She Hulk Finale Podcast
Podcast- I Got to Talk She-Hulk and Nerd Fashion!
Podcast About the “In Plain Sight” Book
I had the opportunity last month to do the “A Lott of Help” podcast with James Lott, Jr. on I Heart Radio. I’ve attached it here to you can give it a watch/listen.
We had a great conversation about being a nerd during this pandemic, cosplay, bounding and everyday cosplay. We also talked more in depth about the book, “In Plain Sight” and how it can help both beginner and experienced cosplayers build great looks.
I hope that you can give it a watch and find it helpful/inspirational.

Interview with the Plus Size Nerd
I recently had the opportunity to sit down (via zoom) with the Plus Size Nerd aka Nancy Basile, and have a chat about body confidence, body positivity, and about my new book.
As always, she is a joy to speak with! She knows her stuff, and wants the same things as I want, which is for plus size nerds everywhere to feel confident and positive with themselves. You are great right this very second!
Please enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Buy your own copy of my book here.

“In Plain Sight” Book Featured on Ordinary Adventures Unboxing Video
When the book, “In Plain Sight” was published, I sent copies to various YouTubers and bloggers I admire. I was thrilled to see that Ordinary Adventures unboxed the book and really like it!
Please enjoy the whole video, but In Plain Sight content starts at 23:30.
Ordinary Adventures is a great YouTube channel to follow for fun nerdy content. I have been enjoying their videos for a year or so, and I highly recommend. They have positive and celebratory videos for tons of different fandoms. Click here to go directly to their channel.

Thank you all for your continued support!

My Interview with Plus Size Nerd about Body Confidence and Positivity!
I recently got to be interviewed by Plus Size Nerd on Facebook Live.
We talked about a few topics, but mainly my decision to get a mobility scooter to take back my life and get out in the world again. Video is below.
If you have a sec, please give Plus Size Nerd a follow and a like! Her site is full of great information; from style guides to realistic size guides. What a great resource!
Thanks again to Plus Size Nerd for the interview!
Love, Kim and Benji

A Trip to Jurassic World in My Alan Grant Bound
The kiddo and I recently got to go back to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out the new Jurassic World section on the lower lot.
We had a fantastic time! The area was packed! Packed! So, Benji couldn’t even ride the updated ride. Even with the single-rider line (I’m too chicken to go on it), the wait was over an hour and a half! So, next time. Also, the triceratops wasn’t out and about. So, also next time. Now we have an excuse to go back, not that we really needed one.
But, we DID get to pet Tango, the baby raptor…
We also got to meet Blue and give her a command. It was awesome!
I know we looked scared at a dude in a suit, but once you are face to face with Blue, let’s just say it’s a little nerve-wracking!
For our day at the park, I wore my Alan Grant bound.
The bandana is from Dollar Tree. The shirt is from Amazon. The skirt is from Retrolicious. The shoes are from Converse. Click on each link to buy.
The Team Build is as follows:
- The Leader is the blue shirt and bandana combo
- The Brick is the skirt
- The Scientist are the Chuck Taylors
- The Exotic is also the bandana and the aviator sunglasses
- The Blaster doesn’t really apply, but a nice natural make-up works
Click here for the Team Build Checklist.
This bound was super comfy, even with the super hot day. I really love the skirt so much. Retrolicious pieces are size-inclusive and reasonably priced. Check out their website here.
Happy shopping!
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
SDCC Recap and Her Universe Fashion Show
This year we had a short visit to SDCC because we had tickets to Hugh Jackman in San Diego earlier in the week.
Dress by Pin-Up Girl Clothing. Click on the link to buy. I’ll profile it in more detail for an outfit of the day at a later date.
Our first stop was for a traditional selfie:
Then a step and repeat pic:
Dress by Disney Dress Shop, which is no longer available, but you can find it on Ebay here. Game of Thrones shirt from Target. Shoes by Converse.
Afterwards, we took a trip to the Her Universe Fashion Show. This was the 6th annual fashion show, and boy it was amazing! Watch the video below:
Here what we wore to the show:
This dress is Her Universe for The Disney Dress Shop. Click on the link to buy. Shrug from Amazon and shoes by Converse.
The next day we hit the floor and I picked up some of the pieces I saw at the show, including the Loki dress below.
Dress is available at Her Universe. Click on the link to buy. Shrug is from Torrid ages and ages ago.
And I got this cool pic with a Cookie Monster replica…
During the Marvel panel in Hall H (which we weren’t willing to sleep on the sidewalk to wait for…), Marvel revealed some details on the Black Widow film and Jane Foster will be The Mighty Thor in the next Thor film!
Then we had to hit the road and bid SDCC good-bye for another year.
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
