Wonder Woman is bad-ass, but here’s why I love Etta Candy even more
Have you seen Wonder Woman yet? If not, get thee to a theater and enjoy some of the best ripped-women-kicking ass you’ve seen in ages. But I’m not here today to talk of Diana, Amazonian demigod of our dreams, but rather, plus size winner of our hearts, Etta Candy.
Etta is big, bold, adorable, and loves her damn self thankyouverymuch. Here’s why Etta Candy is the hero we need AND deserve…
What Master of None shows about how far we’ve come with comedy
I’ve beenwatching the new season of Master of None starring Aziz Ansari and a slew of other talented actors of color. It’s amazing and I’ve been really enjoying it. But what struck me with the comparison between these shows was how much comedy has changed since the age of streaming. While switching between a show like the 1990s mega hit sitcom Friends and the far more lucid dialogue of Master of None gave me some perspective on how much has changed.
Sick sad geeky world: How to avoid con crud (aka nerd flu!)
As I start my work week post-pop culture convention (this time around C2E2 in Chicago!), I reminisce about meeting Evanna Lynch, touching base with some of my faves in Artist Alley, meeting up with a friend dressed as Negan (bat with torn scalp included), and start to feel that familiar throat tingle of an impending cold. Yep, it’s “con crud.”
Here’s how to avoid it…
The cold never bunny’d me anyway: How to DIY this Elsa bunny for Easter
I’m knitting Easter bunnies for my daughters and nephews this year. I decided that rather than get each kid a new stuffed bunny each year (which is what we’ve done up to this point) I’d just make them new clothes each year.
Since my two year old nephew is completely obsessed with Frozen (and really all Disney princesses) I decided to make him an Elsa Bunny…
Stop everything and look at this Cookie Monster bikini
Just look at it looking at you. It’s totally staring right into your cookie-slaying soul, and saying, “you know you need this in your life. You didn’t even know I existed until today, but now that you do… the whole world just seems to make sense again.”
This real-life eggplant emoji vibrator is a wet dream come true!
I just wanted to squeeze in a little afternoon delight right now, and let you know that the eggplant emoji — you know, the emoji that we ALL use because Japan hasn’t gifted us with a dick emoji (yet) — is now a real life vibrator. In real life!
A decade of elaborate, handmade Halloween costumes that will make you go “how did she do that!?”
You might remember Krista from her rainbow polka dot nursery. She’s not just great at decorating, she’s also been making elaborate Halloween costumes for the past 10 years.
In honor of Halloween, I thought I’d share them with you…
“Speechless” is a show about someone with a disability… and it’s not completely fucking that up!
As a mom of a child with Down syndrome, I’m always looking for something new and good that relates to our family on TV. As a deaf mom who has long been a disability rights activist, I’ve found that to be pretty damn hard to find.
“Speechless” is a new TV show that seems to fit the bill. It’s amazing to see the first TV show in which the central character has a disability, and all of the story lines flow around him!
