Maybe I spoke too quickly when I called BlackMilk my favorite nerd-dress company.  (Just kidding BlackMilk, I love you!) Just in time for May the Fourth (hope to see you there), Hot Topic has released a Star Wars line of dresses and other clothing, Star Wars:The Force Awakens By Her Universe …

BlackMilk is my favorite Geek-clothing website.  I’ve spent a little too much money on outfits there. That’s my Space Invader dress. Usually with Black Milk, I have to be quick because they run out of dresses in their US store pretty quickly.  But they just merged their Australian store with …

Betabrand, inventor of the controversial work-yoga-pants, has developed a pair of yoga pants intended for travel. Betabrand’s whole shtick is that it creates yoga pants that look more like dress pants.  The public disagrees over whether or not it accomplishes “looking like real pants,” but it at least looks like …
