geeky recipe and party ideas
I had this silly idea to create an “evening look” inspired by C-3PO. Mostly, I’ve wanted to do a closet cosplay of C-3PO somehow, and I thought this might be easiest. Why him? He’s my favorite character from Star Wars. He and I are very similar: we both worry […]
What does Carmen Sandiego do when she wants to go on vacation? She doesn’t want to stay bundled up in a trench and scarf, but she’s gotta stay vaguely recognizable for all of those kids looking for her (which is only a little bit weird). So she trades her […]
Sometimes it’s hot out, you don’t want to be bothered to do much with your hair, and you need a bit of extra oomph to get you through your day. And on those days, it’s best to channel Lara Croft. Her bad-ass-ness will infuse your day while you get […]
One perk of going to San Diego Comic Con as Press is that you get invited to press rooms/interviews. And if you’re like me, you take the opportunity to ask the cast of one of your favorite shows about etiquette tips. Because, why not? For those who don’t know, […]

In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday.” Today I […]
2012 was an amazing year for Geeky Hostess: I spoke on panels, got to know more of the geek community, appeared on podcasts, and wrote special columns for other sites. I look forward to MUCH more of all of that in 2013–I may have some other surprises up my […]
Mr. Geek and I decorated the tree this weekend and put on Christmas music for the first time this year. Although the music Pandora plays is nice, it’s missing the geek flair we all love with our songs. I was incredibly psyched this morning to see that Kirby Krackle […]
