Star Trek: The Exhibition
It is universally known that I have the most adorable nephew on the planet. If you were not aware of this, then you need only meet him to realize that I am absolutely correct when I make this declaration. Now that we’ve established his awesomeness, you can see why I would try to hang out…

Star Wars Slave Leia Photoshoot
Depending on how long you’ve been following, you may or may not remember that we raised money to get me into a bikini like the one Princess Leia wore in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The donations came in and the costume was purchased. It took a while to line up the photo shoot…

No caffeine makes Hot Nerd a dull Girl
I’m giving up caffeine. I’ve decided that I’m far too dependent on it and I will be controlled by no one and no thing. So how’s that working out for me? Well….today is the first day and I have decided that I’m going to figure out a way to pull my brain out of my…

Let’s do the time warp again
I attended a friend’s birthday party over the weekend that had a 1930’s theme. Next thing I know, I’m in a room full of gorgeously dressed gorgeous people in authentic 1930’s formal attire.

Ghostbusters: my date with Peck and Slimer

The Linda Hamilton Chronicles
So, it turns out that a lot of people dig Linda Hamilton. Either that or they just search for her a lot. Ms. Hamilton has consistently been one of the top searched for people on the Hot Nerd Girl Blog. I’m not gonna lie, this perplexes me just a little. Not because I don’t think…

7 of 9 – In Memoriam 2010
‘Tis the time of year for In Memoriams and there will be plenty of them. All of the awards shows and news organizations will have them. Heck, I even saw one last night on Turner Classic Movies (after watching the original 1968 version of Night of the Living Dead, of course). My 95-year-old Danish Grandmother…

Help a Soldier out
Part of being a socially responsible nerd is giving back to the community. I’m big on helping people, whether it’s defending someone who’s being picked on or giving food to the less fortunate. This is, of course, a recurring theme in my favorite sci-fi franchise, Star Trek…working towards the betterment of mankind. While we’re not…
