Coming Soon: 100+ Episodes of Sailor Moon for Free

Anytime someone asks me what my favorite show was growing up, I always declare “Sailor Moon” without any hesitation. How could you not love smart, stylish young women that were living ordinary lives and fighting crime on the side? There were also five of them, which meant that you didn’t have to always identify with the lead Serena. You could feel like you were actually a Raye, Lita, or Amy. I was a hardcore fan as a child so hearing the news that all episodes would be released onto YouTube for free starting April 24th was the quarantine news I needed. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to binge as they’ll be released in batches until July 23rd.

Skechers x Sailor Moon

Never in my wildest dreams could I ever really imagine Sailor Moon doing a collab with anyone. I know that’s silly to think of because the 90’s are truly making a comeback right now, but it’s amazing to see them partnering with a brand like Skechers. Even if you can’t be your favorite Sailor Scout in real life, you can, at the very least, represent one. Set to their D’Lites Airy 2.0 Silhouette, each one is fitted and colored to highlight a different Sailor Moon character.

While the color schemes may vary depending on the Sailor Scout, each will come with a wide satin ribbon lacing and their respective planetary symbol. At the moment, the shoes are only available in Singapore’s Skechers concept stores.

The Weekend: Lots of Things!

It’s been two weeks since we’ve had one of these posts and so much has happened! I didn’t have time to post last weekend’s highlights so I’m combining it with this lovely holiday weekend. Some of my best girl friends from Seattle flew to see Ash and I for the long weekend and like any vacation we jam packed our days from start to finish. It’s interesting how the trips you plan when you are out of college and “more of an adult” shift from the vacation breaks you had when you were in school. Instead of traveling to cities where you plan on drinking constantly and sleeping in because of your hangovers, you’re waking up at 8:00 and getting your morning started. (Sort of like how the five of us would any day!) Instead of drinking, we put our money towards amazing meals and instead of going to bars, we went wine tasting in Sonoma. So there.

– also don’t those fireworks look great?! They went off Wednesday evening in San Francisco after the Giant’s game and they looked a whole lot better than the ones we tried to watch on 4th of July from this view.

I did my first hike with some co-workers at Rancho San Antonio Open Space last weekend! There really are some gorgeous views here in the Bay Area.

On Sunday afternoon, we caught a free concert from Yuna and Allen Stone at Stern Grove. We had never been over to this area before, but we loved how it was just kind of hidden in this park and large enough to hold a concert and fit THIS many people. It’s definitely one of the prettiest venues I’ve ever been to.

We’ve been watching episodes of this on Netflix.

We got athletic and competitive during our pre 4th of July company picnic with Bubble Soccer.

Happy 4th from the Seattle gang!

Visiting our Ash at Stanford

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Animated Characters Transformed Into NYFW Attendees

New York Fashion Week has completely taken over my Instagram and Twitter feeds! One of the best things to come across while blogging this week though is these animated characters from our childhood transformed into New York Fashion Week attendees. Sailor Moon is working Rodarte. We wish we came up with the idea of her being the best face for the brand first!

– The Batman Beyond series will be released on DVD. It will include all 52 episodes and bonus features. This used to be my favorite – next to Sailor Moon of course. [Source]

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have a supposed sex tape and Spencer is threatening to release it. Shocked? Not really. Publicity stunt? Probably. [Source]

Halle Berry’s daughter Nahla thinks that her mom’s name is “Halle Blueberries.” Cute. [Source]

Cheryl Cole will officially be divorced from husband Ashley Cole this October. [Source]

The Social Network receives it’s first review and it’s…good? [Source]

Sufjan Stevens released their new EP today “All Delighted People.” Purchase a copy of it here for $5.

– Even though I posted the photo shoot of the cast of The Romantics modeling J. Crew a couple of months ago here it is somehow making the news once again. Here’s a solo shot of Adam Brody – just because.

Megan Fox is running out of clothes to wear – opts for stepson’s shirts. [Source]

“Today’s NY Post says I was spotted in NYC dining with Maury Povich and Connie Chung. Whoever’s impersonating me–aim higher.”– Conan O’Brien, setting the record straight on Twitter

The above video contains NSFW language so you might want to use headphones. The viral marketing team for the new film The Last Exorcism have decided to use good ol’ Chat Roulette as one of their outlets. Watch the video for reactions. Oh teenage boys… guess they’re getting what they deserve for creeping on girls.

In Seattle news…

Cupcake Royale is opening up a new shop in Bellevue! [Source]

Lady Gaga will be here TONIGHT. I’m sure the show will be a life-changing event for fans. However, the organizers have sent out a press release regarding costumes. You are welcome to dress up, but you must not have anything that looks like a weapon even if it is part of the costume. If you would like to use aluminum cans, they must be empty. Sounds simple enough. [Source]

Snuggies For the Win

Unlike Twilight, I actually don’t mind hearing about the Snuggie. Especially when they come in THIS form. I’ve heard that these are being sold at Hot Topic, so Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans you better jump on this quick! They’re only $28 and you can buy them online as well.

Seeing this brings me great hope. If they can make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Snuggies, they are one step closer to Sailor Moon Snuggies. Can ya dig it?

Get the eyes of an anime character

Many people love all things anime, the hit animations created in Japan. Known for their large eyes, pointy faces, and limbs longer than life. There’s plenty of anime merchandise to be found, from costumes to figurines to a whole anime bedding set with one’s favourite character on it. More and more, people are wanting to be closer to their favourite animes than before. Many ask for anime gifts for their birthdays and Christmas, and some even go as far as wanting to dress as their favorite characters to fully live their fantasies. And Geo lenses have made that dream one step closer to reality.

GEO lenses has recently created extra-wide contact lenses that are designed to give you the appearance of an anime character. Only now can you achieve the appearance of somebody from a cartoonporno hentai movie. As for the lenses though, not only are they tinted unnatural colours but they also are heavily tinted beyond the normal rim of your eye. Some of the lenses also feature very unnatural iris formations, such as the Sharingan from the popular anime Naruto. Or spiraling “hypno eyes” that one might see in a animehentaivideos.xxx animation, where – as the name suggests – one is hypnotised under a spell.

All in all, these lenses could easily creep out someone who does not understand anime very quickly. And to some anime fans, it may creep them out regardless. The uncanny valley is quite real and may be a hurdle that Geo lenses has to work around if their new product is to become a hit. Just because someone wearing these contacts would be reminiscent of someone straight out of Pokemon or Sailor Moon , perhaps we are not quite ready for that just yet. It may be some time before we are prepared to encounter a “Misty” or “Sasuke” fan down the street.
