Two years ago today I started Girl Gone Geek Blog. It began with just my friends and family reading it, and has slowly taken on a life of its own. It has grown into a 2-year-old baby geekling (23 in blog years), and I couldn’t have done it without you. As you are probably well aware, I’m pretty obsessed with a lot of things. I started this blog because I wanted to talk about my [...]

Terrell is my IRL friend. I’ve known him for a few years now and he is one of my few friends that I can actually talk to about my numerous geeky obsessions because he’s pretty obsessed too. We always seem to talk about Cowboy Bebop, because, well… it’s Bebop! He’ll end up talking about his crush on Faye, and I always gush about having the hots for Spike. Terrell is also a talented graphic designer and musical artist. [...]

“Humans have a need to share information and ideas: anything we like, anything that’s important to us, we have to let people know about it.” – Jonah Block When geeks love, we love hard, and we want to share our love for our favorite fandoms in any way possible. One of those ways is fan art. Fan art is nothing new, but thanks to the internet we have unlimited access to beautiful renditions of our favorite obsessions. [...]

Anthropologist in the house! Aside from being an anthropologist, Nicholas also creates some fun fan art to feed our hungry geek bellies. With art honoring such fandoms such as Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Harry Potter (to name a few), I’m crushing pretty hard on his Etsy shop. Get to know Nicholas and enter the giveaway, details below! Girl Gone Geek Interview with Nicholas from the Harshness Etsy Shop: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Nicholas: [...]

LunaRae was one of the first people to contact me about adding her Yoshi tattoos to a Tattoo Tuesday post, thus sparking the “Reader Submission” idea. Thanks LunaRae! Get to know the delightful LunaRae and the heartwarming meaning behind her tattoos. If you’re interested in being featured in a Tattoo Tuesday or Tattoo Tuesday Featurette please email me at girlgonegeekblog(@)gmail(dot)com.  Tattoo Tuesday Featurette Interview with LunaRae: Can you tell us a little but about yourself?

The stunning singer-songwriter Emii is known for fun dance songs like “Stilettos”, “Magic” and “Mr. Romeo” feat. Snoop Dogg. But what some people may not know is that this talented singer is also a major geek. She grew up with a mic in one hand and a X-Men comic in the other. I’m pretty sure her resemblance to Mystic during a scene in her music video “Magic” is no coincidence. I got the chance to interview the pop [...]

I’m a fan of many things, two of them being extremely cute things and print books. So it should come as no surprise that I am a big fan of Beth Yates’ bookmarks. She used her graphic design talents to bestow charming bookmarks upon the world in the form of our favorite British fandoms. I’m one of those people who does not want to buy an e-reader (yet), so there are plenty of books that I’m reading that will become a [...]

TV Talk: There will be spoilers about the featured episode and previous episodes.  TV Talk isn’t really a recap, or an official review. It’s how I feel about the episode and show in general. I’m writing it with my heart and not my head. Just me, talking about TV.  I’m head-over-heels for the new anime series, Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon). But honestly, what can I expect from director Shinichirō Watanabe (Samurai Champloo, The Animatrix) [...]

My brother Myles and I are very close (but not Lannister close). He’s not just my brother, he’s my best friend. So when I found out he was interested in tattoos I suggested we get matching brother and sister tats. One day when I was looking at my blog mascot the 8-bit heart idea popped into my head. I asked Myles what he though, hoping that I finally found something that we both agreed on and he loved the idea. After [...]
