Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.
Fuck Yeah Nerdfashion: Geeks and nerds have always been stereotyped for wearing ill fitting clothes, looking disheveled, and wearing glasses. A concept of being generally unaware about their hygiene and outward appearance that stems from the assumption that we don't care about it since we never leave the house (even if we rarely do anyway).
I am still proud though, and people are noticing. Being a nerd has become pretty cool. In the last few decades, especially in Hollywood, there has been this very distinct hotness factor developing around nerd culture! It's even fetishized in some instances. I believe that anyone can harness this awesome sex appeal, you just have to know how to work your nerdstatus in the right ways!
Nerdfashion is about taking all the awesome qualities we already have (like playfulness, sarcasm, cultural relevance, over-excitement, intelligence) and showing them off! It's not about dramatically changing your appearance for everyone else or to fit a certain standard, it's about gaining confidence through finding things to wear that make you feel like you. Nerdfashion is just an outward expression of your inner awesomeness.
For example: If you have an incredible graphic tee collection... old shirts can go from "meh." to "hot damn!" or "what? awesome!" just by learning to accessorize a little bit instead of wearing them with the same pair of old jeans every day. Or if you've been wearing the same style of glasses since third grade try upgrading... Pick out something you love (like a sexy cat-eye librarian pair) even if you're not sure you can pull it off! Or try that classy Rivers Cuomo/Clark Kent style, hell even Matt Damon looks hotter in a sweet pair of Buddy Holly Glasses!
Basically this blog is a combination of fashion and swagger tips for reaching your hot nerd potential, the occasional cosplay here and there, and an appreciative display of some geeks who are definitely getting it right in our book!
You are a nerd rockstar, Work it! :)

I have to admit… Hot Topic has had some pretty awesome DC Comics swag for the ladies lately! I especially love the “Girl Power” and “We run this Town” shirts. And of course the Cassie costume tee! :)
They’re a little on the pricey side, but hey, all things go on sale at some point.

So I had a boudoir session today and it may have been a bit on the geeky side.
I can’t wait to see the rest from Yours Truly Boudoir! -

I was thinking about the recent #NotBuyingIt campaign by Miss Representation over the “Be a Hero/I Need a Hero” Avengers shirts being sold in the Disney store.
Disney has actually since removed the shirt from their shelves due to all of the media attention (Great job ladies of the internet!), but it also made me think about all the awesome DC Comics shirts I’ve seen both online and in Hot Topic stores. Some of these are for kids and some are junior sizes.
Not that I think DC generally deserves a pat on the back for being inclusive toward women, and I have seen a few gems like the Lois Lane “I Only Date Heroes” and the “Girls Love Bad Guys” gotham villain tee, but my search has yielded much more positive than negative. I’m glad that there is at least one awesome person over in their clothing department!
I also did find one positive Marvel ladies shirt which you can buy here!
If you know of any other girl-positive comic tees please send us a link and we would be happy to feature it! Bonus points if it is a photo of you wearing the shirt!

GAMER TIE CLIPS
Many of us work jobs that frown upon flaunting our gamertude and we have to be careful about what we wear and accessorize with. So when a design comes along that lets us display our geekiness subtly and in a way that won’t get us in the hot seat with the boss, we celebrate.
The Little Saint offers just such designs in a range of gaming and geeky tie clips. Each clip is made of stainless steel and some are even available in color.
I’m not a big gamer, but these are cute.
These are right up our alley!

Fangamer Jewelry
Our friends at Fangamer just introduced a new line of necklaces. You can open any door in Hyrule with the Small Key ($17) and Boss Key ($18) necklaces. Perhaps you prefer getting Jiggy ($15) with it alongside Banjo and Kazooie. You can also keep in old school with the classic question block ($17).
All necklaces were designed by the talented Jon Kay.
