New Vox Box! ModaVoxBox!

So yesterday I got my new Vox Box in the mail from Influenster!!  I was super excited to get a new vox box in the mail and what would be in it! So this time there is 8 items in the box; 3 products from Rimmel London (Rockin' Curves Mascara, Moisture Renew Lipstick, and Moisture Renew lip Liner), Puffs soft Pack, Clairol Hair Food Moisture Hair Mask, Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa, Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer, and Resource Spring Water.

I was very excited for all these items since I can use them all (I love makeup!) All these items were sent to me for free for testing purposes from Influenster. Check out this photo of the box below and the items below!

So far my favorite item has been the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa, it was really good! but all of these items are fantastic and stuff I normally use which is awesome!

Review! Bikini Ready Energy Gummies

One of the items I received in my Vitality VoxBox from Influenster was the Bikini Ready Energy Gummies.

This product is a gummy supplement. It contains Vitamin B12 and Caffeine according to the  back of the package. The gummies tasted good, very much like a gummy vitamin supplement. They do help boost your energy (both of the main ingredients are known for doing that) but without as much as drinking a cup of coffee (which I do not drink) or by drinking soda (which I do drink.)
Overall I would try this product out again. I do drink a lot of soda if I need energy and something with less caffeine and more B12 in it is a lot healthier in the long run!

Horror Realm Con

Ill be at Horror Realm Con this weekend with Razor Sharp Studios promoting our new film Pig Girl! Pig Girl won best practical Fx at Fright Night Film Festival this year (I was head of practical fx makeup on the film!!! also have a bit part in it!) So far it has been getting great feedback! So if you are in Pittsburgh Pa. and want to come out and see some awesome horror films and meet some great people come to the con!

Horror Realm is August 15th-17th in Pittsburgh, Pa.  Check out the link on the name of the con for more details!

DragonCon 2013

Convention: DragonCon
Location: Atlanta Ga.
Date: Aug. 30th - Sept. 2nd
Webpage: http://dragoncon.org/


DragonCon is a yearly event for me. I love this convention. There are so many dedicated fans, and industry that travel to Atlanta every year just to come to DragonCon. 

If you have never been to DragonCon and are thinking about going, definitely ask some people you know who have gone. There are so many amazing costumes and people there, but that also means there are lots and lots of people. This never seems to bother me, but had I not known to expect it when I first went to DragonCon, then I may have been a little overwhelmed.

This year (like most years) had lots of amazing guests. I was most excited for John Barrowman (Capt. Jack <3), his sister Carole Barrowman, Peter Davison (which The Girls Who Waited were lucky to sit in on an interview, link at the end of the article), Sylvester McCoy, George Takei, as well as many others.

Friday at DragonCon was incredibly interesting, my travel companion had an infected tooth, so sadly I did not get out onto the convention floor until that afternoon. However once I did, I participated in a CNN article about cosplaying (sadly did not make the article, but went in my Wonder Woman cosplay for it), looked around at all the amazing costumers, and handed out lots of cards for The Girls Who Waited.

Saturday was a lot more fruitful for me, I got out early to attend the Sylvester McCoy press conference (sadly it was cancelled), Sat in on, on two panels, a British Costuming Panel, and a Doctor Who Cannon panel. Both of which were marvelous and I was so happy to be apart of them!  Was also happy to be the only female on the Doctor Who Cannon, which I am happy they had a ladies view represented on the panel, since there were six panelists on it. I then attended a few photo shoots (the League of Legends Photo shoot). Then later that night I attended the Troma panel, which is always fun to see the movie clips as well as some of the how to make a movie style clips that they film.

Sunday I was up early to do a photo shoot, one of the photos will be part of the book "Breaking all the Rules: Cosplay and the Art of Self Expression" It will be out in November, and a few of the images used were taken at DragonCon or around the hotels at some of the scenic areas!
Once I was finished with the photoshoot, I went and got some of my ElfQuest books signed and talked with the Pini's for a bit, they are fascinating people and incredibly nice! I really hope that they are invited back next year, especially with the new ElfQuest comic being released by Dark Horse (I was unable to make it into their panel due to the sheer amount of people attending).

Monday I sat in on the British Fans on the Net panel, happy to not be the only female this time, since half the panel was ladies! It was incredibly fun to talk about getting into youtube/podcasting, and hear how others also got into it as well as what equipment they use and how they plan their filming/recording of their shows. The panel was filmed and will be put up on Earth Station Ones podcast as their DragonCon coverage in the next few months. I then ran over to the main hotels (since it was raining a bit) and shot a Girls Who Waited episode with Lydia, wish we could have shot more together, but between her working and me covering the convention and being on panels, our schedules just did not meet up.

Once all my panels were over I headed back over to the dealers area, which I was unable to look through when I got the Pini's autographs earlier. The dealers room was well laid out, but still a bit hard to find since it was in a new location this year, I will say I miss it being in the hotels. I was able to check out the Bruteforce Studios booth, which always has lovely leather items. The Troma booth, the Fine booth, as well as many others, it is always interesting to see what dealers have each year.

Then it was back to the hotel to get our bags and head to the airport! A wonderful time and a wonderful convention! Cannot wait until next year!

I want to than the DragonCon Media Relations for allowing The Girls Who Waited attend as press this year!
