"Poppies... Poppies!"

In The Wizard of Oz (one of my least favorite musicals), the Wicked Witch of the West uses poppies to put Dorothy & co. to sleep.  As a kid, I didn't really think much of it, but as an adult I know that opium poppies are a thing.  I'm no botanist, but I've read a little bit about poppies.  As I understand it, the opiate properties of the latex that comes from the poppy seed pods will induce sleep, and opium and poppy straw are the primary source for all opiates... that's the primary reason that poppies, as a symbol, are associated with sleep.  So when you're admiring the common garden poppy, being awed by the majesty of nature, keep in mind that someone, somewhere, is making morphine with it.  If that doesn't make you feel good (and a little itchy), I don't know what will.

Vigilante Fashionista's Geeks & Nerds Dress

The Sexy Nerd Hunt is on!  With loads of nerdy goodness, how can you possibly plan to skip it?  Naturally, I was all over Vigilante Fashionista's offering - the Geeks & Nerds Dress.  The back is totally adorable, and the little hood says geeks and nerds!

Naturally, I was into the idea of the sexy nerd hunt.  The offerings are kind of nerdy and kind of geeky, and they're all pretty neat. You might be wondering what the difference between a nerd and a geek is, because some people use them interchangeably.  While it's true that a nerd can be a geek and vice-versa, nerdery and geekdom are different beasts. 

Nerds are marked by intelligence.  Geeks are marked by interest.  Nerds understand the way things work, and if they don't understand something they're interested in, they frequently make an effort to learn it.  Geeks are viewed as being interested in things that most people aren't into, and geeks often know a lot about their interests.  Let's try using those definitions with computers.  Computer nerds might know everything about how their computers work from the ground up.  Computer geeks probably love computers, use them a lot, and maybe even know obscure trivia about computers, but a computer geek (who isn't also a computer nerd) might not know a lot about how and why computers work, and might not be compelled to find out.

We typically associate geeks with fantasy, science fiction, and video games.  Nerds are more often related to computers, science, and math.  Really, though, you can be a geek about anything, and a nerd about anything.  For example, I'm a huge sociology nerd.  I'm also a textbook example of a geek.  There's definitely been a significant cultural shift in the past decade - instead of geeks and nerds being a few solitary losers in high school, the internet has made geekdom way more accessible, and it's responsible for bringing geek communities together despite great  distances between their members.  Being a geek or a nerd isn't as lonely in 2013 as it was in 1983!

Join the ranks of geeks and nerds completing the Sexy Nerd Hunt and be sure to stop by Vigilante Fashionista for this adorkable dress!

Revenge of the Snuggy - Vigilante Fashionista's Ultimate Kawaii Outfit

When the Snuggie hit the height of its popularity, you either thought it was awesome or you thought it was absurd.  (And some of you thought it was awesome because it was absurd.)  I thought it was pretty silly, myself.  "It's just a backwards robe," I thought, "and I have robes I can wear backwards!"  It wasn't until this year when I actually tried to wear a robe backwards that I realized the merits of the sleeved blanket.  Wearing your robe backwards is uncomfortable, guys.

So why am I talking about Snuggies? Because I'm wearing one!  Well, not a branded Snuggie.  It's Vigilante Fashionista's Ultimate Kawaii Snuggy!  It's covered in adorable cartoon characters, and the outfit also comes with these beautiful blue tights with little bows on them!  These are definitely the cutest articles of clothing in my wardrobe, so I donned my most adorable hair and snuggled up for a photo session.

How freakin' adorable am I?  SUPER FREAKIN' ADORABLE.

So how can you get this absolutely precious ensemble?  Participate in The Ultimate Kawaii Hunt!  1L$ per item (so you'll need 51L$ if you find all the prizes!) and it ends June 15th!  Just look for the popsicle!  And once you get your snuggy, if you want to have a pajama party, you know where to find me.

Vigilante Fashionista's The Wandering Eye for the Eye See You Hunt!

The Eye See You Hunt is almost over, so if you want to join you'd better do it quickly!  The hunt will be over on June 4th, and this is Vigilante Fashionista's beautiful contribution.  The Wandering Eye is a gorgeous outfit that consists of pants, a top, and a mesh bolero jacket  The design on the front of the top appears to be the Eye of Providence - the all-seeing eye.  Coincidence?  Of course not, this was made for the hunt!

I love the deep crimson color of the jacket.  The pants look phenomenal, and while you can't see it well in the photo above, the waist of the pants is a dark sash with two buttons.  You can see a picture of the details below.  The Wandering Eye is has an air of mystery that I find myself inexplicably drawn to.

Remember folks, it's the very last day of this hunt, so you'd better hustle if you want to catch this outfit before it's gone, and I promise that you do.
