Beauty & the Geek: Frankie Charles – Fashion Icon of Burnside
Hey everyone! This month’s Beauty and the Geek is a special one, the first ever joint character stealth cosplay tutorial! Insha and I recently began speaking about our shared love for Batgirl of Burnside and Babs Tarr’s amazing artwork on the title, especially since the series is so fashion forward and stylistically heavy. With Burnside ending soon…
Batman v Superman: Whose Shadow Are You On?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes out this month, and in between more morose trailers and recent adorably fun skits, I was hit with inspiration. Racking my brain for this month’s Beauty and the Geek, I knew I wanted to make it a good one to make up for the two months column absence. I…
Blood and Glitter: A Book of Art, Perspective, and Choices
“I don’t go into a session intending to make any kind of statement. I’m looking for the mysterious, how to explore the unique enigma of the situation. I think photography is as much about concealing as it is about revealing. The resolution lies in the art of freezing. The thrill is to seize the magic…
Light Side vs. Dark Side: Star Wars Makeup for The Force Awakens
Who’s got tickets to Star Wars: The Force Awakens? I’m lucky enough that the comic shop I currently work at got to be a part of a pre-premiere event at a local theater. This means that I got early tickets to go see the new movie. I’m the hero of my apartment because I got…
This is My Design: Review of Geek Chic’s Hannibal Inspired Makeup Collection
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about Hannibal. The brilliantly bloody, beautiful show that was canceled this past summer along with another wonderful show Constantine, cementing my bitterness towards NBC forever. Following Hannibal’s cancellation, fans have continuously pushed other networks and streaming sites to take hold of the series. Maybe it’s not quite the end of Hannibal…

Around here we’re talking a lot about Halloween costumes.

Beauty and the Geek: Almost an Avenger with Kate Bishop Make-Up
Ever since Kate Bishops’ introduction in Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung’s Young Avengers (2005), the character has only gained popularity. She took over the mantle of Hawkeye after Clint Barton’s death in Avengers: Disassembled and kept it after his return while he worked under the name Ronin, Kate Bishop has more earned the title of Hawkeye. In the popular series Hawkeye by…
Beauty and the Geek: Harley Quinn Style Makeup
Originally, I wanted to do a new stealth cosplay tutorial starring Harley Quinn. But unfortunately, I realized despite Harley’s many outfits, I had nothing in my college student budget closet that really worked for her. Even so, I wanted to still do something about Harley Quinn, and then it hit me. In one of my…
College Cosplay Starring Starfire and Nightwing!
Who out there is a college student? I recently just began college and realized that my wardrobe consists of mainly three things; jeans, long sleeved shirts, and superhero t-shirts. I live in Florida.
Closet Cosplay: The Star-Spangled Man With a Plan
Listen, I know the US of A isn’t super popular, globally speaking, but for all my country’s issues, I still love it, and the Fourth of July — a.k.a. Independence Day — is still one of my favorite holidays.
Geeky Nail wraps! Yay or Nay?
Espionage Cosmetics has a gloriously geeky line of nail wraps with art pulling from comics, TV shows, and video games. Nail wraps are basically elaborately painted stickers for your nails that last through washing, eating, and playing. The Espionage wraps don’t require a heat gun to apply like some brands; simply peel off the plastic coating…
