I Tell You. You Decide If You Care.

I've covered cosplayers before , because it's cool, and these people are some really stunning artists.  You've probably seen pictures of Riki "Riddle" LeCotey, even if you never knew who she was. This page is, by the way (and despite the title), not  any kind of "history of Riddle," which you can find all kinds of places.  This page is just a "Hey, now you know!" (Yes, old schoolers, that was deliberate.) Ms LeCotey has been cosplaying since before it was cool - like way back to at least 2008.  (Which is, by the way even longer than   Reigning Queen of Cosplay Jessica Nigri .) ( source: Wikipedia ) And in case your like "Yeah, but if she's that old, is she still relevant? ( source: Facebook ) So, yeah, she is relevant to the cosplay world. She's getting paid requests to appear at places, so there you go. "Okay, fine," you say, "she gets paid to appear at cons. That's still no...

You might have noticed I've been playing about with the Mighty Protectors  RPG , written by Jeff Dee and Jack Herman, and published under their Monkey House Games imprint. Well, there's this guy, BK Adams , who - rumor has it - may actually be a bigger guru about MP  even than Jeff Dee.  I don't know if this is true, but it's a fun rumor to spread (because, you know, gossip draws attention, and every indie publisher needs all the attention they can get) :-) Meanwhile, BK Adams has been making YouTube tutorials on some of the finer points of Mighty Protectors . I think this is kind of cool in general, and I like his style.  At first I thought "Why are you reading it to me, when I can read it myself?"  But, you know, his style makes sense, and he brings a bunch of fiddly bits together, so the game makes more sense, and character creation - and resulting play - is more fun. So, there you go.  Buy the game , watch the vids , have fun saving the worl...

"Soon I Will Be Invincible" - hadn't heard of it until Heinz Kreienbaum   mentioned it one day .  Apparently, it started life as a novel .  I so need to get a copy and read it. Christina Hall as Fatale And then someone did a live stage production of it .  That's pretty cool. I hope it smashed box office records, and all that.

Okay, you just know anything called " IcarusPedia " is going to pop-up on my radar, right? ;-) Actually, the site is about the Kid Icarus video game series from Nintendo. I've never owned a Nintendo, and never played the game, but I've fallen in love with this website. The goddess Viridi , from Kid Icarus. I love anime and manga.  I love comic books.  I lost track of how much time I wasted wiki-walking on this site, but it was worth it ;-)

I'm told that guys find women in clown makeup to be sexy. Well, those guys that aren't afraid of clowns, anyway (I've never understood " clown phobia ," but that's phobia for you). I think this might be part of the appeal of DC Comics' Harley Quinn - she is, after all, a charismatic hot chick in clown makeup (although, seriously guys, she's a murderous psychopath, so get a healthy hobby, okay?). Divine Caroline has a page with 10 ideas for clown makeup , with links to the women who did the design, so you can get tutorials and more ideas. Creepy or cute, or somewhere in between. Whatever strikes the fancy of yourself, or that special someone in your life. model GII GARCIA

Okay, Jeff Brown is not only a brilliant artist, but he knows how to sell himself.  Check this out: \-- $32/month - Commercial Use You get access to the archive & full commercial use of all of the images within! You also get to request what I paint once a month in the form of a 1 line description. --\ So, let me nail this down: for less than $400/year, you get unlimited commercial use of his entire art  library, AND you can request art. Now that's an incredible deal! The guy must be a machine. He's offering to generate one detailed painting per frickin' day if he hits $4K/month. His paintings are gorgeous.
