I was in awe of Maleficent long before Angelina Jolie played the role, for which I think she did a great job. I always thought there was something special about her, but mostly I loved the fact that she was so evil and powerful. She was the kind of villain I wanted to create for one of my stories, and I believe I just might have.

When I saw Disney’s Sleeping Beauty as a child, I remember thinking that if that king hadn’t been so stupid as not to invite her, none of the curses and enchantments would have been necessary. For me, if I knew I had a crazy scary neighbor with known anger issues and I was planning a neighborhood party, I’d be a fool not to invite him. Now, I might take precautions to ensure the safety of others around me should things go wrong, but I wouldn’t ignore the guy. You know what they say, keep your enemies close…Now, I’m rambling.

Maleficent is a dynamic character that I’ll always love to hate or maybe just love, if Hollywood keeps up with the new Jolie take on this character.

Mira’s Closet: 05/18/15: First Impressions

MClosetMira’s no fashionista, but she definitely has her own sense of style…
And now here’s an update on just that.

First an observation: So this weekend was my first time vending at a Comicon. To say I was nervous would be an extreme understatement. I couldn’t eat anything but a handful of crackers until after the first 4 hours, but that was part geeking and part stressing. I wanted to make a good first impression for all the locals and out-of-towners attending the event and encountering me and my work for the first time. Not that any of this actually contributed to book sales, but I made a point to get my hair done, grow out my nails and paint them with clear polish, and wear angel apparel and accessories to match the theme of my book. I’m not a real girly girl, but I guess I felt pretty. I think I did make a good impression, but the whole time I was wishing that I was wearing a cape (I have three). If you’re interested, you can see what I was wearing here.

Now here are some style tips/clips from
Torimy own personal fashion guru, trainer, and my physical inspiration for Mira.

I hope you enjoyed this. Also check out Tori’s jewelry eBoutique: December 10.
