1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!
1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!

I don’t think I need to describe what Comic-Con is anymore or the fact that I am going next month, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. This week, some of the heavy hitters of the television world announced their presence at Comic-Con. Interested into who will be in attendance and holding panels? Check out this link for the schedule complete with date and times, but you can expect to see Big Bang Theory, Dexter, LOST, True Blood, Fringe, Eureka and the much-anticipated Flash Forward. The biggest disappointment and definitely not something to love this Friday is that Heroes will officially not be holding a panel this year. They will have “a presence” (whatever the hell that means) and with this presence apparently comes a sneak peek at Season 4. I’m super bummed because Heroes panels are known as being the best of the entire convention – I was really looking forward to participating in one. Oh well, let’s hope this presence is a damn powerful one, right Heroes fans? ;)

Featured: Gala Darling

Every now and then, I form a girl crush. The “I’d love to hang out with you 24/7, borrow your clothes, dance on beds and take over the world” kind of feeling. Well, I feel that way about Ms. Gala Darling. She is a wonderfully eccentric and fabulous New Zealander that has made New York City her playground. Her blog is full of daily inspiration when it comes to fashion, music and life in general. I love a lot of blogs, but this one just sucks me in. If you know me personally, you would agree that Gala or a very similar girl is nested somewhere inside of me. I would love to dye my hair neon pink, live in a fabulous city and maintain my wardrobe on only sequins & glitter. She lives her life the way I aim to live my own: to the fullest, without regrets. I basically love everything about her.

Happy Hump Day: Zachary Quinto

4216_82602698275_69478063275_1689941_2980401_nI’m sure all of you were expecting this to come sooner or later! I just couldn’t help myself and actually wanted to do it last week since it was his birthday last Tuesday, but the No Doubt concert got in the way (heh).  So better late than never, right?

Definitely one of the last people on Earth to watch Heroes (Augi & I started our marathons in October of last year), but I was instantly addicted. And especially so to Mr. Quinto who plays everyone’s favorite serial killer, Sylar. Oh yeah, and he’s also that Spock guy. I’ve already gushed about him before when I made my “top 10 men” list, so I won’t repeat it all over again…just know that he makes me swoon to an embarrassing degree. And my husband never lets me forget it ;)

Birthday Fashion Planning!

aaaaathrwyqaaaaaan0-cq

I can’t believe it, but next month we’ll already be heading to Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate our geekiness & my 2_ birthday! I remember when we first bought our tickets last year and how far away it seemed. Now it’s right around the corner!!

Besides all the fun we will be having in the actual convention with our favorite stars, I also plan on celebrating my birthday nightly (bwaha!). Augi and I are lucky enough to have 4 of our closest friends joining us on the trip and as if that wasn’t great as is, a bunch of my California dearies are also going to be meeting up with us to join in on the fun! Hopefully we’ll be hitting up some fun spots every night and I want to make sure I play the part of the birthday girl. This means only one thing: cute outfits!

Weekend Highlights

sat

The majority of the weekend was very quiet with the exception of Saturday. I started off my Saturday with a bit of work at the office and then came home to the total mayhem that is an I/A Collective photoshoot! This week’s model was our dear friend, Kavita, who wanted a Suicide Girls-esque shoot. We had a blast picking out her outfits, fighting with bondage tape and jumping on beds. Basically, just another day at la Casa Sanchez. I do remember some video footage of a certain someone jumping on our bed in a leather bodysuit & a red cape speaking of how she “uses her powers for good,” but unfortunately I was not the one filming. So you’ll just have to take my word that it was an epic afternoon.

Later that night, we finally visited Yard House, the new “in” place to be in Miami. It’s located in Merrick Park in Coral Gables and boasts to have the world’s largest selection of draft beer. I was definitely not disappointed. The food was great, the beer was even better (I picked up 2 Dead Guy Ale’s) and of course, spending time with our closest friends is always appreciated. The only downside to the entire experience was the long wait to sit at a table. We waited over an hour and that was only because my friends placed a “call in” beforehand. I’ve heard horror stories from others that they have waited 3 hours + to get seated. So word to the wise: get there before 7pm if you don’t want a wait of epic proportion!

