Geek Chic - Finding the fashion in our favorite characters.

So, this is an abnormally girly topic for my usual fare, but it's been on my mind a lot lately.

When we think of the term "geek chic" immediately the thoughts of black rimmed glasses and suspenders spring to mind. I'm not talking about this type of geekish fashion. I'm talking about finding fashion inspiration from our favorite superheroes and sci-fi characters.

Why not?

So, here are a few to tantalize your taste buds:

Hunger Games - Katniss Girl on Fire

Doctor Who - Weeping Angel

Avengers! 

I'll have to say that this is one of my favorites ways to dress on an everyday basis. Nothing more empowering than a little nod to your favorite superhero. Super geek points to those in the office who recognize the nod. It's a good way to strike up a conversation and find other like-minded people in the workplace and in life. :) 

So, I have a challenge for YOU! I want you to express your favorite cosplay in a fashionable way and send me pics. I'll post the best outfits for all to see! Oh, and here are a couple of my personal favorites:

Chainmail? Oh wait...yeah not that one....

Casual Pond. My Amy Pond batwing red shirt with blank skinny pants and heels. So comfy, and a great nod to the girl who waited. 

My Clara Oswin Oswald nod. Nothing like being able to grab stuff you already own and put it together. Great fall look, and those who know the Doctor can recognize it. :) 

So send me YOUR pics!

Wait, is that an update? Holy crap!

What's shakin' bacon?


Checking in with you all! It's been quite a long time. I'm busy with the epicness that is life.

Working my fingers to the bone as a SharePoint designer, planning and prepping new and exciting cosplays, and planning a comic themed wedding! Not too shabby eh? Oh, and Capaldi has already captured my heart. What do you think? Are you loving him?

Quick run down of cosplay's I've done recently: 

A little Jean Gray action for the Xmen: Days of Future Past opening

Bad Wolf from the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special - Wizard World Philly 2014

The new Thor - based off of the recent comic sketch. - Boston Comic Con 2014

What's coming up: 

Awwww yeah.....

It looks like Retrocon 2014 is going to be my last con of the year. I have a lot to focus on and save for, but in 2015 I will be kicking it off with Katsucon! Let's do this! 

Oh yeah, and a little ren faire action will happen of course.....I mean, have you seen my everyday wardrobe?

And yes....a word from your favorite geeky girl.....Always be yourself...

unless you can be Jack Sparrow. Then always be Jack Sparrow. 

MWAH! Missed you all! Write me, email me, comment me, send me hilarious memes.
