where mah Hobbits at?

I went ice skating with friends Wednesday and then we decided to go see Les Mis at a theater. Despite not being a well functioning person, it was a super duper day. they had a whole bunch of hobbit stuff out and here's some of my fave pics:
I like my wizards like I like my cheese: well aged.

just chillin' with my homie, Gandizzle.

Wreck-It Ralph



I don't suppose I ever mentioned that I got to see Wreck-It Ralph a week before Monday. Well, I did. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since. (the only problem is that it has reawakened the gamer in me and now I want to spend all my time playing my DS)
The other thing I forgot to mention is that I made a Polyvore account a while back.
Like always, one thing led to another:
One dilemma is that overalls are so out of style that it is part of what gives Ralph a retro charm. Here I substituted a skirt (because I like skirts) and suspenders. The hulk keychain is to call back to Ralph's giant hands. The shoes are a nude platform which will be subtle and yet help with portraying his taller stature.
 
 Ralph's design was super easy and plain, so I went as casual as possible here. For some reason, I felt like a skirt would look bad for this outfit. I dunno. And a little gold hammer necklace because I don't need to explain that.

Since Vinellope wears kinda plain clothes, I decided to deviate most here. I replaced her hoodie with a cute mint sweater (because I'm really big on sweaters now). Since the ties brought a pop of color, I added a pink bowtie. Cookie earrings because the outfit itself does not scream "sweets" without something obvious. And striped tights because they're cool.

Space... The Final Frontier

Although I was raised in a geeky family, I sometimes feel like I was gypped out of some of the experience. Sure, I watched Firefly and Farscape with my family, but I missed the chance to be raised a "Trekkie".
Well, my job here is to try and fix those kinds of things for myself. So, I decided to start watching Star Trek from the beginning, And I'm really enjoying it so far.

(and  isn't that the catchiest tune ever?)
 I love the costumes and 60s hair. I found a site that has great reference pictures (though a bit small) for all the uniforms and such for the whole series here.
I think I need to make myself (and maybe my sis if she's nice) a few uniforms.
Here's the original female uniforms for engineering (or security, or going to die) followed by the dress uniform:


Also a small side note is that there are many Star Trek uniforms available on various sites that are sheath dresses, while the original design is a wrap-around skirt (sometimes you can see in the show there must be a covered zipper on the left or something similar). I just, accuracy please? at least add a flap over the skirt of the sheath dress?
