Thanksgiving Break: Part Two
For the second part of our Thanksgiving break recap, we have a pile of photos taken at Funko Headquarters in Hollywood. Enjoy!
My dress is from Torrid. Benji’s t-shirt is from Hot Topic.
Let us see the photos you take at Funko! We love to hear from you!

Thanksgiving Break: Part One
Benji and I had a fantastic Thanksgiving break this year! LA was hit by a massive storm for much of the weekend, so instead of warm butterbeer at Universal, we saw some movies out and watched some of our favorite holiday movies as well.
For Thanksgiving Day, we continued our new tradition of going to Medieval Times for dinner. We had a fantastic time!
Medieval Times has a new show, with a twist, so I will say no more, but it was a lot of fun!
So glad we bought two photos, so we could take a nice one after the goofy one:
The day after our dinner adventure, we went to the new Funko Headquarters in Hollywood.
The headquarters is a store and also full of endless photo ops. Admission is free, and we cannot recommend going enough!
Here is a photo of the map and also a photo of a special limited edition print they were selling…
Here are a couple of photos from the day. In our next post, we will post the rest of them. Enjoy!
Until next time…

Little John Dapperbound
The other day we broke down Benji’s Robin Hood dapper look, and now it is my turn.
I went to Dapper Day as Robin Hood’s bestie, Little John.
Disney’s Little John is my favorite Disney character. I love his sense of fun, positivity, loyalty and justice. I know that is a lot to attach to an animated character, but he made quite an impression on me as a kid.
Here is a reference photo:
Now, let’s break it down using the Team Build Checklist:
The Leader
The Leader for this bound would be the bear ears. I decided to go with a Mickey ear headband, but with brown ears because, bear. I also got really lucky and found these custom-made ears by To Never Neverland on Etsy. These ladies have tons of great ear headbands for every character imaginable. Please check out their page. The headband is also super comfortable. The little feather detail was just perfect.
The Brick
My “supersuit” would be my dress, the foundation for any Dapper Day look. This dress is from Unique Vintage. The petticoat is from Amazon.
The Scientist
The Exotic
Little John’s outfit is pretty simple. Green tunic, shoes and hat. The best detail to let people know I was bounding Little John was a money bag. We found these perfect purses on Amazon. I actually added jump rings, removed the strap and attached the purse to my belt to create a fanny pack of sorts. The belt is from Amazon as well.
The Blaster
There really wasn’t any special make-up or hair needed for this bound, but because it was Dapper Day, a red lip was the perfect finishing touch. My red lip is MAC in Ruby Woo.
I hope that our latest bounds got you inspired for Spring Dapper Day! Hope to see you there, and happy shopping!

Back to School Guide
As I take Benji to register for the 8th grade today, in addition to coming to grips with the fact that I have an 8th grader, I thought that I would post some great items for back to school. Click on the links to buy.
Backpacks
Benji’s favorite band is Panic! At the Disco, so I found a new Panic! backpack from Hot Topic. The Loki backpack is also from Hot Topic by Loungefly. Finally, love this new Cap backpack! Also from Hot Topic.
Woven Button Down Shirts
Benji loves to rock a good woven button down! Here are a few I found:
The Lion King and Nightmare Before Christmas shirts are from Box Lunch. The Harry Potter prisoner shirt is from Hot Topic.
Hoodie and Shoes
Her Universe just released a whole Harry Potter line that really knocked it out of the park! Most items are also available on Hot Topic’s and Torrid’s websites as well. The prisoner shirt above is also from this collection.
The hoodies are available for each house and…. WAND POCKET! Click here for shoes. Click here for hoodies.
Dresses
Last, but certainly not least, are the dresses.
The Harry Potter dress is available at Her Universe and Hot Topic. Same for the Spiderman dress. The plaid dress is from Hot Topic as an online exclusive.
Happy Shopping and have a great new school year!
Love, Kim and Benji
Outfit of the Day: Spiderman Dress by Her Universe
Our latest outfit of the day is a great Spiderman dress by Her Universe. This dress sports a great comic book print all over, with red accents.
The dress is available in standard and plus sizes. I am wearing a standard 3xl.
I added a belt accent. Belt available at Target. Boots also available on Target. Click on the links to buy.
Happy Shopping!

Captain Marvel Cosplay
I recently received my new Captain Marvel cosplay from Sim Cosplay. I spent the extra money for a custom fit, and I’m so glad I did. It is a bit roomy in places, but better too big than too small. All the pieces, including the boots, are included. The quality is great, so I highly recommend working with them when you want to build a new cosplay. Click here for their website.
I’ll do a photoshoot when the heat dies down a bit, as this cosplay is warm to say the least, but until then, enjoy these quick pics!

Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
We recently got a coveted reservation for Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. We had a great time, and when you can, I highly recommend taking a trip there.
Here are some pics from the day. Enjoy!
Before you ride the Smuggler’s Run ride, you get to enter the Falcon, which was a dream-come-true for these nerds.
We did get a reservation time to build our own lightsabers, which was a great experience.
We sampled blue milk, which is delicious…
We finished our trip to Batuu with some shopping. I got this adorable Lando doll!
Literally could not stop taking pictures of the Falcon…
We finished our trip the next day by going to Disney’s California Adventure. We got lucky and got into a character brunch and met Spidey!
Until next time…
