  • Ranking Die Kitty Die

    For fans of Arhie comics, Ruiz and Parent put their considerable talent into their personal Kickstarter project Die Kitty Die! This Cheryl-look alike is Kitty Ravencroft, a witch whose adventures have dominated comics for decades. But it seems she has lost her charms and her creator has decided on a great publicity stunt to regain…

  • The Grace Kelly Dress Review

    Weddings are supposed to be one of the biggest days of your life and the wedding dress is the centerpiece. But for this family, the Grace Kelly dress insired by the Grace Kelly wedding dress holds differing meanings and expectations for each women on their special day. Janowitz takes us through an intergenerational story spanning…

  • The Liz Taylor Ring Review

    Jewelry has a way of making a girl shine brighter, feel prettier, sexier, like sparkly armour so they can walk into the room with their head held high. For some, jewelry can have immense meaning imbued into it, remembering who gave it to you and why, all the special events it represents.

  • The Audrey Hepburn Estate Review

    After years away, Emma is returning to her home, Rolling Hills aka the Aubrey Hepburn Estate due to local legend that Sabrina was filmed on the premise. Untrue. Also untrue is that Emma lived in the main house, she lived above the garage since her mother was the maid. It’s all in the technacalities and…

  • Ranking Commercial Breaks

    You may think commercials are those nuisances interrupting your favorite shows but for these girls, being famous for thirty seconds is a big deal. Commercial acting is its own world with its own terms, protocols and competition that Kain makes as exciting as any Hollywood set.

  • Howl’s Moving Castle

    After reading Howl’s Moving Castle last month, I finally got around to watching the Ghibli movie. Of course, it’s not totally accurate but damn that studio is amazing in creating such a beautiful world that is inspiring and magical and whimsical. I mean that opening scene where Howl suavely steps up to those guards bothering…

  • Book Highlight: Rapunzel’s Revenge & Calamity jack

    If you like Westerns and if you like fairytales, these are for you! Really, they should be everyone cuz comics are cool but that’d be too after-school special. However, I just found it amazing because the fairytale genre just doesn’t have a lot of western AUs. School or towns full of fairytale characters, yes. Erotic…

  • Ranking Jem and the Holograms

    After rereading the series over the year, I have to rank the arcs because let’s face it, some are just more totally outrageous than others.

  • Author Highlight: Michelle Moran

    I have already extolled Moran’s virtues in historical writing in previous posts but after several more books in her catalogue, I have to expound on how deftly she immerses the reader into the ancient world. It probably helps that she had previously majored in archeology and has travelled extensively on dig sites so she has…
