The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[LOLtron]

Dom takes a closer look at Geek-Girls with some legitimate credentials. A list of women worthy of admiration and respect.


The other day Wpromote.com/blog (an online marketing company) posted a piece giving "homage to the most fashion-forward women we know, the original geeks." These "geeks" have a couple of things in common: they are all fictional, and they are all (except for Daria and possibly the American Pie movie) from things actual geeks wouldn't care to watch. View the original post here.

As a person with actual "geek" and/or "nerd" cred (noted below), I feel it is my duty to represent Wpromote in a positive Geek-Girl light. Simply putting together a list of fictional characters from mainstream movies and shows is not a very good way to represent the geek-girl culture. There are real women out there worth our time, respect, admiration, and worth looking-up to that have legitimate geek credentials... and I would like to highlight some of them.

Felicia Day - Real Geek-Girl

The list of women has been broken up over 2 different posts:


To view "The Real Geek-Girls (Part 1)" which features women such as Felicia Day, Amanda Conner, Gale Simone and Laura Martin click the linked title (Part 1).



To view "The Real Geek-Girls (Part 2)" which features women such asVeronica Belmont, and the Nerdy Bird, Jill Pantozzi, click the linked title (Part 2).





My Geek/Nerd Credentials:

• Comic book reader/blogger 365DaysofComics.com and TheOuthousers.com
• I've been to several comic and pop-culture conventions...even a Magic the Gathering convention
• Gamed often – Computer and various systems
• Favorite show: Firefly
• I've had a Spider-Man tattoo since high school (I'm 28).
• I wear glasses and own a Spider-Man and ThunderCats shirt

Overall Geek Rating – 7/10 – I lose points for being super attractive, muscular and modest.

If you would like to follow any of the talented and admired women above, please check out my twitter @365Dom. I follow most of the women listed.



With so many geek-girls left off the posts, which do you feel are worthy of our admiration and attention?

I am confused, because at the link to the original blog, those stats are attributed to someone else, namely Bonnie Burton:

Bonnie Burton

If geek-cred were midi-chlorian, than would be one powerful Jedi Knight. Burton is a staff writer for StarWars.com and controls the official Star Wars blog. Yeah, if you are a content developer for a Lucas company…you’re pretty much elite in the world of geeks. Burton is also a journalist who has been published by Wired, Digit, Geek Monthly and Bust. She also does some long form writing by way of her 2009 book “Girls Against Girls: Why We Are Mean to Each Other and How We Can Change.” She writes about ways for teen girls to handle dealing with “mean girls” and offers advice on ways to better one’s self so that they don’t fall into the mode of becoming a “mean girl” themselves. You can follower her twitter account (@bonniegrrl) if you wanted to be connected to all things geek. If you want your ear to the geek-street, following Bonnie Burton is a must.

Well?

BTW, Felicia Day is undeniably attractive and modest, I'm not sure she'd qualify as muscular but I'd like to put it to a test.

Who is that, Moonbeam?

No, those are Dom's credentials. They're just really, really close to Bonnie Burton's, so it looks like it's a part of her entry. It's a spacing issue.

Ooooooh. Yeah, in both the original blog and the OP it's really confusing then. I'd suggest a new format if you want people to make any sense of it.

@asmodeus jones...you are the first one to express confusion over the spacing. It is a bit close on the original post, but it seems far enough away in this post...not to mention it is in a different section. I guess it doesn't hurt to over space if it will help avoid all possible confusion. With that said...you're an idiot. Haha. Just kidding, dude.

That said, fuck you, welcome to my ignore list. Dude.
