So, for my very first post I think I will do a quick review of some of the awesome geek things out there just for us!
Number 1:
Ctrl-Alt-Del's Lilah is well known to many gamer girls. Face it, she kicks ass! It only makes sense that a shirt based on her would be just as great.
Found at Split Reason, which carries CAD's product line, for the decent price of 17.95 USD. This is about average for a baby doll T online, and I can attest to the quality of their other shirts. It is also one of the few shirts designed just for women, rather than unisex, or a guy design on a baby doll T. ("n00b I am your father" on a baby doll? WTF?) Yes, yes, there's all sorts of panties out there, but really, as cute as they are one doesn't generally go around showing off your panties. At least you probably shouldn't.
Number 2:
Explosm is a cute comic, known for being... strange. Sometimes their humor is a little much, but that's part of the charm. You can see what I mean with this next shirt:
Also sold by Split Reason (seriously, they have a lot of great products, check them out), this one is good for a laugh. I wouldn't wear it to cons tho, you might get some takers *eye roll*
That was all the shirts I really came up with. Yea, there's lots of baby doll shirts out there, and some are great, but none that are for us only. With that said, here's some more stuff.
Number 3:
Ah, Think Geek, my other love. I could spend hours on their site, wishing away my paycheck. Seriously, if you haven't been there before, GO NOW!
Unlike the previous two products, I actually own this one. It is by far my favorite accessory. The best part? You can take the dice out of it! This means you always have a d20 on hand for those spot checks, or you know, to just pass time. You can usually get loose d20s for pretty cheep too, so it's easy to change the color of the necklace if you want. The next best part? It's only 10 bucks USD! I just tossed it in with another order I was doing for birthdays.
Number 4:
This one looks amazing, but it has a lot more cons than the previous one.
Also offered by Think Geek, but much pricier. At 19.99 USD, it's double the price, and half the awesome. Yea, it looks cool, but it's not practical. The charm itself is too light for the chain it comes on, so doesn't hang well. I had to put it on a silver chain I had which worked better. Also, my cat managed to pull it off, with the loop separating. I have no idea if this is normal or not, but I know my other necklace has survived my cat. Would not purchase again.
Number 5:
Alas Mother's day is past, but there are birthdays and Christmases coming up.
We female geeks have it easy compared to our femgeek forerunners. While we are still greatly out numbered, and still have to put up with "OMG CHIXZOR!", our Moms had to put up with "You can't join." Well luckily many women had the nerve to challenge that, and have become great role models for us today. (Love ya Mom!) While not a baby doll, This loose cut shirt is a great fit!
Number 6:
Ok, this isn't just for girls, but as it's the most amazing product ever made plushie, I had to share it.
That's right! Giant Microbes! These things are a great gift for young and old. I actually got mono for my friend's 4 year old and she LOVED it. It really sparked her interest in biology, and is a good starting point for talking about the importance of hand washing etc.
This sure seems like a Split Reason/Think Geek love fest. Well, it is. Live with it :D
