Being Geek Chic is a blog for stylish geeks, sophisticated nerds and people who enjoy the musings of a complete dork. Join us as we dream of driving the TARDIS, cuddle with our eBooks and test out an iPad sleeve. It's written by Elizabeth Giorgi and a team of brilliant lady nerds. Meet the team.
Tina Belcher is my role model. She’s not just a liberated woman. She is a brave woman. Mostly because she is completely unapologetic in her sexual liberation. I mean, check this babe out.
I present you with my top five favorite quotes from Miss Tina Belcher:
"Time for the charm bomb to explode."
"Your ass is grass and I’m gonna mow it."
"I’m no hero. I put my bra on one boob at a time like everyone else."
"If boys had uteruses, they’d be called duderuses."
And of course, the quintessential truth she tells herself that every other awesome woman I know should also repeat like a scratched compact disc: "I am a smart, strong and sensual woman."
On a serious note, Tina is seriously the best teenager on television since Daria. And in some ways, she’s even better than Daria, because she is completely, 100% aware of herself and doesn’t suffer from the same social anxiety and fear that Daria did when it came to romance. And what holds girls in their grip more than romance when you’re a hormonal high schooler? She’s honest and perfect and just saying what many of us thought. That’s a freaking gift. Puberty never looked this honest.
The above art is pretty bad ass and you can totally pick it up as a print, pillow or phone case from super cool artist Sara Eshak here.
A movie written by women starring two women about women running their own business? And that business happens to be a naughty, dirty phone sex line? Yeah, hilarity is all over that.
Incredibly, the two make a cocktail of awesome for this giveaway.
For a Good Time, Call… is written by Lauren Anne Miller and Katie Naylon and chronicles Lauren’s real life experience running a phone sex line out of her college dorm room. In this fictional take, two ladies are forced to move in together and when they can’t pay the bills, well, they turn to the oldest trade in the world. Yeah, sort of. Via telly. Well, you know.
Here’s the trailer:
The movie is out in select theaters across the U S of A, so go look for it now. In the meantime, let’s win a prize.

*The fine print: I was not compensated to run this giveaway. All prizing and samples provided by the publicity team from the movie. The total value of the prize pack is $50. The giveaway also includes the cost of shipping to one address in the continental United States via the United States Postal Service. Only open to US readers. The views expressed here are my own and are not those of Focus Features, staff, actors, etc. or their publicists. Please follow the rules and be kind to one another.
It seems that there is a growing population of politicians and pundits in a certain age range, class and political group who are totally mystified by the women of America. While this isn’t normally something I’d discuss here, it feels appropriate at the moment to dwell on the things that cause me high blood pressure.
So now you’re my therapist, dear reader. Group therapy, perhaps? I’ll try and make it less painful with an occasional photo break from my instragr.am account. (p.s. let’s follow each other!)
"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex — what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex." - Rush Limbaugh
Such a misuse of free speech should be insulting to every women he has ever married. (He’s on his fourth wife.)
I don’t believe in stopping people like Rush and the like from speaking their mind, but I do believe that people who have the audacity to speak this way should be prepared to hear the wrath of the populations and the people they direct their vile towards.
You embarrass your mother, Rush, with these statements. You make your wife look like a fool. Do you realize it?
What’s worse is that you’re the equivalent of a 19th century Internet troll.
Meanwhile, there are individuals who are running for President who employ handlers to prevent such statements, but who think it.
"I think it’s harmful to women. I think it’s harmful to our society to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated …, particularly among the young and it has I think we’ve seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to the society. Birth control to me enables that and I don’t think it’s a healthy thing for our country.” - Rick Santorum
You know what I think is harmful to society, Mr. Santorum? You. Your delusions of grandeur and your presumptions about what is safe for women.
Here’s something beautiful. Flowers. Look at that asexual life force for a moment…
I’m not married. I live with my partner. I own a home. I pay taxes. I contribute to our economy. I decide what’s safe for me to do and not do. I pay my health insurance premiums each month and the co-pay on my oral birth control.
Long ago, I decided having sex with another consenting adult was something I wanted to do. And I did it responsibly. I didn’t leave it up to my priest or my politicians. I made that decision all on my own.
And you know why? So I don’t have to face the consequences of raising a child I can’t support. Or worse yet, face the idea of having an abortion.
What’s strange is that I’m not even surprised.
I just wonder how much longer I have to wait for God to smite these assholes.
Sorry flatfoot, but science confirms it: Women dig guys who can dance well…. Researchers at Northumbria University in Newcastle Upon Tyne attached electronic sensors to 19 male students at the college, put on a thumping dance beat and told them to “shake it like a Polaroid picture.” (Well, no, they didn’t actually say those exact words, but you catch the drift.) … Initial analyses showed that 11 movement variables were significantly positively correlated with perceived dance quality. Linear regression subsequently revealed that three movement measures were key predictors of dance quality; these were variability and amplitude of movements of the neck and trunk, and speed of movements of the right knee.
