DIY Geeky iPhone 5 Cases
I recently got an iPhone 5 and as clumsy as I am, I knew the first thing I would need to do was find a protective cover. I was under the impression that my furry Chewbacca case for my iPhone 4 did not come the newer size (although later found out later that they finally came out with the iPhone 5 version) and after much shopping, I was disappointed in the online selection of cases. However, I came across an…

A Girl and Her AT-AT
When I think about my adolescence, I have to say that I was a pretty late bloomer. But I’m not talking about myself in a physical sense. More about the fact that I didn’t become a Star Wars fan until I started high school. I’m not sure why I was barely exposed to Star Wars as a kid, but the minute I finally saw the whole trilogy, I was in love and decided to borrow it and watch it over…

A Visit to Loakal
I recently stumbled upon one of the coolest stores in the Bay Area.

Not only is much of their stuff hand made, but knowing that you’re buying…

Blast from the Past – Guest Blogging for the Frag Dolls
Who knew that when I left the Frag Dolls in 2009, I would one day have a chance to guest blog for them?

I’m honored to have the status “FD emeritus” and am so excited for this opportunity. And to no surprise, I decided that…

ZAP! BOOM! POW!
It’s hard not to love Wonder Woman. She’s such an iconic character and not only strong, beautiful, but she’s sexy without even trying. As you know, I have a love for Junk Food tees and this is yet another one for my collection. Wearing her symbol on my shirt almost feels patriotic (in a dorky way) and it definitely makes me feel like I need to stand for justice! Plus, I thought this POW! hair clip was the perfect addition to…

Space and Lace
Ever since I got this Star Wars Asteroid shirt from San Diego Comic Con this summer, I can’t stop wearing it. I love the simple black and white colors and unlike many geeky shirts, you can actually dress this one up. Because it’s actually a men’s shirt, I tend to tuck it in or layer it so that it doesn’t look as big. By pairing it with a lace skirt and a white blazer, I was hoping this outfit could really…
