For the fashionably sexy geek

I truly believe we are in the rise of the girly geek, no longer is comic or geek culture solely under the ownership of men. I myself have been a Trekkie since the tender age of 11 and was brought up on a substantial diet of sci-fi TV. Comics are a reasonably newer addition to my life started reading them 6-7 years ago and collecting for almost 3 years, however one of  my earliest memories is spinning around in my garden pretending to be Lynda Carters Wonder Woman. So when it comes to expressing my geek side through clothes I am becoming aware that fashionistas are beginning to realise the huge market for girls like me. So I have been browsing and found a number cute, sexy and basically awesome fashion pieces that I love and think you will too. 


Let us start with one for the Trekkie - Vulcan earrings, let out your inner Spock.






If you don't already know I am a massive Doctor Who fan and so this is just a beautiful must have piece, plus it's bigger on the inside.






Even geeks need sun and holidays, so these are ideal and they definitely are the droids you are looking for.






For my square flat feet high heels are a form if torture, however on the rare occasion when circumstances require them I choose these and made by DESIGNEDBYDIVAS 




and of course I'll require sexy stockings

Now for some jewelry picks 

PI necklace








There is lots and lots more I could pick, which is a good thing but these are my top picks for today.

A cunning hat!

My mum made me a cunning hat! Jayne Cobb's to be exact from the most excellent series Firefly (bring it back! bring it back!) The episode in which we meet the hat is 'The Message' and in world of geek this simple winter wear has become sci-fi legend. 

"How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?" ~ Jayne 

Well having recently attended a comic con in London, Scott and I began to talk about how we must cosplay next time. We batted around a few ideas for each of us. At the same time (for dramatic purposes) my mum had decided to take up knitting once again. She began to knit our daughter a variety of animal shaped wool hats. This is when my husband requested a Jayne Cobb hat. A character he could easily cosplay, don't shave for a while, buy a fake gun and some boots and he is all sorted.

So we tried to explain the entire concept and history of the series and its multiverse, then decided some basic googling was probably easier and found a pattern. Bless my lovely mum she went to the effort of ordering some Icelandic wool (but don't tell my dad) One week
later my husband has a Jayne hat. I was totally jealous it was awesome. The sweetest thing is that she had been reading up on the whole hat saga and was telling me about Jayne's mum. 

It didn't take long before I demanded my own, its only fair and with winter on its way I could do with some warm head coverage. This time it only took her three days, I have requested two more and now beginning to wonder what other sci-fi/geek themed head wear she can make me. I've requested a Dalek and may be a pikachu and probably many more. Anyway here is a pic of me in my hat. I know you're all totally envious of my awesome hat.
