Our Thankful Thanksgiving!

My son was in a really bad car accident within hours after landing in Austin. I was asked to help make the drive so that family could be there for those involved so off to TX we went!

I only got to spend 2 days with my son but it was enough to know he was alive, out of surgery and on his way to healing up! I think he had a very nice visit overall~ He got to spend time with loved ones in Dallas and I got to spend Thanksgiving with loved ones and my Best friend Sarah!

We did some site seeing while we were in town. Went to see the "Gone with the wind" exhibi, did some shopping with my bestie and you know I stopped by Dragons lair to see the new shop and visit friends!

Here are a few photos from our unplanned visit to Austin~ Thankfully the weather held out until we were headed back to Sunny Florida!

So much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Fanboy Expo Tampa 2014

“Are you ready Fanboy Expo? We are ready! Let's do this Tampa!!!” This was what we were saying on our way to the Hilton Hotel downtown Tampa last Friday at noon. We had NO idea the fangirl moments and nerdgasms that were in our future!

Emerald and I stayed with our friends Black Rose corsetry at the hotel this past weekend and it was AMAZING fun! You never knew where a star would pop up!

*In the hotel shop looking at things and BAM! Emerald Squeeeee's that's Jem! Samantha Newark

*Having Breakfast on Saturday morning and Richard Anderson walks in!

*Tuesday morning breakfast Michael Berryman walks by!

*Steven Williams. I ran into him EVERYWHERE in the elevator, on the con floor he even took my arm and left his booth to go get a photo taken with me! Big flirt who yelled across the con floor “Dang girl, the Kardashians ain’t got nothing on you!” /Blush…Why thank you Steven! I guess my Kardashian big booty workout is working! /Hahahaha Seriously he was hilarious!

*Cindy Sampson came to the Black Rose Corsetry booth to try on wigs and got a mini photo shoot done with Elizabeth! So freaking adorable and just a fangirl like the rest of us when it comes to the Winchesters!

*Scott Wilson visited the PJ dance party AND hung out after the con to keep talking with fans! (He noticed EVERY costume change I made! Pointing, waving and taking hugs.)

*Jewel Staite and Sean Maher from Firefly. What can I say? These two popped a bottle of wine at the Q&A table and just had fun with their fans! Smiles and Hugs all around! I mean really patient and friendly people!

I did not see Erik Bauersfeld wondering the halls and that is understandingly so being that this is a super rare appearance and he is 91 years old! I wanted to get a photo with him in my Silk Spectre cosplay and he wanted me to come sit in his lap. I was SO excited to meet him and when I said "Thank you so much!!" He said "No...Thank YOU" with his flirty little smile. He may be 91 years old but he hasn't forgotten how to be a ladies man! Who is he?! This is Admiral Akbar and Bib Fortuna from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. "It's A trap..."

I have been to Cons where there have been "bigger" names in attendance and paid twice even thrice the amount to attend but I have to say...This is my second year (and theirs here in Tampa!) and both were FAN freakin' tastic on all levels!

Yea, Yea it would be nice if the vendor/guest floor was a bit larger but I'm in no rush to force this fan friendly con into disorganized mess like some other cons happening here in Tampa...I enjoy not being elbows to assholes while on the vendor floor, I enjoy that the guest stars feel comfortable enough to join in at the PJ party or to walk freely through the hotel and mingle with the fans.

Fanboy Expo is on our yearly list! I hope you decide to check it out because trust me…You don’t wanna miss it!

Golden Age Catwoman Cosplay

This Costume was made for Miami Super Con. It is now retired but I shall make a new one in better fabric!

I LOVE Batman! Had no idea how much until I noticed that 3 of my first cosplays made were Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and Catwoman! Next, I'd love to work on a "White Rabbit" I know she isn't as well known as the rest but that's okay! Cosplay is about having fun and sharing smiles!

On another note, I am not a PRO Photoshop magician. I'm just a mom who took herself off the white screen and with help from her daughter plopped myself into a background! If you have any helpful hints or advice please do contact me!
