One of my favorite booths to visit at ECCC is TopatoCo. They have all of my favorite web comics and items to purchase all in one spot! This year I found some incredible aprons. At $18 each, you can’t go wrong! These aprons and more can be found at […]

Geek Etiquette: Tips from Comic Artists
The Geeky Hostess is gonna help you get your manners on! Each Monday, we’ll focus on a topic of etiquette. We’ll take a look at the classic rules (using Emily Post as a guide), and then evaluate the rules for our daily lives, creating a guide to “Geek Etiquette.” Have an etiquette […]
Cinderella’s Glass Slippers IRL
Marc Jacobs made one of our childhood dreams come true: He created a pair of shoes reminiscent of Cinderella’s glass slippers. My only fear is that these would look like jellies when on. And/or that it would show your feet all scrunched up at the front, which would be less […]
Tara’s at ECCC!
Starting today, I will be picking up comics, seeing stars of my fave geeky shows, and taking photos of adorable cosplayers. That’s right, I’ll be at Emerald City Comicon. If you want to come up and say hi, or are looking for something cool to do at ECCC, this is […]
Chicken n’ Waffles Syrup

Woot Prints available on Posters/Cards
This week, Woot.com launched “Looks Good on Paper,” a temporary shop featuring some popular shirt.woot designs on posters and cards. Because, let’s face it, sometimes the design is amazing, but it’s just not something I’d want to wear on a shirt. I’m a fan of the Cupcakeosaur and Hang In There card […]
Guest Post: When a Themed Wedding Just Doesn’t Work
My friend Margaret (of Nimble Narwhal Creations) has been keeping me up to date on wedding trends as she plans for hers. I asked her to do a guest post on a trend we’ve both been observing lately: themes that perhaps shouldn’t be tied in with a wedding. One of […]
Build Your Own Narnia
kelseypolo from reddit posted pictures of her friends’ daughter’s new wardrobe, and it’s pretty fantastic. If you have any old nooks and crannies in your house, this would be a fun idea to make use of the space. You could even turn it into a mini reading room! Bonus points […]
Geek Fashion: Dress Like A Tribute
After a wildly successful opening weekend, it looks like The Hunger Games will be sticking around for a while. Lucky for us, many of the characters/costumes in the movie are pretty easy to recreate (especially since they didn’t take the Capitol people to the level of body paint and whiskers). […]
