Archer “Air Superiority” is a set of air fresheners that are apparently made for men, but could easily be appreciated by both sexes. Scents like “European Sports Car,” “Distillery,” and “Hunting Lodge” fill your room with interesting and inviting scents with nary a lavender, vanilla bean, or spring rain mist […]

YOLO
Well, I never thought I’d type that word into a Geeky Hostess post. Anyway, the newest Satire video takes a look at how adults would use the word “YOLO,” and features lil ol’ me! Take a look and share it with a teenager in your life–the hope is that if […]
Geek Fashion: DIY Wonder Woman Sweater
It was the first unofficial day of Fall in Seattle yesterday. The sky became overcast, it rained for the first time in 49(!) days, and I wore a sweater and scarf to work. (The scarf may have been slight overkill, but my office’s air conditioning is ridiculous.) Needless to say, […]
Geek Etiquette: How To Approach A Geek
There has been a lot of talk lately of women being harassed, insulted, and assaulted at conventions and other public gatherings. This is a terrible thing, and while it’s no excuse for their actions, some of the time the experiences can be attributed to the fact that the harasser didn’t […]
Could You Afford Bowser’s Castle IRL?
Movoto’s at it again with their geeky real estate. This time they estimated the cost (and size and look) of Bowser’s Castle! Bowser’s Castle By Movoto Real Estate Guys, it’s not that bad of a deal. Just putting it out there.

If you’re like me, you’ve always dreamed about getting a pair of Christian Louboutins: their red sole and great style is a must-have. Now that I see he’s made a style with geeks in mind, how can I not spend my savings on a pair? Seriously. These would go with […]
Geek Fit: The Best Lunch for Computer Users
“The Modern Day Lunch,” my version of the famous “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” photo. For Labor Day, I had a bit of fun redoing a photo of workers from the 1930s. My version shows a bit more of the modern day experience. Our lunches are “healthier” according to our standards, […]
Tara’s at PAX!
It’s the first day of PAX Prime 2012, and I’m so excited! In addition to finding me roaming the expo hall, you can see me at the following places: PAX “Improv Initiative” Show I’ll be doing improv with an amazing group of guys (seriously, who let me in?) tonight (Friday) […]
Thor Hammer Ring
This Thor hammer ring is my favorite type of geeky jewelry: It’s subtle and stylish enough that non-geeks will compliment you on it. Once they do, you can explain what it’s based on, and potentially turn a fashionista into comic book fan! Plus, how strong will you feel wearing Mighty […]
