Ted 2 open casting

Gosh I've been gone a while. To be fair, I had basically dropped of the face of the earth as opposed to just neglecting my blog.
Last Saturday, I finally got off my butt and did a thing. I had never heard any good things about Ted, y'know that one movie about the super crude teddy bear. But then my sister returned from visiting some friends in England with some new information such as there's a party scene with Flash "A-ahhh" Gordan, and that it takes place locally.
Also, she told me, they're looking for people in costume for something and we need to do it. So I left finding costumes to the last minute and spend the night before rhinestone-ing a light up Mjolnir. Raven invited her friend, Ari, to be our stand-in Thor since Sarah was on vacation, AND THE BLINGVENGERS ASSEMBLED.

It was like all the lines on Comic Con without the Comic Con. It was wicked hot and sunny and three days later, I still have a sunburn-line on my chest. Looks like we won't know if we get to be extras for a while, but filming has started at this point.
After spending half the day in line, everyone was tired and hungry. Being in the mood for ice cream
instead of shawarma, we took a trip to Friendly's.
My favorite thing at Friendly's was a little girl telling her family about the superheroes "But they're all girls!" I love little kids when I'm not directly interacting with them. I had that kinda disgusting "celebrate" ice cream which was like vanilla chunks of cake and frozen blue frosting mixed in.
The last order of business was going to Build-A-Bear because Raven does a ton of traveling for work. I made a Captain A-bear-ica because why not.

Bling-vengers Assemble!

I gave a hint of what everyone was going to wear on Saturday, so now it's time for the big reveal.
Bling-vengers Assemble!
Antonia and Raven were super excited to be Science Bros
First things first, we checked in at the masquerade table for Sunday's performance
There were freebie tables in the con-suite, including a table devoted to the movie Warm Bodies. the guy manning the table needed to get a picture with us.
changed into what we had so far for the masquerade so the tech guys could work out the lighting
Blocking an aisle in the dealer's room so people could take pictures
You wouldn't like the Hulk when (s)he's hungry. That goes for the rest of us too, so many trips to the green room for snacks. Also, Thor is too cool for your shit.
I know Wonder Woman is DC, but that doesn't mean we can't take pictures together.
there was an in-character "Dating Game" that we entered.

And we got pretty far.

who knew the trekkies would be the perfect match?
Bling-vengers out!

Wedding covers

Oh wow, three posts in one week? how cool!

So I was browsing Comics Alliance today and found the article on Phil Noto's variant cover for Astonishing X-men #51 which will have the first gay marriage in Marvel comics.
The next question is why do I care, This is a great thing to happen and all, but I just don't care for weddings in general.
The answer is that my best friend, Sarah collects wedding editions of comics (mostly avengers related). So far she has the Black Panther and Storms wedding, and Luke cage and Jessica Jones' wedding. 













So I guess I'll be going out early to try and pick up this variant and gift it to my friend.

My mum sent me a picture on Facebook today.

... suddenly, I feel like sewing.

Finally got to seeing the Avengers tonight. It made me so happy. That's the only way I can describe it. It made me really really happy.
 I went with my mum, so no actual costume this time, just rocking the red white and blue.
When I had gotten the skirt, I had wanted to hem it shorter and use it for my fem!superboy (which I didn't end up doing because I got lazy) to which my mother had said "Just make sure you don't make it too short. You don't want to scare Steve." because she had this strange notion that I think I'm Captain America's girlfriend. I decided to humor her with this outfit.
