HIYA!!!

Last week our Nimble Ninja friend, Blue, got himself into some trouble.  Luckily, this week, Purple came to his rescue and together they faced their foe!

*insert epic/heroic action movie music here*

HIYA!!

Yeah.  Toys.  Ninjas.  Gotta love ‘em.  d_[^_^]

Until next time…

Uh Oh, Blue!

Last week gave rise to what I plan to call my “Nimble Ninjas” series.  Catchy title, huh?  Yeah, I know.

Anyway, this week brings a new ninja, the Blue Ninja, who seems to have stumbled into a bit of an unpleasant situation.

Uh Oh!!

Blue Ninja In Trouble

Will Blue defeat his foe and live to Kung Fu fight another day?!  Tune in next week to find out!

Always remember to have fun, my friends!

Until next time…

Toys

Even though I’m one of those…you know…adults, I still like to play with toys now and then. Except, now, the only difference is, I take pictures of my escapades through toy land and call them “photo projects”. Well I’ve done a lot of “photo projects” and I have a lot of “photo projects” in mind for the future.

 

This doesn’t make me weird or childish. It makes me imaginative and epic! [-_^]

 

For example, my most recent trip to the beach yielded this (which I plan on making into a series)….

 

You’re welcome. d_[^_^]

Don’t be afraid to have fun, be silly, or to play with toys as an adult. Defy the norms! Especially when society tries to tell you that playing with toys is “inappropriate for someone your age.”

 

 

Until next time…

Fun With Action Figures!

Those who know me, know that I’m what you call a geek, or a nerd.  I read Manga, watch anime, play video games, and collect action figures (don’t call them toys, toys are for kids [-_^]).

It used to be that it wasn’t every day you came across a geeky/nerdy girl.  Now, we’re everywhere!  Mwa ha ha ha!  Eh…I mean…Huzzah!  Geeks unite!

Anyway, it’s not something we should have to hide.  If you like something, wear it on your sleeve (unless you’re into Twilight, keep that junk secret ‘cause it’s…well…junk).  I don’t hide my geekness from the world.  Obviously where I’m writing about it!  I can usually hold my own with the boys when it comes to conversations on things ranging from comic super heroes, to anime, to Dr. Who and beyond.

Why am I telling you this?  So glad you asked!  The weather is still being disagreeable so I’ve found myself stuck inside my house much longer than I hoped to be.  To make things worse, my little rose plant has stopped offering new buds.  I think I need to replant it in a bigger pot soon.  So where does this leave me when it comes to photography?  Stranded like every buxom blonde in every horror movie ever.

I was standing in my room recently, in a daze, wondering how I could fill the photographic void until I can once again get back out into the wilderness.  That was when I looked up on my bookshelf at some of my action figures.

We stared at each other, me and my action figures, for quite a while, as if to say, “Your move, tread carefully.”  [-_^]  Just kidding.  But I found myself thinking back to when I made a post about “Storm Troopers 365”, a year long photo series done by a creative photographer that used Star Wars Storm Trooper figures and other random toys.  I figured, I could find a way to use my action figures to make a simple, and maybe funny set up for a photo.

Voilá!

Lion-O vs. Sesshomaru

Now, as much as I love you and the ThunderCats, Lion-O, I really think Sesshomaru would take this one.

So, my friends and readers, don’t be afraid to let your geek flags fly!!

Until next time…
