The devil does...crafts?

Oh look Luci made an Etsy page!

I kid I kid.  It was my first thought, so sue me.

Cool stuff either way, link.  I don't see those on the site anymore but cool stuff none the less.

Side Note: This show....UGH this show....GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky Dogs for Lunch

I know its a couple days late but this weekend was soooooo much fun.  Wizard World was PACKED Saturday...P.A.C.K.E.D.  We saw Grinches and Doctors and Harley Quinns and Wolverines and and and.  And pick something the cosplays were on point.  Although I must say my absolute FAVORITE was a guy dressed as King Jaffe Joffer!!!  I don't have a pic bc  my phone was misbehaving something awful (stupid cracked screen!) BUT he looked like f**king James Earl Jones.  His cosplay was perfection. 

Oh if you don't know that would be the King from Coming to America....

A close second was Wolverine.  This guy was Logan and you can't convince me otherwise.

See...seeeeeeeeeeeee.  And he was very nice about everyone asking for pics. 

I will also mention the PLETHORA of f**king people dressed as Pennywise.  I have no pics because I basically beelined it away from them but the costumes were accurate...VERY accurate *shudder*.

Anyways, I was super stoked for my pic, right?   Right!  And can I just say David Tennant is like the nicest freaking person ever.  He was like hyper puppy excited the entire time.  He took pics Friday evening and twice Saturday with Autographs in there someplace and a panel.  And the energy never faltered. 

I took my pic during the first session Saturday.  I was probably the hundred and something person he saw and still just happy happy.  Like how do you do that?  I know its part of the job but it seemed 100% genuine. 

So anyways, here's my account.  I was in line forEVER but that's cool, I kept myself amused by people watching, of course!  I was wearing a t-shirt...one of these years I am going to dress up!  That is happening dammit!  Anyways, I was in a Star Wars/Doctor Who mash up shirt. 

So I finally get to the front of the line "yay"!!!!  He was friendly with everyone and all laughing and smiles.  It gets to my turn and I get a "point at" (Maybe a 'okay your turn'...maybe a 'nice shirt'...maybe a weird tick...no clue) and a crazy enthusiastic "Hellooooo, Good Morning!!!!" (I don't know how to type out a Scottish accent properly) and my response.. "Hello" with the biggest stupidest cheesy smile.  I am so f**king lame...hahahaha.  Then a 1, 2, 3 picture and you are off. 

Observations:
- where does he get his freaking energy?!?!
- JFC he is significantly taller than I realized...or I am just short...or both. 
- No really I fit under his armpit
- Seriously though, he had to lean over to put his arm around me
- He is so accommodating to fans
     - a couple had him do a gender reveal and he was crazy excited
     - some ladies had him hold a thing like he was crocheting and it was adorable

People always say don't meet your favorite whatevers because they never live up to your expectations but this was not the case for like the 3 seconds hahaha.  The panel was great too.  Again, INSANELY excited.  How does he do that?!?!?!

So all in all a crazy fun day!  Saw Stan Lee from a distance.  Saw Jason Momoa by being a creeper (shoosh). Side note - I knew he was tall but good lord he is a big guy!  Saw Rowena (Ruth Connell-Supernatural) just chilling in her Autograph booth.  Saw Thomas Ian Nicholas taking selfies and looking like he was having a great time.  The Fonz...the freaking FONZ (Henry Winkler) was there.  I didn't get to meet any of these people because that would have been crazy expensive but just seeing them was super cool!  Also, ran into Rob Kerkovich walking around (Sebastian-NCIS NOLA), told him hello but I didn't ask for a pic...because I am lame.  He is so super sweet! 
 
I love love love going to these.  Its so much fun.  Just being there, walking around, surrounded by other fans...just that its worth it.  Meeting/seeing your favorite celebs is Lagniappe. 

So now I have a pic with David & Jenna.  Who will I get to meet next time?!?!?!  Maybe I should venture away from Doctor Who....NAH!  Or maybe...depends on who is coming. 

Just some sights we saw (wish I had more of the cosplays...stupid phone!):

I was in line and couldn't get their attention

Cool set up at one of the booths WWTW 

Eeep

Baby

Let go Back....to the future!

