meet dat blogger: k8

My name is Kate, I shorten it to k8.

In a nutshell: The world's first witch-feminist hybrid! Foreign languages include Latin and Sarcasm. Would grab my leather jacket in an apartment fire and bring mascara to a desert island. I run almost exclusively on hazelnut coffee and male tears.

Out of the nutshell: 21 year old university student who could easily have a PhD in watching television but am instead majoring in Classical Civilization and International Relations. I'm considering grad school but also hoping that someone will find this blog and just pay me to exist. (how has this not already happened? it's like there's no justice) Fairly critical of pretty much everything but actually likes quite a bit of stuff. Just recently learned how to do winged eyeliner. I love food, especially breakfast, avocados, popcorn, and pomegranate greek yogurt. I work at my university's registrar office which yields hilarity often. In a very loving relationship with Netflix and every female character ever.

What I'll probably write about: pop culture!!!!!!!!!!, music, food, fashun, and One Direction. no seriously.

(If it was not already apparent, I am Princess Bubblegum in real life.)

meet the blogger: nana

 
sidekick rings, what's up holla-

My name is Mariana, but you can call me Nana (like nuh-nuh- I have learned from experience that even my four letter nickname can be mangled as much as my Latina-as-hell given name can).

I'm twenty-one, I'm queer, I'm a writer, and I've been compared to Lauren Bacall and Michelle Rodriguez. Both of which are worthy, I think.

I'm studying cinema, creative writing, and Latin American studies at NYU, but my friends will tell you I major in eyeliner, media criticism, and subverting the patriarchy. I want to go to grad school for cinema studies. Essentially my life plans are to be a starving artist.

I watch TV like it's nobody's business (I'm in the middle of a Criminal Minds marathon as I type this), I am practiced in the art of matching my nail polish to whatever novel I'm reading at the time, and I live by the mantra: If your eyeliner is on point, your life is on point.

Life goals are to be the next Roger Ebert and to have my opinions matter to everyone. The three fictional characters I identify with above all are Cher Horowitz from Clueless, Grantaire from Les Miserables, and Remus Lupin from Harry Potter.

I'll probably write about pop culture, Sailor Moon, and my faves.
