Nubia's Nonsense: geek girls

Love Is In The Air ...

Valentine's Day is among us and I am dateless! Where will my chocolates, flowers, and shiny gifts be? My boyfriend will be working all night and I will be working all day. Therefore I might have a little something at home waiting for me haha (~~I better~~).Spare me with all of the "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day" "We celebrate love everyday" blah blah blah crap. Though to be honest, I do agree love should be celebrated everyday and to be quite frank I never cared much for Valentine's Day gifts. A simple hand written card or something creative would do the job for me. HOWEVER, It's hard not to get a little bittersweet and feel down because brace yourself... you will be seeing tons of affection all around you everywhere! Online, on the streets, in your nightmares... EVERYWHERE. The hugs, holding hands, gazing into each others eyes, kissing, the list goes on.

For the reasons above, I have decided to share some tips on how to spend an awesome Valentine's Day alone.

Hey Nubians,

Remember Back In 2013 When Bryan Singer Played This Cruel April Fools Joke On Us?

Well, I think we were all reminded of Lady Gaga as Marvel Comics X-Men's Dazzler after last nights Super Bowl Halftime show.

Cosplaying Is Fun But Finding Fabric Can Be Difficult...

While I was strolling down the isles of New York Comic Con I bumped into Cosplay Fabrics by Yana Han. Finding certain fabric, print or textures for cosplay costumes can be quite difficult sometimes. They had a great selection. From feeling the fabric myself I can tell you it's a nice quality. Some options they had were scales, pleather, gun metal, military faux leather, brocade & more.

Storybook Cosmetics does some pretty cool things revolving makeup and stories we love. They previously released Harry Potter makeup brushes that everyone went insane over which sold out during pre-sale in October. They also released a beautiful Wizard of Oz eye shadow palette which came in an actual story book and now they've released the concept for the Harry Potter eyeliner.

Hello Nubians,

"So here I am. Back on Earth. Johnny Blaze rides again."

This year at New York Comic Con I brought back my Marvel Comics Ghost Rider Cosplay I debuted last year. It was a lot of fun and still one of my favorite cosplay looks till this day. It's a cool gender-bend and I love using the molded wig/hair as the visual for flames. My sister-in- law and cosplay partner in crime for the last 2 years Kaori molded the wig and applied my makeup while I hunted down all the pieces from the costume. I've been cosplaying for so many years now that I finally got around to making a cosplay box for all of my makeup, costumes, props, & more.

Hello Nubians,

We Love To Cosplay...

I love cosplay. I also love going to New York Comic Con to Cosplay myself and to admire other people's looks. Whether it's from Marvel or DC Comics, video games, anime, & much more. I am often smitten by what other put together.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the word 'Cosplay' it's a mix of 2 words 'costume' and 'play'. A lot of people still get confused with the term... I think it's a lot different than a 'costume' for example like the one you wear on Halloween. When I think of wearing a costume I just think about it like something I do with no reasoning behind it. Perhaps I wear a costume on Halloween to look scary, or sexy, or look like a person or object... but that's it... It's all just on the outside. When I think about cosplaying I think about not just looking like a character but being that character. I think about cosplaying as a short escape from reality into a fun stress free place where I get to act like a character I like or admire for some particular reason.

Geek Girls & Boys Rejoice!

Zappos is hosting a Drive-In movie night this Saturday August 27th 2016. I've never been to a Drive-In movie in my life so I'm hoping to make it. There's something so very cool about drive-in movies. They remind me of a simpler time I wish I lived in. I must plan my outfit accordingly. I'm hoping to pop some popcorn and make it with my boy toy or a girlfriend. We'll see what happens.

And what's even better... wait for it... They're showing Star Wars The Force Awakens! Yes!

Definitely cool for my Vegas friends to check out or if you're in town. Cheers!

Cheers!
