ICYMI, our Fall SGFashionFix Challenge has already begun! It runs through the entire month of October. Here are the prompts! Our first week’s prompt was Pirates, and I wanted to share how I built a pirate outfit from pieces I already had in my closet. I figure this might be useful if you need a last minute Halloween costume or wanted to make more use out of your clothes. Pick a Base As with all my closet cosplays, I start with colors and/or silhouettes. I didn’t have a particular character in mind for this pirate fit, so I focused on the shape. The color scheme was then based on whatever I en ..read more

The journey of coming out is one that often brings forth feelings of apprehension within the LGBTQIA community. Questions like “How should I approach this?” or “Will my loved ones accept me?” and even “What if they don’t?” can be daunting to tackle alone. While having a supportive community to offer guidance and encouragement is paramount, stepping into a new circle can also evoke its own set of fears—wondering how to establish connections and whether one will be embraced. This is where a common thread that brings people together, providing a shared language, becomes invaluable. Flame Con stan ..read more

Happy New Year, Sartorial Geeks! Yes, it has been a while, and yes we’re coming back as strong as we possibly can in this new year. No matter what, whenever I think about content plans for a new year, I come back to 5 Fandom Friday. I don’t know if it’s because it was the first blogging prompt I ever participated in, or if Kristen from SuperSpaceChick and Megan from The Nerdy Girlie cast some soft of spell on me when they started it, but I just love this concept. Nerds all over the world coming together every Friday to share something about themselves on the same theme, each wi ..read more

A Look at Fresh, Charm, and Trust Issues Disclaimer: Spoilers ahead for the movie Fresh. Proceed with caution! I am really bad at watching movies and tv shows when they premiere. I have gotten really good at avoiding media, press, or conversations that could potentially spoil something I might watch months down the road. The life of a Marvel fan, right?  I recently asked  some friends for recommendations; they suggested I watch Fresh. So when I sat down one night to watch it, I knew nothing other than what they told me: “It’s like a commentary on dating in today’s world … I would des ..read more

At the edge of the East River sits a warehouse that has the power to transport you through time and space to the year 1984 in the town of Hawkins. Co-produced by Netflix and Fever, Stranger Things: The Experience is an immersive adventure where participants will have a chance to interact with some of their favorite characters, visit iconic locations from the show, and maybe discover some latent psychic abilities.  It’s not your typical time machine, but this unassuming warehouse hides some exciting surprises. Co-produced by Netflix and Fever, the event is hosted in the Duggal Greenhouse ..read more

I’ve always held that an excellent cocktail is absolutely something worthy of geeking out over.  That opinion’s been met with more than its share of side-eyes over the years, but after growing up in my grandfather’s beverage store, and working there once I was of age, I stand firmly by the notion: cocktail mixing is an art form, and a fascinating one at that. Part chemistry, part adapting molecular gastronomy, part aesthetic appeal: mixology can easily be full-on geeky-worthy—and spark fannish delight—all on its own. But, should one be so inclined, one could pair the gloriously-nerdy mixi ..read more
