Guest Post: Geek Chic Decor

Today, I am featuring a guest post by Kristin of Bien Living Design, an interior decorating service based out of Chicago. Kristin is a firm believer that great style can be had without breaking the bank, and that everyone can and should have access to an interior decorator, which is precisely why she launched her Long Distance Design service. I felt like I was getting her services for free when she agreed to do a guest post for me — let alone a guest post that focuses on geek chic interior design! Enjoy this post, and be sure to check out Kristin's blog for more great ideas! I am really excited to guest post on Geek in Heels!...

I am dressed in what will either be the most sensational or the deadliest costume in the opening ceremonies. I’m in a simple black unitard that covers me from ankle to neck. Shiny leather boots lace up to my...

The Comic Sans Project (Tumblr Blog of the Day)

Despite the flack that Comic Sans has been getting in the recent years, I think that it may be making a comeback! Exhibit A: The hilarious essay titled "I'm Comic Sans, Asshole." Exhibit B: The Comic Sans Project, which takes famous logos and replaces their proprietary fonts with — you guessed it — Comic Sans.
