WeLoveFine X GOLDIE STAR WARS Collection

Looks like Star Wars Fashion Is Ready to Rule the Galaxy... one geek girl at a time.

We've all had a Star Wars moment or two in our life right? I've been secretly crushing a bit on the WeLoveFine X Goldie Star Wars collection. (shhhh)

My favorite piece and really the most imperative one for me to acquire is the Princess Leia Dress. It comes with a hoodie with her iconic hair buns to the side hairstyle for Christ's sake! (~~part of many mens fantasies I'd imagine, remember that episode of Friends? haha~~) I wonder how it looks in person and how the fit would be...

Besides that there are some cool shirts and bottoms you can check out.

Girl meets Star Wars Film, Girl meets Fashion, Now girl can have both = Happy Ending.

Shop the looks HERE.

Man Crush Monday: Archie Andrews, Betty or Veronica Dude?

Nubia Mejia 3:05:00 PM

Another man I very much like that has crushed me is Archie Andrews.

I mean BRUH, make up your mind. Betty or Veronica?!

Just another dude stringing 2 chicks along, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge. I spent so much time just reading and reading and reading, looking for answers. A little date here, flirting there, a little kiss for Betty, then one for Veronica too, touchy, touchy... DUDE.

The girls even joined your band "The Archies", they went against each other at times and constantly competed for your affection... SMH.

Anyways, consider me long time crushed.

I think at the end, after years of stringing along and juggling he chose Veronica... but then I read a version we he chose Betty too... alternate universes? I couldn't really keep up. The again I heard he was suppose to die too. (guess it's time to catch up!)

2 Movies I'm Excited To See So Far In 2015.

Nubia Mejia 3:35:00 PM

I've been really picky with my choices of movies I pay to see lately...

The theatre is so pricy these days. Besides the price, you usually always have some creep talking or obnoxiously laughing behind you, someone kicking your chair, a baby crying, or some bullshit going down. If I'm coughing up anywhere around 25-30 bucks a pop it better be worth it.

A lot of movies are so "Meh" now-a-days. All these either paranormal/horror movies (~~OMG the doll, it's alive!~~) or the Taken type of movies (~~seriously, who are they taking next Liam!?~~) or the I'm coming back from war movies (~~but WAIT there's one last attack I must overcome.~~) Can someone please tell me what's up with the space movies lately?! I saw Gravity and after sitting there for 91 minutes I wanted to pull my eyes out with my own bare hands just so I can stuff them in my ears ( I liked Interstellar way more, was intrigued by the time travel) maybe the space movies aren't for everyone...

Anyways, these are just my personal opinions based on what I like to see. Here are the trailers of 2 films I'm excited to see soon.

The Voices
Released February 6 2015

"Likeable Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) stumbles innocently into the role of a killer, guided along the way by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog."

This movie's unconventional and there's talking pets and human deceased heads! Ryan Reynolds also does the voice for both the dog and cat too which is pretty cool because I didn't know he had such range. The movie seems all sorts of kooky so I'm really excited about it. A horror/comedy/thriller, love it!

Then we have CHAPPIE.
Released March 6 2015

"After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot."

I like watching movies where robots aren't controlled by humans but have their own emotions and learn how to interact. Chappie seems like it has a pretty solid cast starring Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver. I also has Yolandi Visser and Ninja from Die Antwoord (which I've seen live front row and are awesome) so that should make the film a little cooler too. Chappie himself seems like a fine...Chap?

Hope both these films rock! What are you excited to see soon?

The TV Gods Have Spoken: We Want The 80s/90s Back!

Nubia Mejia 1:14:00 AM

Man, Life Is Just So Overwhelming Now... Isn't It?

With so many new gadgets, technology, apps, etc. It's like Ahhhhhh! Don't get me wrong, I love tech and toys but it's been a bit much lately. Just because I like to play with phones, take photos, beta test things, etc. doesn't mean I want to covert my arm into a projector of pressable buttons that may lead to world domination (~~or do I?~~). Call me old fashioned, but some of the things I've seen lately freak me out a bit. I'll try anything out once (some things are actually pretty rad) but that doesn't mean I'll include it in my daily life.