I can't contain her...she is breaking freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No no no ...not an Alien (check please)....my inner fangirl...she is trying to escape

In 3 days-ish I'll be at WWNOLA.  Yay!!!!!!!   I missed last year (boooooooooo) but we got our tix for this year (yaaaaaaaay).

I'd be excited just for that but I am suuuuuuuuuuuuper excited about my photo op.  I try not to be weird but I am totally being weird.  He's one of my favorite actors! 

I'm sure I'd be the same way if I took a pic with any of my other favs.  Probably.  More than likely.  Yea, no, for sure.  I mean I wanted to meet Stan Lee

but $120 for his signature.......I'm good.

And apparently there is a panel.  I didn't know we had panels.  I don't remember panels.  I am going to attempt to attend said panel.  I've never been to a panel.  I'm going to stop saying panel.......PANEL. 

Nah...okay maybe a little...shhhhhh

Anyways, I'm having a moment...Ex-cah-uuuuuuuse me! 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Its still in the 30's down here, I think my brain is a bit frozen so I'm going wrap myself in more blankets and attempt to type...I can't feel my fingers!

SIDE NOTE - I just read this in the "rules"....."❿ There is absolutely no personal photography, no videography and no autographs in the photo bay. No exceptions. Also absolutely no kissing of the guests or asking to be kissed by them."
Is that something people do or did?!?!?!  That's creepy weird...DON'T BE CREEPY WEIRD. Remember, these are REAL people...with REAL lives...REAL families...that's just.......

I think I pulled a muscle being weird....

So yesterday...ya know Thanksgiving here in the States...I opened Facebook and made the absolute stupidest noise I have ever made! 

I follow Wizard World.  And I always see all these super cool guests going to other cons but few come here to NOLA.  We get some but not toooooo many.  Anywhos the only one I was willing to pay money for was Jason Momoa.  I like him plus how funny would it be seeing me next to him (see this post) but I wasn't sure I could justify the $85 to take a pic. 

Anyways, yesterday...the day of THANKS...I saw that one of my FAVORITE CELEBS is coming to WWNOLA and I geeked out.  I squeaked and then I said "$hit, I wonder how much that is gonna cost...*sad face*".  The husband was like who is coming...?

I very nonchalantly said "oh, um, David Tennant".  Ya know, like no big deal.  When inside I was like

He said "Uh huh, maybe you'll get it for Christmas".  Really?!?!?!  Then he said no, probably not.  DOH!

Anyways I looked and apparently Wizard World was having a Black Friday Promo *SWEEET*.  If I bought an anything Black Friday, I get a discount!!!!  So I thought about it and said I'd make a decision in the AM when I wasn't drunk on food intake. 

So this morning I decided that I would totes regret NOT doing a photo because reasons....then I realized it was $104...OUCH.  Can I justify that?!?!  I can do it, maybe...I dunno.  But with the Discount, its $89...wait I can justify that, its under a $100. 

That's when I bought a photo op with one of my fav actors and then I fangirled a little...maybe a lot...and now my neck/back hurts...doh!  Oh and I told the sig other to MAKE SURE HE IS OFF so we can go this time.

That's it...nothing that interesting but I am kinda freaking out...this is sooooooo cool!  I love Cons!!! They give us little nerds a chance to meet/take pics/get autographs from our fav heroes (and villains). 

So yea Happy Thanksgiving...I am definitely thankful for seeing that post!

F**k, I'm short!

So like its a ongoing joke that NolaGurl is short.  But sometimes I forget HOW short I am.

So I was looking at pictures and I realized I am almost abnormally vertically challenged.

Take the pic of me and Jenna Coleman from a couple years ago.  Now mind you I had on converse but I was a good 3" shorter than her and she is TINY.  She HAD to have had on heels.  Because according to the Internet (its always accurate) she is only 5'2" and I am somewhere in the 5'1" -ish range depending on my posture.

Moving on.  This got my curiosity sparked.  How freakishly short would I look if I took photos with any other celeb favs (without height assistance)...?

Billie Piper 5'5" - I'd be staring at her chin

David Tennant 6'1" - I'd basically be eye level to nipples.....

Tom Hiddleston 6'2" - Somewhere in that same vicinity

Peter Capaldi 6' - Chest gazing yet again

Jensen 6'1" - I'm seeing a pattern here

Misha 6' - I'm getting used to staring a man pecks

Jar Pad 6'4" - That's like belly button danger zone (hahaha, jk...maybe)

Tom Ellis 6'3" - JFC what are they feeding these people?!?

