Wipe T-shirt for Glasses

The bespectacled geek may be a stereotype, but who cares about stereotypes if you can’t see? There are contact lenses, of course, but there are times when your eyes just need a rest and you have to wear glasses. And when it comes to glasses, one of the irritating things about them is wiping them clean. I am sure you can think of a hundred and one situations when those lenses get smudged, foggy, or dirty. And if you do not have the right kind of cloth, you know how that goes. If you can relate, raise your hand! (Mine are both up.) What if you can have a t-shirt Read more »

Wheel of Time Women Front

So it seems that everyone has fallen for George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, thanks to HBO’s Game of Thrones. As much as I love the TV show and the books, I still can’t help but go back to my first love: Wheel of Time. This epic series by Robert Jordan remains unmatched in my heart. While I doubt that the books will be turned in a TV series any time soon, I am pretty sure that there are still countless readers who spend considerable time discussing, reading, living, and thinking about the complex web that Robert Jordan’s world is. And in case you are one of those, you’ll be delighted Read more »

Game Boy Swimsuit Back

Remember that awesome Star Wars R2D2 Droid Bathing Suit that we shared some time last year? No? Go ahead and click that link. You won’t regret it! That swimsuit – or bathing suit, if you prefer to call it as such – was made by Black Milk Clothing, which started out as a designer leggings label. While I have never really looked at their leggings, their swimsuits really look ace. This latest one, which I discovered via Geekologie, is even cooler than the R2D2 one. At least that’s what I think – you can sue me if you think differently. ;) Now what did I say? Doesn’t that swimsuit just Read more »

FashionWare 2011: Better Late than Never

Geeks and fashion? Gone are the days when the reasonable people did not care about what to wear. Instead, today, we hear about hipsters, geek chic, geek fashion, and so on. There are even entire ensembles created especially for those who want to look geeky cool! Maybe there is nothing wrong with that, but it is something that I still cannot totally grasp. Anyhow, did any of you hear about FashionWare 2011? It epitomizes the trend that I just outlined above. FashionWare was dubbed as the “Fashion Week for Geek Fashionistas” and was held at the recently concluded CES 2011. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure Read more »

The Day Andy Exploded

Do you know who Andy is? I am pretty sure you can name a few Andys in your life, but for the true blue Android geek, there is but one Andy: that little green robot. Andy, Google’s Android mascot has become precious to many an Android-loving person. Gary Booth, who I suppose is one of them, just came out with an Exploded Andy shirt, which I think will enthrall a lot of geeks out there. True, the idea of Andy exploding may not seem nice at first, but once you take a look at the shirt, I am pretty sure that you will want to get your hands on one. Read more »

Glam It Up With The Tetris Dress

You gotta love this dress by Erin of A Dress A Day. I came across it over at Geekologie, and I have to say that I fell in love! You see, I am NOT a dress person. I am more of a jeans and shirt gal, putting comfort high above fashion. Yeah, I have been called out for it, but hey, who cares, right? Lately, though, I have been noticing dresses and thinking that maybe, it’s about time to get my hands on some. Stumbling across this Tetris dress just might be the sign that I have been waiting for! I know it may not be “glam” for the fashionistas, Read more »
