Happy Birthday Cluedog!
Today is artist Cluedog’s birthday! I had previously commissioned her to do a gender bent illustration of myself, mermaid incarnation of her, 3 images of my OC Mermaid Flounder, as well as an image of Elisa Maza as a gargoyle, which can be found below.
I previously interviewed her here, showcased some of her NSFW mermaid art, and I just over all love her illustrations… I mean, just look at some of these!

I am 33 years old today
I am 33 today, and there is nothing that I can do about that. What I can do though is post about the things from the past that make me happy. Seeing as how I’m sort of lazy and it is… you know, MY BIRTHDAY, a lot of this stuff might be pictures.
I think one of the problems I have, and this isn’t just on my birthday but every day, is that I will never be as boss as The Megazord wearing the Dragonzord as a mother effing coat. Seriously, Dragon Caesar makes a cool hoodie thing. First you defeat it, then you befriend it, then you get most of yourself inside it as if it is wearing you… and before you know it, that mo fo is your coat. Nothing I will get or do on this day will top that… and it makes me so sad.
I’m going back to Japan in August for a trip. Okay, I’m just rambling at this point. I’m scared of the future. I thought I found a girl who I could one day marry, but… *sigh* she got back together with me for a few days, went on one more date with me, strung me along that day while I was at work via messenger, and that next day dumped me. Again. She did this after all of the hearts and X’s and O’s in the message. I guess you can never really know someone.
She broke up with me because I’m not active, and I’m not career oriented. I took a week off from work just to be introspective and think about my life while on my vacation. *sigh* mistakes might have been made, right?
I’ll survive, as I always do. It sucks that she broke up with me on Valentine’s Day while I was stuck working in the Valentine’s Day tent… but you know… things are what they are.
So, to cheer myself up… here are some random images?
And now… one of the most over covered songs ever
Now I’m a little bummed out again. Well… Lucky Charms is replacing hourglasses with unicorns. That is something to look forward to… right? Might eat a bowl alone while watching The Last Unicorn.
So there I was, at a Party City, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I spot a section that is devoted to Mermaid themed parties for little girls… as well as, weirdly enough, kitty themed parties.
Are there parents/kids that are having serious debates on if they want a nautical/mermaid themed birthday or one with cats? Whatever.
I then saw this… which is clearly a take on pin the tail on the donkey, but with mermaids and sea horses?
I personally feel weird about this one. Why is it sea horses, and why are they being stuck on the mermaid? True, it’s not as bad as say… a fisherman’s hook or net… but shouldn’t it be having to stick legs on her tail? Or shouldn’t it be having to stick mermaids onto Prince Eric?
Anyways, so what do they aim for? The end of her tail? or maybe different sections get different points? It’s weird. We all know where a tail would go on Eeyore. Maybe this game should have been put a mermaid tail on a human girl?
I’m not sure… needless to say… I was amused by this. Seriously though… Kitty party vs. Mermaid? Maybe that should be a whole thing? Happy Mer-Monday Everyone!
But it’s my birthday!
Once again, I survived another full year since I’ve been born! Suck it fate! Seeing as it’s my birthday, and a useless Sunday, I figured that I might as well post random stuff today… because I can.
I mean… it’s my BIRTHDAY… right?
See?! There was no reason to post this very old image of The Pose Off from back in the old days. Do you know why I did it though? Because I could.
When we get older, I think it is common to use the anniversary of our birth’s to remember days gone by. First times, last times, and more importantly… special times.
I just got back from a trip to Rhode Island to visit an online friend. this was a first time for me and that was special too. Today at lunch I ate a pickle in a hamburger that my mother couldn’t finish. That’s hopefully the last time I’ve been given the pickle.
See? I’m just randomly plucking out photos from past articles with no context of why I posted them in the first place. Below are a few more of my favorites for no particular reason.
We all have a lot of regrets in life. One of the biggest ones is typically not doing something. I feel like we owe it to ourselves to fill the short time that we have with as many wild and crazy things/experiences as possible. Go hug an online friend, cosplay for the first time, embrace some weird interest that you are passionate about.
We were born and we will die. Make the best of your time everyone. Be good to everyone, while we are here. See you on Mer-Monday tomorrow! Here’s a sneak peak!
I’m 31 today.
Whatever! Whatever! I do what I want! I’ve turned 31 and I’m balling out of control! I missed Mer-Monday this week? Screw it! Posting a random pic I fount on pinterest of a Mermaid being swept up by a centaur.
Why? Because. I. Can!
