Since I had to work last November for the Fall 2016 Dapper Day at Epcot, I didn’t want to miss Spring 2017 Dapper Day at Epcot – especially since it was the perfect opportunity to do a Disneybound of my favorite Disney character – Figment! Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow horns of a…

Dapper Day – WDW Spring 2016
Saturday, April 16, 2016 was Dapper Day at Walt Disney World. This time, it was a Spring Fling in Magic Kingdom! Dapper Day, for those who might not know (such as most of the “regular” park guests for the day, all of whom felt I looked friendly enough to ask LOL) is a day to…
Dapper Day Fall Soiree 2015
I attended my first ever Dapper Day Fall Soiree at Disney’s Hollywood Studios October 3, 2015. It was amazing! If you’re not familiar with Dapper Day, don’t worry I wasn’t either until a few months ago. It’s an unofficial event that takes place twice a year at Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris. It…
DIY Female Marty McFly Cosplay Costume (Part II)
How I created my first ever cosplay costume: a female Marty McFly made for Tampa Bay Comic Con 2015. In this part, I detail how I made my own DIY version of the famous Marty denim jean jacket! Cacth up on Part I here: Creating My Female Marty McFly Cosplay (Part 1) Oh, the jacket….
Creating My Female Marty McFly Cosplay (Part 1)
A few months ago I decided I wanted to attend my first ever con: Tampa Bay Comic Con 2015. And if I was going to go, I was going to cosplay. Back to the Future is my all-time favorite movie (and movie trilogy) and 2015 is not only the 30th anniversary of it’s theatrical release…
Female Marty McFly Cosplay at Tampa Bay Comic Con 2015
Saturday, August 1st, 2015 I did my first ever cosplay: a gender-swap/crossplay of a female Marty McFly (of course from the 1985 movie Back to the Future) and attended Tampa Bay Comic Con. This was also my first ever con too! I had such a fun time. I also got to meet Lea Thompson, who…
Coloring for Grown Ups
You may have heard about the new craze: adult coloring and adult coloring books! I have to say that when I was a child, I LOVED to color. So I was very excited to see more complex and detailed books being published and targeted towards grownups. Back in March, I ordered Enchanted Forest: An Inky…
Flashback: 2004 Stanley Cup Finals
With the Tampa Bay Lightning playing game one of the Stanely Cup Finals tomorrow night here on home ice in Tampa, it reminds me of the last time they made it this far: the 2004 Stanely Cup Finals. I was fortunate enough to go to one of the games (Game 5) to see a Finals…
Daughtry in Tampa
Chris Daughtry came out to give a concert performance at Busch Gardens Tampa’s “Food and Wine Festival” on Saturday, April 25, 2015. I of course, knew him from American Idol all those seasons ago and liked the songs on the radio, but I didn’t really know more than that. I was really curious how he…
Sarah McLachlan Clearwater Florida
I was so excited last November when I heard Sarah McLachlan was coming back to the Tampa Bay Area – after nearly a decade absence! Even better, she was going to perform at Ruth Eckerd Hall. A wonderful, acoustically beautiful theater that seats just under 2,200 people. The last time I saw her was at…
Afternoon at Honeymoon Island
Love and I went down to Honeymoon Island State Park Saturday afternoon. I hadn’t been down there in years and years and the weekend before, it poured so we our idea of heading over that way got rained out. Located just off the mainland cost of Dunedin and north of Clearwater Beach, Honeymoon Island is…
Sunken Gardens (Photos)
And keeping with my effort to take and share more photos, here are a couple I took a few days before the end of the year last year at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. (I think it was December 28th or so that these were taken but I only just got around to sorting…
Flower and Garden Festival
Saturday, Love and I spent a few hours at Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival. I didn’t get as many pics as I wanted so we’ll have to go back, but here’s a few. It threatened to rain all afternoon but never did. Though it was partly cloudy most of the afternoon. The whole…
Steampunk
I’ve long been a fan of the Steampunk aesthetic. Gears, clockwork, copper, leather; that neo-Victorian style combined with some H.G. Wells and a bit of what if? imagination. But it’s not something I’ve ever participated in personally. Until earlier this year I kinda decided to start seeing if I could put together an outfit. Then…
Where Did February Go?
Here we are and it’s already March. And I realize my intentions to actually sit down and write out a blog entry in my oh-so-neglected blog last month not only never came to pass, but I didn’t even come close. Handful of photo posts….and that’s about it. Sheesh. Just seems like I’ve been so busy…
