Girly Gone Geek: Batman Princess, plus Star Wars Princess

Though we’re months away from Halloween, what’s Valentine’s Day without a little sweetness?  Behold, the Batman Princess.

Batman Princess

As spotted on Comics Alliance, this post comes from Donkey’s tumblr page. Alas, with no commentary. I would love to know the backstory behind the costume, and the neighbors’ reactions.

Donkey’s tumblr page also links to her flickr album, where I found this little beauty – not quite Princess Leia, but a Star Wars princess, nonetheless.

I love how the little girl is allowed to embrace both her geeky and girly selves. How have you helped young girls feel empowered about their love of geeky things?

Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut

Misleading title I know.  Here’s the story.  In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Star Wars fans to help remake Episode IV: A New Hope, but there was a catch.  The iconic movie was broken down into 15 second pieces and users were asked to remake one of those pieces.  Now, we can finally watch the entire film, stitched together from thousands of submissions.

This is seriously the entire movie, and clocks in at over 2 hours.  Enjoy.

Vegetables you will eat!

Being a mother of 2 geeklings is no easy task. Not only do I have to make sure that they are well rounded by watching the required amounts of Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, but I also have to get them to eat their vegetables. Now granted, I don’t have any problems getting them to curl up with me for another round of Harry with popcorn, but getting them to eat a balanced meal can be very challenging!

Jill at Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons has a great solution for all of Geek Moms who face this problem. She helped her kids play with their food and create a lunch sure to tempt any hungry, little padawan.

As much as my kids love Star Wars, I don’t think I’d ever have a problem with them chomping down on a Chewbacca dog, or a Yodalicious salad. They can even play Mash the StormTrooper potatoes. Heck, I think I would have just as much fun as my kids eating this meal!

Star Wars Sarlacc Pit “Show Globe”

Star Wars Sarlacc Pit Show GlobeIn continuing with my current Star Wars obsession, I thought I would introduce you to this awesome Sarlacc Pit Monster “Show Globe” by xneaker on Etsy.  I had never heard of a Show Globe before, but I guess it would be hard to have a Snow Globe on Tatooine.

Now you can impress your friends, or punish your enemies, with a trip to the Great Pit of Carkoon to visit the Sarlacc Pit monster.  All this in the comfort of your very own home.

Check it out on Etsy!

Tusken Raider Star Wars Crochet Hat

Tusken Raider Star Wars Crochet HatWhile I wait patiently for my computer to finish downloading Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I can effectively shed this world and all it’s troubles for a much older world in a Galaxy far, far away, I thought I would browse through Etsy for some wonderful Star Wars related crafty goodness.

When I happened upon BeeBeeKins (A shop for the kids and the kids at heart), and found this Crochet hat, I knew those pesky Jawas wouldn’t be bothering me any longer.  If you scare easily, but then return in greater numbers, this may be the hat for you.

Check it out on Etsy!

This Darth Vader bust is made entirely from scrap metal pieces fixed together, the process of how is was assembled detailed on the site.

Bellino also has other scrap items such as skulls and cockerels. The talent displayed is simply awe-inspiring.
