When I realized I'd get to dress up as a character from The Sandlot, I knew exactly who would inspire my outfit: Wendy Peffercorn.

Oh, you don't remember Wendy? The lifeguard? And basically ten year old me's dream for my future prospects. Spoiler alert: I did not in fact grow up to look like Wendy Peffercorn. But now that I'm older, wiser, and have mastered the art of red lipstick (sort of), I planned to use this opportunity to live out my dreams of being the prettiest girl in the neighborhood.

Why, thank you Ham Porter-- I absolutely do.  ​I've never been in a situation where a s'more didn't sound delicious. I once stayed at a hotel that had s'mores out on the campfire every night, and I'm now obsessed with going back to that hotel because there is not a single situation where I would not want a s'more.  To me, s'mores feel like one of those special  treats that take you right back to childhood. One you don't get very often, despite loving the crap out of them. 

So it makes sense that these twelve year old kids would ​sit around making s'mores at their tree house sleepover.  It's the most kid friendly meal imaginable. As Ham Porter so helpfully explains in the following clip,  "These are s'mores stuff, okay? Now everyone pay attention. First, you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallow's flaming, you stick it on the chocolate. Then you cover it with the other end. Then, you scuff. It's kind of messy, but it's good. Now, try some."

There are few things that I hate worse in this world than sports.  And that basically applies to all sports. I get physically uncomfortable if I'm forced to watch a game on television. Like, I don't even watch the Super Bowl despite all the hype around the commercials.  So you'd think I'd equally hate  movies and television shows about sports--but you'd be wrong. 

In fact, the opposite is true. I LOVE movies about sports. Remember the Titans, Moneyball,  Dodgeball, Field of Dreams, etc. You name it, I probably love it.  So this week, I'm going to talk about my favorite sports movie:  The Sandlot. 

Superhero cosplay often involves a lot of things I don't have. Namely, a penis. Unfortunately, I'm also lacking in the  spandex department, and my abs aren't particularly impressive either. While lady superheroes are becoming more well-known all the time, dude superheroes still dominate the pop-culture landscape, making any attempt to really cosplay a superhero slightly  challenging for a lady. 

But that's sort of the great thing about everyday cosplay. I can draw inspiration from my favorite superheroes to create an outfit that's more flattering for more not so subtle lady parts.  Because let's be real, have you seen Deadpool's ass in that spandex? There's no way I could ever live up to that. Plus, I can't very well waltz into my kid's daycare with Deadpool's cache of weapons. 

No, if I want to pull of a Merc with the Mouth inspired outfit, it has to be slightly more flattering and slightly more subtle. 

So, since we're talking Deadpool, we're eating chimichangas. If you're familiar with the character, this food choice doesn't need much explanation. For those of you who aren't, this page from the comics should tell you everything you need to know. 

You see, Deadpool loves to say chimichanga--because who doesn't? It's sort of his thing. But if the above is to be believed, he  doesn't actually like the food all that much. The goal here, of course, is to change that with a chimichanga recipe no one could hate.

Back when I wrote entertainment news for IGN, I constantly wrote about superheroes. In my never-ending quest to find interesting ways to lead into the latest news story, I  inevitably just ended up repeating some version of "it's a great time to be a fan of superhero movies." But god dammit I was right. 

Just finishing up its second weekend, Deadpool continues to be the top film at the box office. It's earned over 200 million in the U.S. box office in just 9 days, which is faster than any other R-rated title.  It's already surpassed the gross earnings of  Fifty Shades of Grey, and it's on track to take out The Passion of the Christ  as the   highest earning R-rated movie ever. 

So, yeah. It's a pretty good time to be a fan of superhero movies. Not least of all because, this week, we're talking Deadpool. 

For Psych week, I'm dressing as one of my favorite characters in the series: the Blueberry. The Blueberry is Gus's car, and at first glance, it may appear as an odd choice. But the Blueberry is in almost every episode, and it's much beloved by the characters. I love the Blueberry so much that I bought a blue Honda Fit and called it Blueberry in homage (though I've also been asked if my car is Tardis Blue, so my car is pretty pleasing for all fandoms).

Also, as a lady, it's really hard for me to cosplay Shawn or Gus. Shawn looks like he walked straight out of an American Eagle ad, and Gus just wears men's business casual. Then there's Juliet, but she just wears suits everyday. And I don't have much use for suit wearing. I did consider cosplaying a pineapple, but finding a yellow dress in February is a Herculean task. So I landed squarely on the Blueberry, despite it being a car. I mean, this isn't unprecedented--there was that one time I dressed up as R2D2.

And it turns out, pulling together a Blueberry cosplay is pretty damn easy.

Those of you familiar with Psych already know the deal with pineapples. But for those of you who haven't yet caught on, there's a pineapple in every single episode. Sometimes that pineapple is an actual pineapple; sometimes it's a painted pineapple on a sign; and sometimes it's in the form of a pineapple dessert.  Usually, the pineapple is pretty easy to find if you're looking for it, but that's not always the case. 

​In any event, what better way to celebrate Psych than with a pineapple themed dessert?