I play by my own rules around here on my birthday! yEP? Made that last sentence my bi…… err, I actually don’t like cursing too much.
Now that I have all of that craziness out of my life, here is a depressing reminder about being 31.
I’m on a boat
It’s my birthday weekend, and thus.. cruise! Celebrating my 30th on the 26th… Later kids!
A Mario is always welcome?
A close friend of mine had her birthday on August 30th, and to celebrate she had her birthday at the bar Howl at The Moon in Houston, Tx. Due to that day being International Cosplay Day, it was a costumed birthday party for her. At a bar. The double whammy of Birthday + International Cosplay Day made me dress up as Mario, as seen from a friend’s photo to the left. I chose this, because I still owned most of the costume from a previous time, needing just the hat and gloves that I ended up buying at Party City and 99 cents only store. Turns out a dude there saw me at Howl at The Moon! What a small and drunken world!
When we all arrived, The Birthday Girl™ and her female friends dressed up as the following: Sherlock, another in Kigurumi, one as Daken(Wolverine’s son), and one was dressed from Doctor Who, while the male veteran cosplayers abstained.
Fun was had, and after we found a menu for local pizzeria, Gotham Pizza, we ended up gathering $6 for them to put the phrase “I’m Batman” on the mirror behind the band, making that my first ever successful crowd funding attempt.
When it came time to turn in the info and money to the band, which was my idea, we ended up getting The Birthday Girl™ to do it, as I knew that if I got close to the stage, my loud(est) costume would garner attention. Cosplay is fun, but I thought the costumes were going to be sillier.
I forgot about the “I’m Batman” idea, and enjoyed the music and conversations until a band member said the following on the mic:
‘There is someone tonight that I’ve noticed in the audience the entire night, and as soon as I play the next couple of notes…”
Awe crap. I knew where this was going.
“… he’s going to immediately know…”
I knew the moment the sentence started!
“Who he is.”
The first three or five seconds from Super Mario Bros. world 1-1 started playing, and I was basically forced into the spotlight in front of the stage. I of course, being a good sport, ran up there to do some Mario poses, such as running and jumping with my fist in the air! Yay, right?
They then also put on the mirror right after words “I’m Batman” the word I was too chicken to go up there and pay to have up there moments ago. Awesome.
Most of the evening was then dancing with my friends, and being torn away for photos with women who were getting much drunker as the evening went by. Every so often, we would go out to the dance floor, dance to an awesome song or three, and then go back. Then, after a drunk Hispanic gentleman got me to pose with his wife, who he later pretty much kept explaining how beautiful she was, and possibly offering to me(?), I noticed that my friends were all back at the table. I was out there in the wild.
I was dancing with other women who happened to have their birthday that night, and it was a ton of fun. What wasn’t fun was the creepy frat-like dude that kept hanging around and later wanted to wear my hat to have a picture with it on. Apparently there was a dare or a bet or something. It took him forever to realize that I wasn’t cool with him wearing my new hat. kind of a pet peeve of mine, considering what has happened with a Poison Mushroom cosplay years ago.
BTW: It turns out that I can’t dance to latin music. Even ‘The Macarena’ required a refresher course.
Drunk dude’s girl, who it might have been her birthday, came over to us saying how awesome are costumes were, and then she wanted to take a picture with my hat on. Cause she’s got boobs I guess?
Things were over all okay, except for the drunk woman who bought one of The Birthday Girl™‘s 3 reserved tables off of us. She was older, drunker, and falling down. I think it was a younger friends bachelorette party, as there was a woman in raver gear and a light up… penis pacifier necklace… thing? Very mature.
She eventually felt me up, once by accident, a second time on purpose, and almost pulled Sherlock’s Birthday Girl™ wig off, as she discovered that she was, in fact, a girl.
Despite old, drunk, and falling, I had a ton of fun at Birthday Girl™’s party. It’s unfortunate that I can’t find any pictures of us yet, as we were literally dragged half way across the bar to take some photos with us.
Perhaps I should make my Mario costume more elaborate and wear it to a convention? Maybe I should go to Howl at The Moon for my birthday in February, and let Ojy former Birthday Girl™ be Mario instead? I dunno if I’d be okay with someone else being the bell of the ball though….
Oh well, we will see what happens, when it happens.
Today is my Birthday
Seeing as it’s my birthday, I can do whatever I want on my blog, including post pictures of two of the most famous monsters in film history. Sadly, it just makes me want to play Darkstalkers though. Anyways, I’ve always been a firm believer that if you aren’t willing to celebrate yourself, than you can’t expect others too. Expect a couple of entries from me today on whatever I want.