Changes

Melificent has undergone a few changes over the weekend that you may want to check out!

1. I now have a contact page! Feel free to email me with any news,
suggestions, comments, free concert tickets or naked pictures of cute boys.

2. I have added an “about me” section to the blog. It’s short & sweet (like me!)
and includes a fantastic photo taken of me by my very talented hubby.

Happy Monday, everyone!

1. HBO's True Blood
1. HBO's True Blood

Again, late on this bandwagon, huh? Augi and I don’t have HBO, but we heard quite a lot about this series will the first season was airing last year. Everyone told us we would love it since we are both pretty big vampire fans so we made sure to kick it up to the top of our Netflix queue when Season 1 was released on DVD last week. We are hooked! The 3rd DVD just arrived last night and we are gobbling them up! I have to say I was kind of disappointed with the pilot, but the episodes have gotten progressively better and now there is no turning back! Right now I think I am in the massive minority when I say that I favor Sam over Bill?

No Doubt Concert

3596883212_26d2e81260-copy

I don’t even know where to begin with this review!!! It was easily one of the funnest (I know, not a word) nights I’ve had in a very very long time. I walked away to my car with two very aching feet and a big goofy smile on my face. I often feel like hitting the imaginary rewind button after shows, but this one definitely took the cake. I think I may even list it as my top concert of 2009 so far!

We got to the show early so that we could hang out with friends and tailgate a bit. We met some interesting characters, toasted under the Florida sun and drank entirely too much beer. While waiting outside, we were lucky enough to hear the band soundcheck a few songs such as Guns of Navarone, Rock Steady and New! I was thrilled! Shortly after, we went in to pick up our beautiful tour club tickets (along with other miscellaneous free goodies), checked out some merchandise and ate some grub before heading to our ridiculously awesome seats!

Rock Steady

1116

Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see No Doubt tomorrow, this closes out my concert season until October (when I’ll be seeing MUSE!) which makes my little musical heart very sad. And I want to give my sincerest apologies for the lack of cute boy today as it is Hump Day, but like I said – I’ve been playing catch up since returning from California and am still kind of settling back into the routine (regularly blogging being part of it). Hopefully I’ll be able to post a review on Thursday, but it will most likely be posted a little later than usual! And I promise I’ll be updating daily next week and have plenty of eye candy to share come next Hump Day. Deal? Deal.

So now to the show! No Doubt will be bringing their marvelousness to the Cruzan Amphitheater tonight in West Palm Beach, FL. I was lucky enough to score 10th row and center tickets so I am beyond stoked! Although I find Gwen’s solo records to be really fun, there is nothing like good old No Doubt to me. I’ve been a fan since I was 14 years old and this will be my second time seeing them live. The last time I saw them was probably about 7 years ago so this has been a long time coming! Best part? I get to share it with a No Doubt virgin: my husband! I love attending concerts with people that have never seen the band play – their reactions are always so amazing (well, when the band is amazing) & fun to watch. We’ll also be tailgating prior to the show so if you are going, join in on the pre-party ;)

ps; I better see some vintage Gwen push-ups tonight!
pps; Why are these adorable tees not available on the tour????

Back at Home!

I know I promised you guys pictures (& they are coming), but I am still trying to recover from our speedy California trip! I’ll say that it was great and made me want to move to the West Coast (as always), but I’m also really glad to be home! Unfortunately, I am really behind on household chores, school and work and those all take precedence over the bloggy blog right now so I’m going to have to put it on the back burner for today until I play some catch up!

However, I did catch the MTV Movie Awards last night and have to say that there were some pretty amazing moments. I’ll post more about those later, but I’ll leave you with something that made me genuinely fangirl: the New Moon trailer. Can I tell you how excited I am that they got Jacob’s transformation right? Because I literally jumped off the couch in excitement (& scared my friend & husband half to death). If you haven’t seen it or just want to see it again, here you go:
