Geek...fashion??

Now, I've been a bit of a slave to youtube videos. So, let's break that streak! I promised nerdiness and by god, I will deliver! So let's begin...with fashion!

 For reference, I have shown fashion's antithesis.

Now that I have finished shoving some kind of currency down a mannequin's crotch, I will proceed! I have found that being a nerd that produces menstrual fluid provides is full of pros and cons. The pros? Conventions! D&D! Comics! Zombies! The fine Doctor Who! The goddamned BATMAN! But the downsides? Though there seem to be a decent amount of nerdy girls out there, retailers seemed to be unaware of out existence. Most nerd stores will have some kick ass t-shirts. But not a lot that account for boobs. But with the internet, at our fingertips lay a cornucopia of retailers who are slowly satiating the female nerd  population. And I will let you know, I will not link to something unless you can buy it! First off:

And, yea, there was a place in for boobs in her shirt

I have this shirt and LOVE it. Not only it is a lovely purple, but it hugs the waist and looks good! It's from amazon (click on the link to snag one for yourself!). When I was at the Doctor Who convention in Cardiff, Wales, I saw another girl with this exact shirt. Proof that not only will this shirt hug your figure, it'll make you an international traveler. But where will you place that traveling money? In your geekchic wallet, of course!

Click on the "link" to get it. Get it? Link?

I've linked to stylin online because it gives nice details of the wallet, but they charged me seven dollars for shipping, so screw them, get it at the forbidden planet website for cheaper. I've also seen it in Game Stop. I've also got several compliments on this from non-nerds who just thought it was a neat design and classy wallet. Not only that, it has a clear slot for your license so you never have to take out your ID again! But wait! There's jewelry!

"I'm just playing D&D!" I yelled while flailing my head back and forth. 

To be honest, I've only recently come out as an RPGer. I have older siblings; they tease me often. I didn't want to temp fate. But now that I'm out I must say...it's amazing! I suck at the actual math n' fightin' bits, but I can channel a manic hobbit eerily well. Also, I killed a walking staff turning into a dinosaur the other day. So I'm pretty much a pro. And, with these earrings, no one could doubt my sheer professionalism at killing Jurassic sticks. And now for the geek dress...

Clearly the dog, unlike myself, is unimpressed.

Now this is the kind of dress my boyfriend would buy me if he had money and the kind of dress I would buy me if I had money. It's retro; it's geeky. It's cute. And what would be the perfect end to this geek fashion medley?

I am one of those few geeks that has no plans for the zombie apocalypse. Because I'd die. True to nerd stereotypes, I am blind without my glasses and a terrible klutz. One swift trip and I can no longer tell a zombie from a particularly ambitious shrub. So, though I can't say I'd survive the zombie apocalypse, I can say I would look damn good in these heels.

Wish you all the best in your upcoming stylish and nerdy adventures! Remember, smart is the new sexy.

Drunk Batman - Not one, but THREE youtube videos

What is it about the caped crusader we find so engaging? Is it his handsomeness? His richness? His broodiness? Upon reflection, I believe the great question is, why aren't more ladies into the caped crusader?

But this is 1959! There's no more sexism in comics any–oh wait.

All issues aside, Batman is generally pretty awesome. And, for some reason society seems to think he'd be even more awesome drunk. How do judge what society wants? Well, I look to youtube; truly, it expresses the deepest desires and highest hopes of society. 

Batman has a Drinking Problem

Quick robin! Get the Bat-vodka!

In this video, we get to see Batman use his deductive reason to unlock the Riddler's clues, which despite Alfred and Robin's foolish doubts, keep leading him to the same place. What horrors await the Bat as he tracks his foe to a no doubt dastardly location!

 

Drunk, karaoking and thrusting, Batman is still the less flamboyant of the duo

It induces some clever chuckles and the folks at Collegehumor give us some decent production value. And, furthermore, we get to see batman trashed, which is the dream is it not? Our next video also offers "college humor," but here it in the narrator, not our hero who is drunk.

Drunk Comic Book History: The Robins

I'd be broody too if I had to deal with a b**** under my cape.

This video fulfills its title's promise in the first five seconds, a man begins to deliver the History of Batman's Wards (there are, like, four apparently) in inebriated soliloquy. His dialogue produces scenes of Robin, Batman and Alfred who follow the narration to a tee and even bust out some pretty good limp syncing. Also, there is this:

 

Batman would like you to know not only that he named that turkey leg "justice,"

 but that, after much training, that trophy is merely an extension of his fists.

Overall, a charming and informative display of geekiness and silliness, despite, or perhaps because of, the low production value. And yet again, we have intoxication coupled with everyone's favorite Bat. But this will appear mere child's play compared to the superhero blood alcohol content soon to some. Hold on to your childhood, this is going to be a sloshy ride. 

Batman Meets Superking

What ever happened to the Caped Crusader? Alcoholism.

These were the old days our parents told us about, where there was one bat-time, one bat-channel, and if you didn't catch it you were the un-groovest kid in school. Here, Adam West dominated the small silver screen that proclaimed "Pow!" in comical letters. It was a time where shark repellent was a necessity on the utility belt. And, if the video below is to be believed, fearlessly defended Gotham  with a crazy and drunken fist. West's amusing and sad ramblings are far too akin to your unemployed, single and forty year old uncle when allowed access to alcohol. 

"You think, you know about the world, college boy?"

"Uncle Adam, you're spilling beer on me."

"You're damn right I am kid, You're damn right."

As the video progresses, Batman offers Superking (an "evil" wrestler of the era) a way out of his villainous ways. He tells him to signal before he turns, and scolds the wrestler for wearing Superman's outfit. If you look closely, you see the interviewer die a little inside.

Two men: one in tights, one in a suit. Only one contemplates suicide. 

At the same, time, who can blame Adam West's inebriation? Hell, if I was batman, I would be drunk all the time. And sassy! And probably less depressed. I mean, I'm a superhero; I'd be having a good time. Oh, my god, I would be... I would be...

I would be doing me all day.
