Kubo and the Two Strings is in theaters today.
According to the press release it is, “An epic action-adventure from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA. Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of “Game of Thrones”) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Hashi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), and Kameyo (Academy Award nominee Brenda Vaccaro). But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara), to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family, and fulfill his heroic destiny.”
More intriguing than the story is the fashion. Deborah Cook, from LAIKA, created exceedingly intricate pieces for the characters, inspired by vintage kimono fabric. Undoubtedly laborious, she had to create 35 duplicates of each look, which must be tested for movement, gravity, and detail.
Cool, no? Be sure to check the movie out today if you’re intrigued!

So last night I linked up with Love and Hip Hop New York star Cardi B to talk fashion, fame, and being in the spotlight.
She is hilarious, super smart, and just as animated as you can imagine!
5 things I learned about her:
1. She doesn’t really drink
Though suitors in the restaurant sent her champagne (and I helped myself to some Henny!), she’s not much of a drinker. She avoids the hang overs, empty calories, and prefers sparkling water over spirits.
2. Fame Has Its Pitfalls
When I asked her about the worst parts of fame, she admitted that the negativity often gets to her (sure she’s scrappy, but the mean comments sting). Another downside: her loss of privacy. People have invaded her personal space, asked for selfies on off days, and physically pulled on her for pictures.
3. She Sets Big Goals and Goes for Them
Though she’s only 24, Cardi has come far fast, mainly because she sets big goals. She told herself that she wanted to make $100,000 before she was 22 and she did; her next big goal is to have a family and a gorgeous baby.
4. She Wants to Be Known for Her Music
Cardi wants to focus more on her music career (and her music is popping!). Her song Foreva (above) has over 3 million views!
5. This might be her last season of Love and Hip Hop
If you enjoy watching the Trinidadian/Dominican Bombshell on the small screen, you’ll have to lap it up! She intimated that this will be her last season on the show. Her sights are set on music, marriage, and getting that schmoney.
At any rate, we had a blast, and I can’t wait to take a look at her closet!
If you have any questions for Cardi, leave ’em below and I’ll be sure to ask them when we film.
Smootches!
