An all ages geek/nerd fashion, mash-up cosplay, bounding and lifestyle blog with an emphasis on body positivity and confidence.
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

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:

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…

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…

*This is a repost about my Scarlet Witch cosplay and how Justin gets the most perfect shots!
My friend, Ava, made this great video about the cosplay shootout that happened in Griffith Park a couple of months ago. I was lucky enough to get pics from Justin Davidson Photography and be interviewed. Enjoy! Book Justin here.

We have made a big change to the site, in case you haven’t noticed already!
We didn’t come to the decision to change the name lightly, but because it was so long, Benji is being raised pretty well so far and we wanted to change our focus a bit, we decided to make the leap. We really wanted to focus on everyday living as a nerd.
How to integrate your fandoms into your everyday life. Not with just everyday cosplay, which is fun to wear for sure, but also more subtle ways, bounding, dapper looks, pin-up style and the like.
We hope you like the update! Please share your thoughts with us. We love to hear from you!
Love, Kim and Benji

We recently bought a new toy for the blog, the Echo Look by Amazon.
As you can see by the video, this device is perfect for all beauty bloggers, fashion bloggers and Instagrammers.
Once you set up the device and use your phone’s camera to frame the photos, all you have to do is say, “Alexa, take a picture.” The device will light your photo and take the picture. It automatically goes to your app. From the app, you can save the photo, compare it with other looks and share with any of your socials. The device also has a camera and mic off button so you can mute the device for privacy.
The free app to accompany the device allows you to keep your looks and organize them by color and style.
The last feature is Style Check. You put in two of your looks and style experts weigh in on which outfit looks better on you.
So far, I really love it. Next up will be the first looks taken by Echo Look from my new closet room, a project I will outline when it is finally finished.
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Scout
