Ah, September 1st! Practically a holiday in and of itself to the Potterhead community (yours truly, included). Who hasn’t fantasized about taking the trip to Kings Cross, slipping through the barrier to Platform 9 and ¾? Or dreamed of taking in the majestic scarlet steam engine that is the Hogwarts Express billowing great clouds of smoke as it readies itself to chug across the green pastures and misty moors of the English countryside to Hogwarts Castle perched deep in the highlands of Scotland.
As if 2020 wasn’t hard enough, in the last month of the year My Favorite Murder host Georgia Hardstark dropped some heartbreaking news. Elvis, her cookie-loving Siamese cat passed away. Well known for regularly guest “starring” on the podcast, this 16-year-old feline quickly became one of the most beloved cat celebrities among the likes of Hamilton the Hipster Cat, Lil’ Bub, and of course (the now also deceased) Grumpy Cat.
Happy New Year, geeky lovelies!
As promised we’re back with the Sartorial Geek of the Week. We are so excited to ring in the new year by getting back to showcasing all of your creativity, passion, and fandom-fueled brilliance!
It’s been a minute since our last Sartorial Geek of the Week spotlight (ICYMI: she’s one of our favorite Ravenclaws, The Yellow Squib). We promise we haven’t forgotten about showcasing you and all of your fandom flaunting, iconic cosplaying, and geeky goddess glory!
This week’s Sartorial Geek of the Week is the introspective, outspoken, and indefatigable The Yellow Squib! Aivi, the squib behind the account, is an artist, activist, research scientist, and neuropathologist. In other words, she’s as Ravenclaw as they come!
This week’s Sartorial Geek of the Week is Colorado-based freelance illustrator and activist Sydney Dean! Sydney shares her magical creations online under the name Syd Sketch.
This week’s Sartorial Geek of the Week is the brilliant Connie, or ConStar24 as she goes by online—a writer, editor, photographer, and activist.
An unstoppable force of creativity, action, and some seriously fierce fashion, Connie is taking the social activism-scape by storm. Connie balances writing, editing, and mentorship at the world-renowned magazine, Time For Kids, with a bookstagram account praising diversity in children’s books, AND a position as Managing Editor at Black Girls Create!
This week we hop onto the Hogwarts Express to get to know the radiant Ravenclaw, cosplayer, and magical lifestyle blogger Simply Potter Girl!
This week we are so excited to introduce you to blogger, artist, and mental health advocate Weird Louise, aka Angela.
Based in Russia, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them superfan Katya has been cosplaying for 3 years.
