Hey, welcome to the first installation of what I am going to call Bi Monthly Bangers. I plan for these posts to be every other month, just wrapping up all the rad things that have been going on for the last 2 months that maybe don't need in depth posts of their own.
Vintage Vibes
- I recently came into a big collection of scarves from the 60s to the 80s from a family friend. I spent a week in October cleaning all the scarves and sorting them through to ones I was going to keep and ones I would be putting up for sale.
- While shopping at a local vintage shop I found the loveliest white crocheted gloves that were well loved. Although there was some tears and discoloration I took them home, and I’ve already worn them to a wedding.
- Cold weather came to my city super quickly, so I put away all my summer clothes mid September. Getting to wear all the wool and plaid kinda made up for it though.
Cosplay & Conventions
- PAX west has been a con on my to do list since I started going to conventions. This year we managed to grab tickets, and spent almost a week in Seattle. If you love games, and have the opportunity to go to PAX, you have to go.
- Bethesda had a community day in Seattle during the weekend of PAX in Seattle. It might have been almost a 2 hour wait in line, but it all ended up being worth it. We got free food, swag, and hung out with our friend in our Fallout cosplays. The highlight for me was maybe chasing down the vault boy mascot to dab for us.
- To have something lazy to wear around the con, I whipped together a Fallout Vault themed dress from a vintage pattern. This was a great idea, and gave me the chance to wait in PAX lines in some comfy clothes.
- I spent most of sept and oct just waiting for Red Dead Redemption 2 to come out. Between my excitement for this sequel, and all the crummy workplace news about this came, it has been a wild ride. If you only read one thing about this game, I would highly suggest this article posted in late September about the presence of black cowboys in the series.
- What year is it, and how old am I? Because Gerard Way’s The Umbrella Academy is back. Not only that, but NYCC this year gave us even more peeks at the Netflix series that will be coming out soon. Maybe I can finally cosplay The Rumor.
- After coming back from PAX, my partner and I bought switch and I played through all of Zelda in a couple of weeks. We also finally grabbed Overcooked 2 and played through all of that together. If you have any other good couch co-op suggestions hit me up!
Additional Articles
I've been wearing more grey lipstick, because what season goes better with grey than fall? In our house we also harvested all our squashes from our garden. We have been munching on so much zuchinni, and making so much pumpkin pastries. Also if you haven't heard, my bud Sam Maggs came out with her third book! Go pick up Girl Squads and support this super person.
