The Life of a Fangirl Podcast

Why yes, we are talking Disney. Again. And you know you love it too! The Disney Parks are extra EXTRA when it comes to Halloween and this year is no different. From the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland (new this year and, dare I say, killing it on the West coast?) to new Halloween fireworks show at Walt Disney World you really need to experience this at least once. Or as many times as you can, if y...

**In honor of the Emmy's tomorrow, I'm re-sharing the fabulous Schitt's Creek fangirl episode.** Schitt's Creek just nabbed 4 Emmy nominations. And I feel that needs to be celebrated.

Sometimes I don't listen to the people around me who tell me about awesome things. And Downton Abbey was one of those times. 6 seasons worth of "eww, PBS!" pretty much came out of my mouth. Dear PBS, I apologize for my shortcomings! Tania from Lolalambchops.com is back and as she quickly points out- she totally TOLD ME over and over (and over) again to watch the show. So, yes, I'm the worst and to...

So much to unpack from Day 2 of the D23 Expo where we talk all the movies coming from LucasFilm, Marvel Studios, Walt Disney Studios, Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios.

And I went back to my fangirling...

If there's something you know about fangirls, it's that we like to wear our fandom on our sleeves.  Or in our wigs and costumes.  Cosplaying and Disneybounding are fun aspects of being a fangirl- and one area of fandom that can't be overlooked!

I'm a Gen Xer which means I was raised on Dylan and Brandon and the whole 90210 gang.
