January 10, 2016

Tonight’s the night! Ever since our precious Outlander was adapted for the screen in the brilliant Starz series, we Sassenachs have been waiting for it to receive some major award recognition.

The most celebrated holiday of the year has finally arrived! No, I’m not talking about May Day. I’m clearly referring to Jamie Fraser’s birthday!

NYC Outlander Premiere: A Tartan Affair (And a Dream Come True!)

April 3, 2015

Weeks ago, when I got tickets to the Outlander Premiere in New York, I almost couldn’t believe it was real. I didn’t even tell some of my closest friends for fear that there had been a mixup. After attending the event on Wednesday night, I still can’t wrap my mind around it. If I didn’t have … More NYC Outlander Premiere: A Tartan Affair (And a Dream Come True!)

What Makes “Outlander” So Wonderful? Everything.

It’s Outlander Week!

March 30, 2015

Well, Sassenachs, it’s official. It’s Outlander week! Back in September, it seemed like this day would never come. After obsessing over the first half of the long (loooooong) anticipated first season of the Starz series, we were left hanging for six months. Six months! I’d call it torture, but it seems a little insensitive, considering all … More It’s Outlander Week!
