Help Nerd Burger Get Tattooed-A-Thon

 Since I was a little girl I always dreamed of having a Disney tattoo sleeve. For years I collected books, watched movies and researched to make sure my sleeve would be original and contain only the characters that I loved the most. 

 I still remember the first time I saw Ariel take her first steps on land, cry as Bambi lost his mother and watch Gaston swallow eggs like candy. It captured my dreams of finding my prince, living life to the fullest and most of all knowing if you wish upon a star your dreams come true.

Nearly two years ago I finally began my dream and started my Disney sleeve.

For the first time ever on my blog I thought I would show you the humble beginnings to a huge piece of art. The truth is I need your help. Years have passed and I am still no where near finished. I moved to Melbourne over 8 hours away from my tattoo artist. I ran out of money and things are falling way behind. I have finally booked a 6 hour session back home. 6 hours that I can not afford at nearly $1000AUS but I need to get this finished for my own sanity.

 How can you help? Well nerds all I am asking you to do over the next two weeks is simply buy something from the Nerd Burger Store. It's that simple. Just think your $10 could pay for Gaston's amazing smile or Peter pan's flight. 

I am also excited as an extra incentive to every purchase over $20 (Not including postage) a free lucky dip ring, ribbon hair bow, necklace or earrings. Who knows what rad gift you'll receive, but they are all handmade by me. It's my little way to say thank you for helping me reach my dream.

If you think you can help please head over to

 Tattoos are not for every one, but to me they are who I am. They are not ink on skin, but visual reminders of important times in my life and things that mean the world to me. To have my Disney sleeve finished will mean I finally look like the Cazz I'm meant to be. 

Comic Book Roundup May 2013

Another month has passed and It's time again for Comic Book Roundup.
This month I was even more excited then usual as two of my all time favourite comic book writers Jeffrey Brown and Lucy Knisley released new books. *Swoon* 

I have really been enjoying making YouTube videos. It is so much work and I have to really knuckle down to write them, but It is really paying off. Hearing that you guys are buying the comic books I recommend really makes my day. All I wanted to do with these videos is get people to read comics that maybe have never even thought about it.
All my videos are currently about comic books and I was wondering. Is there anything you guys would like me to film about other then comics?

Evil Dead 2013

To say that the hubbie and I are fans of the original Evil Dead from 1981 would be an understatement. This film had been a part of our whole lives. It was the first movie Liam and I ever got excited about. Evil Dead has been a constant reminder that you can get perfection and it comes in the form of Bruce Campbell playing Ashley J Williams. This photo is of our Bruce Campbell collection. It sits lit magically in our living room.

When we first heard years ago that a remake was being made we were terrified. No one could fill Bruce's shoes, better yet who would want to try? I was plesently surprised to hear that this was not a remake but a re-imaging of the original film idea. Same premise. Evil book of dead gets read, evil is unleashed, dismember all to kill the evil.

On the morning of it's release we arrived 3 hours early and sat calming ourselves for what the future would hold. Would it be crushing dissapointment or overwhelming joy as all our hopes were realised on screen.

The film begins with a modernized tale of a girl suffering a drug addiction. Her friends take her to her family's cabin deep in the woods for a detox and agree under no circumstances to let her leave, no matter how hard things get. Bad Idea.
Let me begin by saying the special effects in this film are mind blowing. They show every piece of the gory action, never cutting away. Every poke, cut and stab. How the team managed to make each look so real astounds me.

 I love the story as a whole. Seeing a chick with such power fight madness with madness as she spirals down throughout her addiction and personal demon. In a way the demon possession could be the demon inside her, so this film cuts a little deeper then your average horror romp.
For Evil Dead fans like me the film pays homage to the original film with the set and some circumstances like the possessed being locked underneath a cellar hatch and severing possessed hands. But these references are never over the top or seem odd to those who do not know the original.
And the acting, my goodness. Jane Levy as Mia is so relatable on so many levels yet can terrify you to your very core. The entire cast is brilliant and play their characters with so much honesty.

If you have not seen the new Evil Dead I think you better head to the cinema now to see the best horror film that has come out in years. If you have not seen the original Evil Dead with the beautiful Bruce Campbell then I don't think we can be friends.
