Okay, I probably should've mentioned that I don't have much experience doing makeup for people BEFORE I pulled out the fatalistic eyeshadow, huh?

Nails I'm good at. Near your eyes? Better not blink...

hehe that's okay, rarely wear eyemakeup, but my nails? Always nice to have them purty for killing online baddies and raiding for hours on end

I like your style! Do you have any punky pink/purple/black tartan in there?

Let's see... No tartan, I'm afraid, but can I interest you in black silk with vibrant pink lace and dark purple decorative stitching? It's great for making a statement on stage.

I'm thinking black nails, a red/purple pentagram (colour of your choice) on each nail, and a layer of clear varnish... That's for your fingernails. For your toenails? Possibly electric pink with black letters (words of your choice).

I may need a magnifying glass and a tiny paintbrush for the pinky toe...

No, I haven't seen those before...

To be honest, it's been a number of years since I last did intricate nails.

They looked really good, but I had to use a tiny paintbrush.

Both ideas = More Awesomez!

I need to join a goth metal band that's open to letting me experiment on them regarding makeup and wardrobe.

<-- control freak in hiding

OMG, I recently bought 2 Nightwish CDs and have been listening to the songs off those pretty often. ("Once" and "Imaginaerum".) And as it happens, I bought Tarja's CD before finding Nightwish. What was it called again? ... "What Lies Beneath".

Yup, they have awesome style, physically and musically.

Yeah, Nemo was one of the first Nightwish songs I ever heard.

*puts the musical episode of Buffy on the big screen*

"Once More With Feeling" is the best of both worlds - geekdom and musichood.

I think all kinds of people will post here no matter what.

For instance, I'm not exactly a geek chick (at least I don't think I am), but I'm posting in here anyways!

Cliff Face said:

So when are we going shopping?

And to be honest, if there're any girls in this thread who want my advice on dressing goth, I'm so available. The goth look and a geek spirit? Be still my heart!

*unloads a bucket of black nail polish, red everything, a dash of purple, medieval skirts and coffin handbags from his imaginary car*

Everything is 50c.

I HAVE $5!!! WHAT DO I GET?! OMG!!

oops... capslock. Sorry.

I believe $5 will get you a professional photography session in a comic book store.

Mates rates, you understand.

I wonder what it is about this thread that is attracting the guys?

Must be all the hawt nerdy ladies

Silver King said:

This thread title bothers me a little. The tone of the discussion is cool, but the heading makes it sound like an exclusive party where one sex is preferred over another.

Click to expand...

The title is more of a joke than anything else, but the point of the thread was kinda to unite girls/ladies/women who are geeks/nerds in a show of solidarity. (On a serious note, the nerdy industry is often male-dominated and perceived as being 'only for men', so this is kinda a fight back)

But it's not like we can stop guys letting themselves in *glares at Cray and Haggis*

*throws glitter at the boys*

Gah! How could we have forgotten Joss Whedon? Did anyone else like Dollhouse? I really wish it would have gone beyond 2 seasons.

I loved Dollhouse! I was so sad it ended so soon!

That's Clan Parrish right?

Well ladies, it's very late here and I'm off to bed. Thank you for the <burp> ice cream and popcorn and whatever those things in that bowl were.

<Yawn> Night all!

*Doesn't have the heart to tell her they were chocolate-covered spiders.*

I've noticed a chocolate-covered theme here.

Not complaining. Just observing.

*fills out report*


*heads back to hq to brief the men.*

Can they transform into chocolate or coffee?
