Life has been a bit busier around here lately, and that’s because The Geeky Hostess recently became a Geeky Mom! Leonidas (or Lil’ Geek) was born on April 15th, 2020. Everyone is healthy, happy, and sleep deprived. Not much will change for The Geeky Hostess, but I may include some […]
Star Wars
Roasted Porg
Yes, yes, I know we all had the same reaction to those new creatures in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: They looked positively delicious! Chewie had the right idea when he decided to roast one up. Porgs are abundant on Ahch-To, have plump little bodies, and I have a sneaky suspicion […]
Skywalker Olive Oil: Fit for a Space Princess
Some of you may be familiar with the name “Skywalker.” It’s the last name of some characters from a space-themed entertainment franchise.

Halloween Photo Shoot: Sexy Boba Fett
You voted. This year, you wanted to see me frolic around in public as a “Sexy Boba Fett.” As “sexy” costumes go, this one was not so bad. Most of me was covered, I stayed fairly warm, and I didn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed if a child saw me (unlike […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: C-3PO
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 […]
