Quirky Heroines, Happy Endings

Five Characters I'd Love to be for Halloween

Here we are again for the Five Fandom Friday link up!  I must say I am enjoying these little trips every week.

Let’s get right to the chase, shall we?  Here they are in no particular order.

Captain Jack Sparrow – Pirates of the Caribbean movies

 

Jack Sparrow 1

How much fun would it be to be a pirate (in the movie world, of course, forget the killing and the shooting and the scurvy and terrible food).  I loved the Pirate movies and remember the ride as a child at Disney World.  The long coat, the beads and shoot, there’s even a purse!  What’s not to like about this?

Akasha, Queen of the Damned

Just because… Aaliyah.  What an awesome costume.  Nuff said.

All I would need is to add a pair of goggles and an umbrella!

Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy

 

 

Yeah, so maybe she’s a little too gung-ho about plants and the environment, but a grrl’s gotta have a hobby right?  And you can never have too many plants or loads of gorgeous red hair.

GoGo Yubari

She was the best thing about the Kill Bill movies….all of them.

You can beg better than that!

 

Thanks for reading!  I had a great time picking out my virtual costumes.

5 Fandom Friday-Geek Clothes…Get in my Closet Now!

It’s that time of the week again, although I think I missed it by 24 hours or so.  No matter.  With a wrinkle in time (and backdating the publishing date), I can pop right back in time and pretend I’m posting this on a Friday when I was supposed to do it.

fandom.5.fridayAgain a big thank you to The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick for organizing this!

Without further chit-chat, let’s give you what you came here for, the five geeky items of clothes that I want in my closet now!  Take my money! Or better yet…send it free!!

1.  Soft Kitty Blanket from ThinkGeek.com

I feel like a Wonder Woman whirlwind with three children and a dog, especially on the weekends.  I need this shirt to continually remind myself that yes, I am an Amazon warrior princess!

This is classic stuff.  I found this gem on www.thatawesomeshirt.com
