Flash Review: Quick And To The Point. 
Slashers are highly beloved in the world of horror. I recently watched Slasher: Solstice, Season 3 on Netflix. Slasher originally debuted on Chiller before it found its new home. If you're into seriously gruesome murder scenes, I'd absolutely give it the time of day. If you're looking for a solid story... it's not the worst. Read my flash review below and find out why.

The new year is a great time to reflect on your life and the company you keep. After binge-watching Netflix's YOU, which initially aired on Lifetime based on the novel written by Caroline Kepnes, I was reminded of how much harm you can cause yourself and your mental health specifically by having a toxic best friend or friends in general. 2019 needs to be about loving ourselves, and that has a lot to do with the company we keep.

I Was SO Moved When '13 Reasons Why' First Premiered On Netflix. 

I previously knew about the '13 Reasons Why' novel written in 2007 by Jay Asher and then, I heard Selena Gomez was involved with turning it into a show for Netflix. I am so excited Season 2 has a premiere date.

GIRLS RULE THE WORLD!

The Ladies from some of my favorite TV shows such as The Flash, Jessica Jones, Riverdale and possibly Charmed, have been kicking ass lately! It's so much fun to watch how the women's movement is all over the place. Literally, everywhere I look, pure magic. I love my comicbook shows. Marvel comics, DC comics & Archie Comics are working on some real gems. Even Charmed eventually released a comicbook published by Zenescope Entertainment.

Hey Nubians, 

"I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day." -I Fight Dragons

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of 'The Goldbergs'. I live for all of the nostalgia and trips back in time the show helps me take. I also happen to be a BIG fan of their wardrobe! Head of Wardrobe & Costume Designer, Keri Smith, does an amazing job! The colors, patterns, texture, & DENIM, DENIM, DENIM! It's awesome. They also have a great hair & makeup crew too.

Hey Nubians, 

Who saw the latest episode of CW's The Flash?!

Wasn't it absolutely AMAZING? I don't want to give any spoilers away but my goodness, I was tearing up during certain scenes. I can't wait till next Tuesday! On another note, You know who always looks gorgeous and beautiful in an absolutely sinister way? Killer Frost AKA Caitlin Snow played by Danielle Panabaker. Her makeup always looks flawless even after one of her crazy battles with Barry or Cisco. 

I noticed this week on instagram, The Flash makeup artist Kari Anderson shared the products she used to keep this frosty villain looking badass and chilly. I'm a big fan of some of the brands she used such as Urban Decay, Kat Von D Makeup, MAC Cosmetics, NARS & more. See the instructions on her post. 


I thought it was a great post to share because whether we're cosplaying for a Comic Con or sometimes dressing up for Halloween, we could easily get stuck on finding a good color and making sure it's good quality. These all seem like quality products and I have experience with many of these brands. 



The lips use a variety of products. Have fun making it work. 

I hope we get some closure on The Flash next week. Maybe there's hope for Caitlin Snow yet... 

Cheers!

Hey Nubians, 

New Reading Material... 


I went to my local comicbook store Alternate Reality Comics the other day and asked the owner to recommend some good comicbooks. He's pretty cool so of course he was delighted to do so. One of the comicbooks he pointed out was American Gods published by Dark Horse comics based on the Award Winning Novel written by Neil Gaiman. I've heard of Neil Gaiman before because of his novel Coraline which later became a 3D stop motion film but I haven't read or heard much about American Gods. The comicbook was written by Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell with art by Scott Hampton.




The novel as well as the comic book revolve around Shadow Moon who was in prison and got released a bit early due to a tragedy in his life. On his way home, he bumps into a guy who changes his life. The story is mythical and well... has to do with Gods. 

Watch me talk about the comicbook and the story in the first issue which doesn't real much yet but I know a little bit more because of the trailer. Also hear my first impressions on the Starz trailer. 




American Gods is also about to become a show on STARZ developed by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. I saw the trailer and it looks super interesting. The first eight episodes are set to premiere on April 30, 2017. Watch it below. 



I highly recommend you pick up the comicbook and check out the show too. I'm excited to watch! The second issue of the comicbook drops April 12th so keep an eye out for it. 

Cheers!

So Have You Watched Project Runway? This Is The Cosplay, Geek Loving Version!

I'm a big fan of cosplay and have been cosplaying for a few years now. I even wrote an article about how much I love going to Comic Con and dressing up as characters I like from Dc Comics, Marvel Comics, Video games & more. I'm also a big fan of the DIY (Do It Youself) community. For this reason I'm super excited about Syfy's 'Cosplay Melee' Competition series. I think cosplay has affected peoples lives in a magnificent way and broken plenty of people out of bubbles. It's such a supportive, fun, positive, community in my experience.

Hey Nubians,


Today's Monday Life & Style Muse is the great Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy on Married With Children. See that gorgeous face right there? What a mega babe.


Sure many may know Peggy as a sarcastic woman, who was lazy and just sat on the couch all day eating Bon-Bons and watching Oprah but how can that be? Have you check that body out? There's no way! How about all the time that must have gone into hair maintenance, she was clearly busy.


She cooked... sometimes (ok barely never) and topped everything off with a nice dressing of cigarette fog. 


And she knew the importance of working out. Check out the leopard leotard. She was the queen of leopard to me back in the day, she wore the print all the time.


Here she is cooking again, a nice salad.  (haha)


She always knew how to accessorize nicely. 


And even made working at a fast food joint look good. Always making the best out of any situation.


Peggy absolutely knew how to have a good time.


And bond with Al every-so-often.


She knew how to be sexy when it was time. (or when she wanted something)


And knew how to have some attitude when needed. I love a woman who can stand up for herself. 


So many amazing characteristics live inside of Peggy Bundy. I mean, look at that face. So angelic. Plus she knew how to dress. Leggings, heels, tops with patterns or funky colors and a nice belt to cinch that waist. What a FOX.

Here's a little quick collage I made of a bit of a more modern day Peggy Bundy. The basics are still there, cheers!

Hello Nubians,

I found this cute little shop while browsing on instagram that I just had to share with you all! As a lover of most things pop culture or cult oddities, my jaw immediately dropped when I saw these accessories. Let me introduce you to Night Owl Designs. 

Ever watch a movie or show, hear a song or play a video game that just sticks with you forever? A girly girl that loved Alicia Silverstone in Clueless or a Comic Book Geek that enjoys a little snooch to the nooch with Jay and Silent Bob? Ever stay up late nights watching Nick at Nite and being glued watching marathons of The Adams Family, The Wonder Years, The Cosby's, Rosanne, etc? Ever go crazy staying up late nights trying to beat Super Mario Brothers? You can see where I'm going with this. All of the above was pretty much my childhood.

Night Owl Designs takes popular characters or celebrities and puts them on earrings, necklaces and more. The accessories are very modestly priced starting at about $8.00 for a pair of earrings you won't find just anywhere. From what I read on the site the charms are made from ink jet shrink film and coated in acrylic for added durability. Ear wires are surgical steel and jump rings are base metal. Light, Fun and I bet they would absolutely be conversation starters.

You can find nostalgic accessories from characters such as Bevis and Butthead, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer, Beastie Boys, Wizard of Oz, The Breakfast Club  and SO MUCH MORE.  I am completely  obsessed with what this designer is doing because to me, everything I see on the site is a classic and takes me back to a very happy place in my life.

Below check out some of my favorites from Night Owl Designs and make sure to visit their website and follow their social networks Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook. There's so much more to see.

Princess Buttercup and Wesley from The Princess Bride.
