1. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Not the cartoon from the 80’s, the reboot created by Noelle Stevenson. Gone are the clunky predictable He-Man spin-off cookie cutter stories. Instead, we get a full ensemble of women. Not since Orange is the New Black have I seen this many female characters that all feel and look DIFFERENT from each other. The show does not rely on stereotypes, in fact shattering so many. For a show that has a lot of fun transforming Adora into She-ra, it has equal parts depth of story and character arc. Add to that, a precisely planned 5 seasons that fit together like puzzle pieces and build off each other. If only Noelle Stevenson could build a time machine and sit down with the writers of Lost.

The Humor in Infomercials
It was late at night. I couldn't sleep. So, I decided to watch television. I must've flicked through more than one hundred channels and found nothing. So, I back track down the dial and realized that most of what was on were infomercials! Infomercials everywhere! It was like a Hitchcockian film! I was swarmed with ads for things that I am not even sure if they are real.

Introduction Time!
Hello out there! My name is Jessica, but you can call me Jess. Hmm, where should I begin? I suppose I should start by saying I'm a bit of a mess and well, a lot weird. I'm a creativity junkie, I love anything to do with making art. Drawing, sewing, sculpting and all that fun stuff. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but around high school I discovered this completely amazing thing called anime. And what does that have to do with all this? One word, cosplay. I have a major obsession with both anime and cosplay.
