Blogs That I Love: Final Girl

Since I haven't really had much to update about at the moment (I have called that place I was interviewed at, but since they're prepping for a convention I'll have to wait until they get a chance to breathe), I decided to actually do some writing. Thus, welcome to the first of possibly many entries: the "__ That I Love" series! It can be anything, from food, video games, websites, clothes, whatever comes to my mind. Today I thought I bring up blogs, and here's one that I just can't get enough of: Final Girl!

Final Girl is a blog dedicated to all things horror, ran by the witty and hilarious Stacie Ponder, a comic book inker and contributor for the spooky section of AMC's website. Stacie does reviews of scary movies on her blog, but while she does bring up the big-name horror (like Friday the 13th or Texas Chainsaw Massacre), she mostly focuses on the lesser-known horror that you find on VHS at your local record store for a quarter. Her reviews are hilarious and very entertaining, even for really awful flicks like Don't Go Into the Woods... Alone! (I kid you not, that's the real title; imdb it). Even if you're not a scary movie junkie like myself, you'll definitely find yourself digging through her blog to find more reviews due to her infectious humor and fantastic writing.

Speaking of movies, Miss Stacie is actually working on one herself! An independent horror short called Ludlow. She's really close to finishing it, but she actually needs a little help on special effects and making it nice and pretty. That's where you guys come in! Stop by her site and help a sistah (don't worry, I'll be using that word sparingly) out by dropping a couple bucks into the little Pay Pal coffee cup she's got. Hey, if you donate $10 you might even see your name in the credits and become famous (kinda)!

Final Girl can be found here: http://finalgirl.blogspot.com/

Stacie's official page is here: http://stacieponder.com/

Be sure to help make Ludlow a reality by donating! And be sure to tell her who sent you. ;)

BIG BLOG UPDATE!

Hey everyone! I know I disappeared again, but I'm back and this time I decided to update my blog with some new features!

  • Whenever I update my Flickr account, now you guys get to see what I've added to my portfolio! To the left you can click on any of the thumbnails to view my latest artwork. There's also a link below the thumbnails so you can check out my whole gallery!

  • Curious as to who I'm following? You can take a look at the blogs I'm currently enjoying under "My Favorites". I promise that they'll be worth your time; be sure to tell them I sent you! =D

  • A PayPal button? I know I know, pretty shameless of me, but I just got out of college and the graphic designing and illustrating life style isn't as glamorous as it sounds (no, really!). If any of you guys enjoy the blog and have any spare change under the cushions or weighing your wallet down, I'd really appreciate it if you guys help me out. Think of the bunnyies.

I hope the new additions to this blog will help you guys enjoy it a lot more and make it easier for you to look around! I promise next time I'll give you guys another exciting update really soon. Thanks again for sticking around! ^_^
