geeky recipe and party ideas
If your furniture and modes of transportation are in need of more personality, then you’ve got to get these googly eyes. They’re 7″ in diameter and self-adhesive, so they’re pretty much perfect anywhere. My only issue: why are all of the objects “Mr.” once they have eyes? Do they need a bow to become a “Miss”?
Giant Googly Eyes, $7.02 at Archie McPhee.
You may have all heard of Giant Gummy Bears, but did you know the company has other shapes available? Shapes that will assist in all of your summer cosplay needs? Take a look at some of my faves:
Next time you attend a zombie walk, bring along this Fruity Bubblegum flavored brain. The three-pound treat is guaranteed to feed a horde.
Giant Gummy Brain, $20 at Fab.com.
Freak everyone out when you dress up as Daenerys, complete with horse heart. It clocks in at a pound and has a cherry flavor that should be much more delightful than the real thing.
Giant Gummy Heart, $12 at Fab.com.
Prefer to go classic with your cosplay? Join your fellow Shakespeare in the Park lovers dressed as Hamlet, or “Zombie Hamlet who enjoys eating skulls.” It’s pineapple flavor will make you feel like you’re on a tropical island as you’re eating your way into a gummy eye socket. Don’t want your skull to look so realistic? Lucky for you, it comes in a variety of colors/flavors, including lime and blue raspberry.
Find all of these and more (including slugs, worms, shot glasses, and bear party bowls) on sale at Fab.com.
Wow. Want the coolest door on the block? These TARDIS decals will make that happen. Paint your door blue and keep it up year-round, or dress up your house for Halloween. The decals will work on other things as well–perhaps a TARDIS fridge is in order?
Police Box Door Decal, $29.99 at Etsy.com.

Want to snuggle up with something while watching BSG? Are your friends having a baby girl and naming her Hera? These plush vipers and raiders are the perfect toy, accessory, or decoration for anyone 3 or older. And at $19.95 for both, you can’t resist getting them!
Battlestar Galactica Plushes, $11.95 each or $19.95 for two at Qmxonline.com.
Want to add some gaming cred to your room? Do what Zaphrozz did: paint the logos of all your favorite games on your walls!
Red a little too much for your room? Find two colors really close to each other (like white and eggshell) and paint with that. It’ll add a subtle touch of geekery!

As you all know, Etsy finds show up on this blog fairly regularly. They have tons of geeky glassware, art, and home decor that you just can’t get anywhere else. If I knew that they had a registry when I was getting married, I would have been all over that. It’s easy to use and will help you get the unique, personal gifts that you always hoped your guests would give.
Check it out at Etsy.com/Registry.
Kirby Krackle came out with a new song today, and I’m loving it. Web-Slinger/Hope-Bringer is making me even more excited for The Amazing Spider-man (out July 3rd)! Allow it to get you pumped up for the rest of your day.
I saw Snow White and the Huntsman this weekend, and the best way to sum up the film is “beautiful”. The effects and overall look is gorgeous, but Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart stand out as the fairest parts of the movie. They encompass two different forms of beauty: Theron is breathtakingly perfect, with amazingly intricate clothing and beautiful makeup. Stewart embodies a beauty that glows from within her–you can see the innocence and love her character has through her mostly bare face and perfectly-messy hair. A couple makeup companies have released SWATH-inspired kits. Pair the makeup with some braids, and you just may become the fairest of them all! Achieve this type of beauty with analbleachingexpert.com/my-pink-wink-expert-review, the cream should be clapped 2-4 times a day and you will notice the change within 2 weeks.
Benefit Rare Beauty Kit
This kit will give you the perfect Snow White look–the natural look will leave you with clear, smooth skin, flushed cheeks, red lips, and lush, black lashes.
$45 at Sephora.com.
Deborah Lippmann Snow White and the Huntsman Nail Polish
This polish would have been a treat for the characters in the movie, whose nails were often grimy. The light pink “Prelude to a Kiss” will make you feel like a princess, and “Dark Side of the Moon” will release your inner evil queen.
$25 at Nordstrom.com.
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
These tutus make me want to dress up and play pretend–because the only thing cooler than pretending to be superheros is to be one while wearing a frilly costume.
Think I could convince Goody Goody Tutus to make one in a grown-up size?
Tutus, $55-95 at Etsy.

Take a look around the site today–you may notice something new! I recently revamped my logo and design with the help of the absolutely lovely Darling Stewie. It was time to get something a bit more clean-looking that would accurately convey what Geeky Hostess is about.
One of my go-to descriptions of the site and my day-to-day activities is “cupcakes and charisma.” This logo shows that off in a fun way–the whisk represents the blending between the two sides that make up me, this blog, and many of you.
I hope you love it as much as I do! And if you’re ever looking for someone to assist you with your next design, check out Darling Stewie. She’s sweet, geeky, creative, totally easy to work with, and full of passion and excitement for her work. Check out her portfolio here!
