Happy November! Of course I’m bummed that my favorite month is now over, but it looks and feels like fall in DC so I’m soaking up the season. I emptied quite a few products in October, so let’s get right to them.
1. RHAP Live in NYC: I had the pleasure of attending my fourth RHAP Live show last week! This was the third time I went to RHAP Live in NYC. If you’re a Survivor fan, you have to go to one of these events. You get to sit in a theater and watch the show with hundreds of other fans, then watch a live podcast hosted by Rob Cesternino as he discusses the episode with a rotating panel of former players. The after-party is also a blast. Five stars.
Happy fall, Happy OCTOBER…my favorite month!! I had quite a few empties in September, mostly skin care this time. Let’s get right to it.
It is wild to me that I’ve already completed ten whole years of 31 Days of Horror! I have a fairly busy October ahead but I’m still committed to 31 Days of Horror, which begins tomorrow.
1. RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq the World Live: I mentioned my obsession with Drag Race in my most recent Friday Five post. Awhile back, John discovered that the live tour featuring queens from the show was coming to DC, so we bought tickets. The show was this past weekend, and it was a total blast! We got to see Jimbo, Daya Betty, Kim Chi, Jorgeous, Vanessa Vanjie, and Jaida Essence Hall do their thing live. And they were all incredible! I would definitely try to buy closer seats next time…we were pretty far back, so I don’t have any good photos. This is kind of the best I can share:
Happy September! You know how excited I get when summer starts to fade into my favorite season. It’s the best feeling when the weather finally starts to cool down and Halloween stuff pops up in stores. It makes the PSL-loving basic bitch in me so happy.
I haven’t written a Friday Five post in forever, so I thought it was about time I did one! I probably won’t be doing these weekly again, but I do want to try to update a little more often here about what I’ve been up to.
1. RuPaul’s Drag Race: my latest TV obsession is this incredible reality competition show. Yes, I’m super late to the party (the show premiered in 2009). But I’ve finally caught up on all seasons of the flagship US version as well as the US All Stars seasons. The drag queens’ talent blows me away time and time again. Drag queens inherently need to possess a wide variety of talents: costuming, hair, makeup, dancing, acting, comedy. It’s so impressive. And the show is such a great example of why LGBTQIA+ representation matters. I believe that everyone should watch this show so they can learn to have empathy for folks who may be different from them…while enjoying a REALLY entertaining ride. 😛
It is wild to me that my 15th San Diego Comic-Con with John is already complete. I’m sad that it’s over, but we had a great time! So of course, I’m here to recap my experience. As with all of my travel posts, this will be a long one.
I recently returned from San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and I’ll be recapping that adventure here soon. In the meantime, let’s look at the beauty products that I emptied last month!
My fifteenth (!!!) consecutive San Diego Comic-Con is next week! Each year, I update this post with tips for SDCC newbies, based on my experience as an introvert who never cosplays and generally dislikes being around crowds but still manages to enjoy myself. If you can relate (and even if you can’t), I hope you find this post helpful!
Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend the SDCC Unofficial Blog—a VERY comprehensive resource that should be your go-to for questions about SDCC.