Scar Jo 5'3" - Okay a bit closer to me

Caity Lotz 5'6" - Oh come on!

Morena Baccarin 5'7" - ...really?!?! I mean shes hot so yea okay

Jason Momoa 6'4" - Combine that with his width and that is a laughable pic

Nathan Fillion 6'2" - Dude....DUDE!

Stana Katic 5'9" - I...I did not realize this...

In conclusion...I am a for realz shorty...Jenna is probably the shortest famous person I will meet...also...any future celeb meetings, I should wear heels....

How it looks

How it feels

Oh and just for fun (because I've met him before)

Shaq 7'1" - It looked as funny as you are picturing. This was pre-smart phone so I don't think a picture still exists....

Also, the husband is just over 5'10" and my eyes are near his collar bone so I guess I like 'em tall-ish, ha!

Seriously though...if she's 5'2" and I'm an inch-ish shorter...that is totally just above nipple level.....  

Team Incest (so nice I posted it twice)

I am just....GoT is torture...and confusion!

GO READ THIS

I mean you don't have to...

Good lord man do you ever sleep?!?!

Okay so I am clearly a fan of that tall, skinny, Scottish actor guy.  Like I actually think he's a stupid talented actor but I also have a tiny crush.  But I think its because he's eerily similar to my wonderful husband, well he's older so I guess my husband is like him...whatever.  Who am I talking about...? *muahahahaha*

Obvi my hubs isn't a super famous actor but they have similar looks and mannerisms and on occasion when I see interviews its uber weird.  Especially when the hubs grew a beard last year....

Anyways, that probably has something to do with my enjoyment of said actor.

SIDE NOTE - I met my husband before I really knew much of this actor I am speaking of

Moving on... sir you are not the energizer bunny!  Every time I turn around I see "David Tennant to star in _____".  Not complaining, just impressed.

Just in the last year....

How to Train Your Dragon TV Show
Ducktales
Broadchurch Season 3
You, me, & him
Call of Duty WWII
Good Omens
Jessica Jones Season 2

I'm sure there are more but gooooooooodness. Whatever, I still think he's stupid adorable...its rather silly if I'm being truthful.

Oh good lord he's a huge dork...Okay maybe its less of a crush and more of I think he might be my spirit animal

Not....not here...he's just creepy AF here...I am not creepy...well not usually...okay not intentionally....

Oh come on....now THAT should be illegal!  This is the best way to make someone giggle uncontrollably...

Maybe I should resign from the internet....

30 years?!?! Still one of my favs!

AHHHH I forgot to post this....oooops

So apparently one of my fav/go to girly movies turned 30 (what?!?!).

Yes I am that girl...sometimes.  I was a toddler when this movie came out, so I never saw it on the big screen...just on VHS and in recent years regular cable TV. Of COURSE when they said limited re-release in theaters I jumped all over that!

I have always loved this movie and the soundtrack.  I had the tapes when I was a kid and the CD as a teen.  I have seen the movie so many times I can recite 98% of it verbatim.  Oh and I know ALL of the dances because what dancer that grew up in the 80's/90's doesn't know ALL THE FREAKING DANCES from this movie?!?!?

Moving on, seeing on the big screen with my buddies was so nostalgic!  God, I still LOVE this movie soooooo much.  Its cheesy AF but makes me so happy!!!

But after watching it in all its not made for TV glory I realized something.  I should have NEVER seen this movie as a kid.  Holy $hit its a bit risque.  I mean I probably didn't understand half of it but I saw it for the first time around when I was 8 or 9.  What was my momma thinking *hysterical cackling*?!?!

But we watched it because I was OBSESSED with the soundtrack just like everyone else.  Mainly because I was a tiny dancer and my dancing school did a whole show around this theme.  I was in a number to "Do you Love me" and did a duet to "Wipe Out" which were in the movie but I don't think they were on my tapes and my cousin was in one for "The time of my Life".  It was Dirty Dancing mania!!!

I mean how...

...can....

You not....

...absolutely....

...LOVE...

this f**king movie?!?!!?!?

Squeeeeeeee *sigh*
