Someday My Doctor Will Come

TRUE CONFESSION TIME.

If I were going to be on Doctor Who, I'd play Amy Pond.  BUT that role has already come and gone.  So, barring some wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey tricks, I'll have to go to my second choice, which is some kind of royalty.

Well, GUESS WHAT!?  They already designed the perfect costume for what I can only assume would be a Time Princess.  Similar to a Time Lord, but prettier and with Cathy Cambridge hair.

Artist Anne-Louise Richards (who is 17, BTDubs, so there's your Feel-Old-And-Unsuccessful for the day) sketched this UHmazing ballgown for the TARDIS enthusist:

As if that wasn't enough, Redditor _queenofhearts decided to pull a Fairy Godmother and make everyone's dreams come true BY MAKING THE WHOLE DRESS:

Though I must admit my favorite part is that adorable wittle ginger kitty cat!

Ever After, Journey Over...Or Is It?

Cast this man in every musical.  Immediately.

She Said Yes! SO SAY WE ALL.

Reddior DisturbedRobot met his girlfriend at a Battlestar Galactica party.  I KNOW, RIGHT!?  Already so gross-cute and nerdy.

When he was ready to pop the question, he knew he had to do something worthy of their humble, BSG beginnings.  So he designed a custom Cylon-y ring.  He had the diamond and gold from his grandmother's engagement ring--AHH my heart! So many feels!--"reforged by jewelry crafter Craig Elliott."

The inclusion of the word reforged made this even better.  I <3 smithing terms.

The Princess Is In Her Own Damn Castle

Anita Sarkeesian runs the blog Feminist Frequency where she explores the portrayal of women in pop culture.  As you can imagine, this makes her kinda unpopular, because people love hatin' on the ladies.

(Don't believe that people hate on the ladies?  Check out this note from her TEDxWomen page: "WHY ARE COMMENTS TURNED OFF? This talk comes from a woman who was targeted by an online hate campaign. Predictably, the same campaign has targeted this talk, so comments have been shut down. If you’d like to comment constructively on this video, please share on your own social networks.")

She's just started a new part of her video series, "Tropes vs Women in Video Games," and Part 1 looks at my personal fave trope, The Damsel in Distess.  It's my fave because I'm a damsel and always slightly in distress.  Unfortunately, my distress is more did-I-choose-the-wrong-outfit-today and less this-dragon-locked-me-in-his-castle.

But unlike me, Sarkeesian is anything but a DiD (that's my abbrev for damsel in distress), as you can see from her cool vid below.

"We're Starks. Our way is the vintage way."

There are no words for this.  Only screams.  Screams of joy and pain.

GREYJOY.

You Solo'd Me!

In case you haven't had your fill of Star Wars love, head on ovah to the StarWars.com blog and check out Jennifer Heddle's "Han & Leia: Why They're Perfect Together."

Like, we know that they're The Best Couple Ever, but Heddle gives us some reasons why they totally stand out.

I love this little bit:

"In fiction we see all too many examples of women changing themselves to get a guy, or putting up with questionable behavior for the sake of True Love. In the Star Wars saga, Han’s the one who needs to grow up a little and become a part of something greater than himself, and he does. And what’s really important is that Leia doesn’t ask him to change; he does anyway, and it’s largely her dedication, spirit, and love that lead him to it."

Is Nerf Herder Love Like Muskrat Love?

In case you haven't noticed, I LOVE LOVE.

A lot of girls love love.  Like, being in love is essentially the "this is your brain on drugs" part of the PSA, but without taking any drugs and also without the permanent damage.  [Weeeeeeellll sometimes there's permanent damage, but that's WAY TOO EMO for a post about how love makes me squee.]

Love is also super dramatic.  Which is why so many high stakes, epic love stories take place within high stakes, epic movies/books/TV shows.  Like, for instance, Star Wars!

You all already know how I feel about Han & Leia.  Seriously I'm obsessed.  Maybe if Han stopped being such a ruggedly handsome (some say scruffy-looking) rogue and Leia stopped being such a coke-thin badass [and also a freaking princess, thus embodying all of my dreams], maybe then I would stop loving them.

Well, over on StarWars.com, the always-amazing Bonnie Burton goes beyond just my fave couple and talks about love all across that galaxy far, far away.  Take a look, then go cry into your pillow because HAN WILL NEVER BE YOUR MAN.

I mean...not that that's what I'm going to do....who would do something stupid like that......?  Ha ha ha.  That is not a nervous laugh.

PS--It took everything in my power not to make an insanely dirty "Han shot first" joke.

Unicorn Boots

No, "Unicorn Boots" is not the title of my sophomore album.

SOMEONE ACTUALLY MADE UNICORN HOOF BOOTS.

These $440 beauties are made-to-order by Etsy seller Oonacat.  She also has horns, paws [!!!], and ears, so you can go ALL OUT!

These are totally perfect for all your weirdest, bordering-on-furry cosplay!

Or, you know, just a kick ass going out outfit.  You'll totally catch the attention of all the kinksters up in da club ;)

Sephora + Disney = Girly Nerdgasm!

Sephora has teamed up with Disney to create oh-so-pretty makeup collections based on Princess Jasmine and Cinderella!  AS IF SEPHORA COULD BE ANYMORE OF A PARADISE.

The eyeshadow palettes have colors specifically inspired by frames in the movies:

And the packaging is absolutely gorgeous:

Now, if only someone would get into the business of selling street rats with magic carpets and totally disarming smiles...

This Is The Mixer I'm Looking For

I love being a happy housewife.

And housewifey requires that I drool over kitchen appliances.  I mean, who doesn't get all excited when they see color coordinated cookware?

I always thought I wanted a red KitchenAid, but this changed my mind:
