Geeks lose out again...

So I'm sitting outside the movie theater waiting for the midnight showing of Sex and the City. Obviously Lemon's choice, not mine.

Dozens of women dressed up in their party dresses and high heels for the occassion. Here is the double standard. For these women, it's fun and fabulous. Change this to a premiere of Star Wars or Star Trek, though, and dressing up for the movie becomes nerdy. But isn't what they're doing tonight dolled up in costume essentially the same as coming to the theater dressed up as a Jedi or a Klingon?

I would have to say yes and no. I will sum it up like this ... you can't really show up to a formal dance wearing a Beau Bafett costume.

"Beau Bafett" - Is that a new European designer? ;-)

And what's wrong with going out to eat dressed like a Wookie?

Beau Bafett? Beau Bafett? Where? ON THE RED CARPET OF COURSE! Also seen at Spago's! Wookie pelts are in this year, but only faux.

What the hell, W2?

Actually, that may need to be my new nom de plume.

What the hell? Well it is a nice little jab at Wankmaster.
