LadyGhosts of TV Past: Firefly Episode 12, “The Message”

“What’d y’all order a dead guy for?” “The Message” has some wonderfully fun bits in it, but overall it’s kind of forgettable to me.  We start with Kaylee and Simon in an old-fashioned carnival sideshow tent, looking at “aliens,” which are really mutated cow fetuses.

LadyGhosts of TV Past: Firefly, “War Stories”

If I could, I would just post this whole episode here for you to re-watch it.  It’s just so good it hurts.

LadyGhosts of TV Past: Firefly, Episode 3

“Bushwhacked” is my least favorite episode, with my most favorite scene, from the whole series.  We learn more about the Reavers, which is important for the development of the story line, but the whole episode is just missing that spark that the others have.

Persephone Outfits for Our Favorite Ladyghosts

Selena’s use of backgrounds in her Polyvore post inspired me to try them out–up to this point, I’ve been wary of backgrounds because they tend to turn weirdly transparent and be generally difficult to work with. But after some trial and error, I was able to find some cool backdrops to work with this week’s […]
