Iconic Geek Halloween Costume: The Princess Leia Gold Bikini
As one of the many who's over the Halloween-as-opportunity-to-dress-trashy trend, I'd never push an ultrarevealing Halloween costume. Unless, of course, it's revealing for authenticity's sake, as is the case with the Holy Grail of sexy geek outfits: the Princess Leia gold bikini.
This handmade costume from Etsy pulls out all the stops, including making the metal-look bikini "top" out of sculpted clay and wire.

A DS Stylus Fit For the My Favorite Gadgets Group
I'll admit it, I haven't shown that much love to the My Favorite Gadgets group lately, but trust me, it's not due to lack of options! Worthy of its own entry, I found this DS Stylus pack at E3, and couldn't get over how I haven't seen them anywhere before. I mean, a light up Lightsaber-shaped stylus?
Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes First Impressions
I got to meet up with my pals from Lucas during E3 yesterday, and they walked me through their Star Wars themed title. A classic battle between good and evil (is there any other kind?), you battle your way through levels wielding your Light Saber and powers of the Force. But this game isn't based on the classic Star Wars franchise — it takes off after season one of the hugely popular animated series on the Cartoon Network, Clone Wars.
Darth Vader in the Loo: Ian Pool's Superhero Art
Darth Vader definitely loses a little of his intimidation when you see him, uh, on the pot. Such is an example of Ian Pool's work — photography that portrays iconic superheroes and other geek characters in their "real," regular lives.
Check out the other photos on Pool's site for funny shots of the prosaic lives of characters we usually put on pedestals, like Spiderman taking a leak and Batman hanging out in a diner.
Star Wars Quilt: Love It or Leave It?
It may be Star Trek mania right now, but I'm still a Star Wars girl as well.
I was smitten with the Star Wars Throw Pillow when I saw it, and now I am equally taken with the coordinating Star Wars Quilt, featuring an embroidered-on Millennium Falcon (on sale for $197 until Monday).
Think about it: it's not like your duvet, so you don't have to commit to it as a decor option.

The Star Wars Cookbook: Bake Wookie Cookies!
Have you ever wanted to combine your two passions: Cooking and Star Wars?!
Well, don't worry, you can, with the Star Wars Cookbook: Wookie Cookies ($15)! Each recipe in the cookbook is themed to the series in some way, like Crazy Cantina Chili, Boba Fett-Uccine, or C-3PO Pancakes, which sound amazing enough, but how insane will everyone go at your next party when you whip out a tray of Wookie Cookies?
