Can’t believe I got Mark Dacascos to make a heart with me, he is an absolute legend. His vibes were off the charts, a beautiful gem of a human being. We both fawned over the John Wick movies and he loved my High Table shirt I was rocking! He told me “You better not be sliding a coin across the table, I’m on a break right now!” when I got my autograph from him. Unreal! So grateful for this experience!!!!

This weekend, I went to a pop culture/comic convention in my area to see a few friends, and had an interesting experience. When I was first walking from the parking lot to the convention hotel, a man I'd never met or spoken to before came up to me just before I got to the doors. I was initially wary, as I've encountered more than a few creepy/pervy men at this convention in the past. But what he said to me, very politely, was: "Excuse me. Are you one of the movie stars?"

I can't emphasize enough how much this came out of nowhere. I also don't know what gave him the idea that I was a movie star, maybe other than what I was wearing (a purple sequined dress, a silver cross necklace, and blue/white/red slingback peep toe heels). But the question pleasantly took me aback, and after I said that I wasn't one, he added, "You're dressed so nice. You look beautiful." Which also was unexpected, and after I thanked him for his very kind words, he wished me a good night as I continued on in to the hotel.

My point in mentioning this is that there tends to be a very specific idea of what/who a "movie star" is or looks like, and not in a thousand years would I categorize myself in that way. But I think maybe looks/external beauty are only one part of it, and the rest is confidence--surety of self, and how you move through the world. I have more confidence now than I have had any previous point in my life. I know who I am, and I think I'm finally understanding how that affects people's perception of me.

So yes, that was just an interesting little moment and probably one of the highlights of the weekend. (The other was running into a David cosplayer who had on David's purple-green fuzzy sweater and purple Doc Martens (see below), a kilt for a character in Sandman, and a face tattoo and snakey eyes for Crowley--three cosplays in one!) Good Omens really is everywhere...

Honestly, Stephen Graham Jones' writing is just generally fantastic. I'm rereading My Heart Is A Chainsaw because it's good, and all of the levels just the cold open alone is operating on...how every seemingly throwaway line of dialogue actually has at least two meanings, how every sentence, every word, is as carefully and deliberately chosen and placed as the tiles in a mosaic...and the fact that while it's doing its metaphorical, literary heavy lifting, and foreshadowing every major plot point in the book, it also manages to conjure up an effective horror-movie atmosphere and deliver multiple fakeout jumpscares before abruptly and viscerally hitting you with the real thing...fuckin' masterful, man.

Time for Monster Chiller Horror Theatre! 🧛🏻⚰️

I am going as Count Floyd for Halloween this year! :D

I would love to post my finished costume, but I hate showing my face :( I could blur my face out… 🤔

(Also sorry I haven’t been posting, I’ve been pretty busy and I recently recovered from a bad cold. Enjoy this lazy animation of the vampire dude)

Had one of the the best photo op experiences ever with Jeremy Sumpter yesterday at Chiller Theatre. We went all out with the Frailty experience. He put the duct tape on my mouth (and ripped it off after the shoot - crazy I know what that experience feels like now!!!); put his hand on my head and pronounced that I had a demon in me; and proceeded to ‘go after me’ with the axe. We were laughing and shared a huge hug afterwards. The vibes were great with him for both times I was with him. Love going to smaller conventions more than big ones sometimes because you get to have experiences like this. 

Here’s a bonus picture of us earlier in the day when I got his autograph:
