Chic Geek: The Beauty of Geekery
.
a blogumn by Delia Hauser
The other day, when I was researching my next article, I stumbled upon on a whole section of Etsy I stupidly haven’t even addressed yet. How dare I leave out those sellers that proudly list their wares under the category “geekery”?! Yes, that’s right; not JUST clothing, or jewelry, or gifts, or home décor, because it includes ALL of these things with a little nerdy spin. I mean, isn’t that what this very site is all about?
We geeks are different these days. Having a scientific mind, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or using an inhaler no longer defines the modern nerd. You can be a very stylish nerd, or an art nerd, or even a football watching WWE nerd. I recently met a lovely female nerd that has every sci-fi book and movie known to mankind AND she wears Prada. Her shoe collection was a sight for my sore eyes and her DVD collection for my boyfriend’s. You just never know, you know?
So, I explored this perfectly joyful section on Etsy for HOURS, and sifted through literally thousands of listings to find a little something for every kind of new millenium nerd. Check them out or go to Etsy and peruse “geekery” a little while for yourself. I’m sure that hundreds of wonderful things have been newly posted since I last looked. Meanwhile, all sorts of Geek Bling and Nerdy Things after the jump.
