Buffy is back and she's in town! For only a limited time! Oops. I mean Sarah Michelle Gellar and her duo identity characters- Siobhan and Bridget on CW's new show, Ringer, which I reviewed weeks ago here: http://sugarygingersnap.blogspot.com/2011/10/double-troubled-ringer-review.html Still giving it a chance. Though I must admit, I'm two episodes behind (still missing the talented, curvaceous Gemma *insert sniffle*) on the twisted yet utterly predictable drama. Strolling through Dayton, seeing larger than life Ringer ads on Smithville (near home) and on Wayne Ave and Main Streets (both downtown) would give "Big Head Portrait" a run for her money! Also, I kept thinking about Buffy. Did the Slayer have this many billboards in our town? Was her presence graced with stakes and crosses telling us to WB? I miss that show so much. Damn. Seem to be missing a lot of things. When will they ever perfect the time machine? Need to transport to about thirteen years ago. The Buf...

Emmy winning, Golden Globe nominated, Sarah Michelle Gellar is one hell of an actress. At least I think so. Since the days of short-lived teen soap opera, Swan’s Crossing , I’ve been an avid fan of hers. Followed her other television appearances- another soap All My Children and the very addictive, kick butt addiction of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . Watched her somewhat mediocre films, Simply Irresistible, Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2, The Grudge, The Return (ugh! Not her best!) and a slew of unreleased material. Now after a long hiatus, she’s returned to the small screen. Most welcomed her with opened arms and excitement.... Cruel Intentions meets Buffy eh? Six episodes into Ringer , I cannot stop wincing and will likely age about ten years before the season is over. That is, if I'm still watching! While I do congratulate Gellar’s new show on its recently announced full season expansion, I won’t be so quick on cutting the celebratory cake and lick...

It's always such a blast seeing various people decked out in fabulous superhero/villain costumes. I try taking as many pics as possible posing with them or getting solo shots of creativity at work. Sure they say that comic books are just for the nerds, but rest assure every one of every creed and station gets a kick out of letting their inner child come out. Dressing up isn't just for Halloween anymore! The Costumes I have no idea what this person was supposed to be (they didn't either!), if they were male or female (they refused to speak!) but giraffes rule & should be in the comic books fighting crime (giant evil Panda Bears?), I suppose! Rogue & I are the untouchable, unstoppable kind of women! I commend her costume, I really do. Much, much better than that atrocity X-Men put together for Anna Paquin. A babe amongst babes, hahaha! Though I could use work. Wonder Woman & unidentified black leotard chick were definitely sweet crime fighters & I was greatly ...

Tien and I am gearing up for Wizard World this weekend. I must say that I am so excited about the line-up. There's famed artists like Mark Millar who is creator of the hit comic, Image's Kick Ass and also writes for Marvel's Fantastic Four , . Celebs that are showing up are Michelle Rodriguez, the girl that kicks butt in the Fast and the Furious , Gary Coleman (I am at a loss of words right now), Lou Ferringo (the original Incredible Hulk ), Margot Kidder ("Lois Lane" with Christopher Reeves as "Clark Kent" in the classic Superman movies), Todd Bridges, Billy Dee Williams, Doug Jones (that scary one eyed Cyclops in Pan's Labyrinth that gave me the heebie jeebies), and a host of other names. I must say that I am very, very excited for this year. But being a big Buffy, the Vampire Slayer fan and an avid collector of all things Slayer, I am so happy to see that Emma Caulfield will be gracing Chicago with her presence. I don't know what she's ...
