Christmas Countdown Day #12: Santa's "Surprise Visit" to the Bundys (Married with Children)

Today's Christmas Countdown is all about my favorite dysfunctional family the Bundys from Married with Children. In the episode You Better Watch Out (second season episode 13), the Lakeside Mall's Christmas promotion goes tragically wrong. I feel bad for the person who was hired to play Santa. He died because had to jump out of a plane for a mall promotion. However, Santa's death didn't stop the Bundy family from being their cynical selves. And not to mention the second video showed their neighbor Marcy Rhoades having a breakdown.

It doesn't help that the police couldn't remove Santa's body until the neighborhood kids leave from outside the Bundy house. And to do that Al dressed up as Santa and spoke with the kids until they all left. I wish I found a clip of that scene because Al being his typical self wasn't exactly being that nice but the kids didn't really care. And they pushed back with their own insults as well. Despite the tragedy this was a funny episode.

Happy Father's Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

I want to wish all the fathers a very Happy Father's Day!

My dad's a quiet guy, he may not be big on words but his kindness and actions have always shown all his love. I want to say to all of the fathers, please know there is no perfect way to be a dad. But if you show your child or children how much you love, care, respect and support them. That will go a long way and to them you will always be the perfect dad.

I hope that we all have a great day spending time celebrating with our dads. And to anyone who is unable to be with their dad or doesn't have the best experiences with their dad, I very much wish you a happy day.

However you're celebrating Father's Day, I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday or Sunday. I hope the day is filled with good times and good food. And if you're looking for something to watch, below is my Geeky Holiday List.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday TV List)

Before I start my holiday post, I wanted to say that Book Girl has been experiencing some technical difficulties as in my internet has been really bad. I could barely use it and I only had like a small window of time daily to post something real quick before it went out. Ever since the last most recent storm which was so bad it knocked out power for so many people, but I sort of lucked out with only my internet being nearly out. However, thankfully yesterday it was repaired. Although another storm is supposed to roll in this weekend so hopefully, my internet will be fine.

As for the holiday, whether you're celebrating throughout the day or in the evening or over the weekend, I wish everyone a fun, safe and happy St. Patrick's Day. For anyone looking for something fun to watch for the holiday, I have a Geeky Holiday List with a few episodes below. You can also check out my other two past St. Patrick Day posts for additional things to watch: 1 and 2.

Super Bowl Geeky Holiday TV List

I know Super Bowl Sunday is seen as the ultimate sporting event/holiday but I have absolutely no interest in watching the game. In the past, I would go to Super Bowl parties mainly to hang out with my friends. But then I realized aside from being with my friends the game was so boring. Ever since then, I would either hang out with like minded non-football friends and I do something fun with them or spend the day by myself doing whatever I wanted.

So, for my fellow non-football fans, I decided to create a geeky football list of shows to watch. I may not like football but I can enjoy it when it's on a show. Whether you watch any of the shows on my list or watch something else, don't forget the snacks.


Batman: The Animated Series


Season 1 Episode 19: Fear of Victory

Description:

While investigating a mysterious series of athlete panic attacks during games, Robin is exposed to the fear toxin of The Scarecrow.

Fashion Meets Fandom: Kelly Bundy (Married with Children)

I decided to move all my geek, entertainment and lifestyle post back to The Book Girl's Book Blog. I like my other blog, Truly Outrageous and I created it because I thought I needed to simplify this blog. However, both blogs ended up feeling impersonal plus by moving my post I took away what made this blog special. Not to mention I actually like having all of my post in one spot. So, here is a Fashion Meets Fandom post I had originally posted on the other blog. I'll gradually move some of the other posts over as well.

Married with Children's Kelly Bundy was the ultimate sexually liberated party girl of the 90s. This aspiring model and actress had a fashion style that was a combination of rocker, biker and video vixen. I don't recall Kelly ever worrying about what she was wearing because she was confident and knew she looked great. She totally set the trend for 90s trampy chic while also making a statement with understated feminine casual pieces.

Her fashion staples included short tight mini dresses, flowy spaghetti strap dresses, crop tops, tank tops, off-the-shoulder tops (and dresses), mini and pencil skirts, jackets (especially leather), short shorts and the occasional pair of pants. Her outfits were never without her signature red lipstick and some type of accessory such as belts, bracelets, necklaces (including various large crosses) and earrings.


Kelly had such a rocker chic style that I wanted to highlight that for this inspired look. I incorporated her love of rock and metal bands by selecting a band t-shirt and paired it with a denim jacket and faux leather skirt. I accessorized the look with a simple silver cross but you could always add red lipstick, sunglasses, a few extra pieces of jewelry, patches and pins to the jacket while pairing it with boots to complete the Kelly Bundy look.