I think it's clear that a lot of us, especially in a certain age group... MISS THE PAST. When things used to be simpler and honestly, just as enjoyable.

One of my favorite shows to watch is The Goldbergs.

"I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay

I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day."

It's about 11 year old Adam Goldberg growing up in the 1980s with his kooky, cool family. It makes me reminisce, laugh like crazy and have such a good time (~~I think tears of laughter have made their way down my face~~.) The Goldbergs gives me a fuzzy, warm feeling because it makes me associate with a lot of my own memories. It's like getting a small chunk of your life back for 22 minutes.

From the toys Adam obsesses over, to the activities you see go on in the school, the funky fashion and hairstyles, the movies and cartoons that were released at the time, even how people acted and treated eachother... so many cool memories. Now-a-days we could barely get our face out of our cellphones.

The Goldbergs doesn't seem to be where it's ending...

There has been many rumors of both A Married With Children spinoff and Full House Revival. Funny fact, both shows first aired 1987.

Married With Children is rumored to be a spinoff revolving Bud Bundy (David Faustino) and what he's up to at age 40.

The Full House revival is said to have a few of the original cast members. TV Guide claimed John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) would be the lead and others such as Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy) are on board. There's no mention of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen however, they're probably too busy with their fashion empire and billions somewhere (~~womp, womp~~).

If Full House got revived it would be the second ABC Family "TGIF" lineup show to come back. Let's not forget Girl Meets World trying to bring back some of the Epic Magic of what was Boy Meets World (First episode aired 1993).

This show revolves around Riley Matthews (Cory and Topanga's daugther) exploring the world and learning life's lessons just as Cory did. The new show has pretty much the same map as the original.

To wrap this up, let's just say the past was and still is rad. It's nice to have bit's and pieces of it in this hectic world we live in today... even if it's on television.

Awesome Cell Phone Cases From Skinnydip London.

Nubia Mejia 7:21:00 PM

Hey Y'all

I ordered this cell phone case from Skinnydip London and I can't wait to get it! Should be any day now. They carry cases for the iPhone 4 through the iPhone 6 Plus. I found a nice variety for both my feminine and geek girl needs.

Finding a dope cellphone case you actually want to keep on for a while may be difficult... at least it is for me, I'm mega bi-polar. I also like to keep my gadgets looking nice, I love to use this tech all the freaken time. Obviously I love the comic speech bubble, and my inner girly girl was screeching over the pink crystals.

They have a lot of cute/cool girly stuff I was drooling over (~~just a little~~). Here's a few of the other cases I had my eyes on...

The fur on this is a nice statement and remind me of something Cher or Amber would own on Clueless.. excluding the phrase however ha. They have plain furry cases available on their site.

Another cool comic speech bubble case. CRUNCH!

We all scream for ice cream!

I've once saw a unicorn and pet it... their fur is divine :)

OH... Snap! Cool phone case.

Pass by their website if you're in the mood to shop. They also carry tablet cases, headphones, cables, and bags.

HBO's PowerPuff Girls.

Nubia Mejia 6:10:00 PM

I bumped into this video of HBO's Powerpuff GIRLS a few weeks back and found too hilarious and absolutely enthralling. I wanted to share it for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

The video was made by FOX’s Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD) and is a crossover of the hit HBO television series Girls and The Powerpuff Girls cartoon series. See Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are a bit more grown up and A LOT more bitchy.

A super rad parody, enjoy!

TGIF Fridays - Corey and Topanga.

Nubia Mejia 2:30:00 PM

Remember ol' TGI-Fridays? Oh the good days... Where have you gone? The days when shows didn't need people crying every 5 minutes, pregnant teens, and everyone cheating on each other to get you to watch them? I even remember the corny little song from the commercial in it's glory and (It's Friday Night, TGIF!). I'd like to think those days were called the 80s and 90s... but what do I know.

I think one of my favorite shows used the be Boy Meets Girl. Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel) are still giving me some serious relationship goals to go after. Let's enjoy some of there finest moments.

By the way... Anyone keeping up with Girl Meets World? I only saw like 3 episodes. I'm not going to say it sucks but it's definitely not the same vibe at all to me... not yet at least. I can't blame them though, it's hard to beat or even match the classics.

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.”

- Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World"
