My Little Pony…or they will soon, thanks to Hasbro!

In honor of International Friendship Day, the company will be using My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as a vehicle to celebrate by releasing five sets of special edition pony figures depicting some of entertainment’s most famous pairs of best friends as ponies. The sets include Transformers (Bumblebee & Optimus Prime), I Love Lucy (Lucy Ricardo & Ethel Mertz), Clueless (Cher & Dionne), Laverne & Shirley (Laverne De Fazio & Shirley Feeney), and another timeless childhood classic, Sesame Street (Bert & Ernie).

In conjunction with the release of these figures, Hasbro has also utilized the popularity of the My Little Pony franchise to team with the youth division of Points of Light, generationOn, launching a global service campaign that uses the Mane Six to teach children about helping others, encouraging children and their families to celebrate friendship through acts of kindness and the power of volunteer work in their schools, neighborhoods, and local community.

Patrick Macnee on Second Geekhood As most fans know, (Daniel) Patrick Macnee passed away on June 25, 2015 at the age of 93. The actor was best known for playing the internationallyPatrick Macnee as John Steed in The Avengers on Second Geekhood recognized, charmingly elegant, quintessentially English, and slightly mysterious character of John Steed in the 1960’s British television series, The Avengers, and its follow up, The New Avengers. However, it wasn’t on either of these shows that I first saw him. It was in Battlestar Galacticatumblr_naslk17lxt1sqf5tdo1_1280 that, as a young boy, I watched him for the first time playing three roles at once: two voice acting roles (Opening Announcer & Imperious Leader) and portraying Count Iblis on screen. Though there are 167 credits in his work history, Steed will always be the one role everyone will remember him for.

According to his son, Rupert, Macnee died of natural causes at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, with his family at his bedside. Rest well, good sir…so say we all.

Total Drama: The Ridonculous Race

TD-TRR

 

Can’t wait for the next Total Drama Island?  Well, maybe this will hold you over:  Total Drama The Ridonculous Race.  This is not TDI season 6, but a spin off from the same creators.  With a new cast and host, it is a spoof of “The Incredible Race” type reality shows.  It follows eighteen teams of two as they race around the world for a cash prize of one million dollars.  Apparently it’s already being aired on Teletoons in Canada and will eventually be on Cartoon Network in the states.

Canadian Geekateers:  If you’ve seen it, please leave a review.  Otherwise, here is pretty much what we know so far on Wikipedia.

Clockwork Couture Closing

Posted on May 18, 2015 by TimeSiren Posted in news Leave a comment

There has been so much geeky news the past week I have fought to get Second Geekhood up in time to cover at least some of it in a timely manner. Unfortunately, this local sad news comes at a mere three days old for Clockwork Couture, the local steampunk clothier located in Burbank, CA.

There is some confusing info in the flurry of posts on their Facebook page, but what is clear is that they are closing their doors by at least the end of this month. Few things are worse than hearing your favorite store closing except a death in the “family” of fandom – be it a friend or a well-known and beloved icon one grew up with.

Second Geekhood says help keep clockwork couture going!

If you want to help, there is a gofundme campaign going on right now to help keep them afloat. It was originally to help pay the rent to the end of May, but an update 14 hours ago said they have enough for May and the goal now is to keep it going through June. We will keep you posted as we get more news in the next few days/weeks.
