glitzy Geek Girl!

OMGLITZY: My Cosplay Interviews

Monday, July 29, 2013

My Cosplay Interviews

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed for some pretty cool websites. I had shared these interviews on my Facebook and Twitter, but I don’t think I added the links to a post here on my blog. Please check out their sites and give them a follow!
Photo by Bob Sanders
First up is Comic Book Divas. I was able to meet Bob in person a few times at different conventions in town. They always have a booth set up with tshirts and cosplayer photos for sale. Their website offers a news article section, contests, and showcase real women in their comics.
Photo by April Miller
The next interview was done by Zero Fortitude. These guys produce a fun podcast as well as articles to read. They discuss and review a wide range of geek culture from movies to anime to comics. And of course, cosplay!
I feel very honored to be selected by entertainment sites for interviews. I am such a newbie cosplayer, and have so much to learn, but I am grateful my craft has been noticed. So please please check out their sites, follow their podcasts and updates, and show them some love.
:+:+:+:+:+:
On a personal note.. I am going to SOE Live in Las Vegas this week! So be sure to follow my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for photos while I am there. When I get back in town I will work on a blog post about it. I am so so soooooo excited to hang out with my guild members from EverQuest 2. This convention is going to be a blast.
:+:+:+:+:+:
What geeky websites do you follow for news, updates and interviews?
Anyone going to SOE Live?

    Thanks for linking to the interviews! It's so interesting to hear more about your cosplay experiences. It's great that you were selected to be interviewed for these pieces, and hopefully there will be more to come.

    Enjoy SOE Live! I won't be attending, but it should be fun! I'll look forward to the EQ:Next (EQN? What are people calling this?) reveal whenever it becomes available to the general public, but I'm excited that you'll get to see it live and in person. I don't know how far along in development it is, but maybe they'll even have live demos that you can play while you're there.

Outfit of the Day

Haven’t posted in a few days because I’ve had an eventful weekend! Finally saw the Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses and made a trip to Houston for the Renaissance Festival. Trust me I have loads of pics from each! So be on the lookout for some good blog posts soon. Also this weekend is the Dallas Fan Days convention so I will have lots of pics from that too.

For now here is a pic of my outfit from today. I got this dress at Urban Outfitters. Pixie insisted on a hug during this photoshoot 😉

I totally had all these Barbie toys from McDonald’s Happy Meals! It would be fun to try and collect them again.

Shourei is an artist that has done several cosplays, makeups and illustrations, and I am so happy to have discovered her through this photo on Pinterest. A faun makeup would be really fun to try for Halloween!

    I can't wait for the Mario Kart DLC to be available!! I pre-ordered it and it's just taunting me now. But at least the first bundle will be available soon!

    I am so sad that Mario Kart 8 is only on the Wii U. I still can't justify buying the system just for that game but ISABELLE!!

  5. UnknownOctober 16, 2014 at 2:51 PM

    That Merida cosplay is incredible :O I love the fawn makeup too!

    Oh gosh I wish I had a Wii U, only have a 3DS sadly… I want to race with Isabelle!!

    I love your new design. (:
    Wish I could do some awesome cosplays, too. But I need money first. 🙁

OMGLITZY: Review: Fresh Brewed Tee

Monday, January 13, 2014

Review: Fresh Brewed Tee

I recently teamed up with Fresh Brewed Tee and have an exciting review to share! If you haven’t heard of them they are a family owned company that offers geeky/pop culture t-shirts. They stand out from other t-shirt companies because they make each design in a variety of sizes for any body shape!

I’ve had trouble in the past with other companies because their sizes were ill-fitting. The girl shirts were way too small, the boys were too big .. It was very frustrating! So I am super pleased to tell you that the quality of shirt that Fresh Brewed Tee offers is great! When I first received my shirt, I noticed right away how thick the material was. The design was also printed incredibly well, centered correctly, and won’t be fading anytime soon. I can’t tell you how happy I am that a woman’s size fit me, too. I am pretty tall (5’9″) and have a long torso. I usually stay away from ordering girl sizes because they are almost always too short for me. And the larges will be way too baggy! This shirt I am wearing in the photos is a woman’s large and fits me perfectly. It wasn’t too baggy at all, was long enough to look great with jeans, and the softness of the shirt was super comfortable. 
Plushies not included – But aren’t they cute! 😛
They have unique limited edition t-shirts that will cover any geek’s favorite fandom, and a design contest is available for artists to enter! http://www.freshbrewedtee.com
If you’re interested in purchasing a shirt from Fresh Brewed Tee then be sure to use this coupon code
 FBTGLITZYGEEKGIRL1
to save $1 when you order! It can be used more than once, too! Which is great since they regularly add new designs!

    I'm always looking for new geeky t-shirts. Thanks for the new site.

  2. Joie FataleJanuary 14, 2014 at 10:57 AM

    OMG! Is that Stitch in a Jayne hat?!?!
    And it's nice to know they have comfortable women's sizes. I like a "girly" fit, but not a constraining one. I love band tee fits which is probably why they make up a majority of my wardrobe! So these sound like they would be fantastic!
    Thanks for the code and share!!! 🙂

    Oh my gosh!!!! I am so in love. Limited edition shirts are so rad and I've never heard of Fresh brewed. I'm going to check them every day now.
