Everyone's got a bit of Nerd.

As I was cleaning my room in prep for Chinese New Year, at the bottom of a mountain of clothing I found one of my most prized purchases from San Fran-- My super nifty glow in the dark NASA t-shirt!! Somehow I had forgotten about it, but was certainly more than happy to find it. Apparently NASA orders their shirts from this company called, "Cotton Expressions" which just so happens to specialize in shirts featuring science, astronomy and science humour. I have big plans for my NASA shirt, and have envisioned it being a part of my typical summer outfit: hip little tee, micro-mini, and flip flops or my ever enduring birkenstocks. However, after perusing the company's website, I highly doubt their normal clientele have the same sort of outfits planned.

My favourites have to include t-shirts featuring: the periodic table, Stephen Hawking, DNA, and of course a graphic representation of a black hole with Maxwell's equation of light on the back(Be singularly fashionable with this sharp two-sided shirt).

Anyone of those shirts mentioned could be my next buy, but not before I get myself the Chameleon shirt. Simply put, "This stylish Chameleon is too cool to just blend in; he stands out from the crowd in this vivid shirt printed with puff ink to give the scales a three-dimensional texture. See for yourself. Just run your fingers over the screen. " It just sounds so freaking cool, if I close my eyes and think hard enough I can almost feel the texturized puff ink. As a person who likes to stand out in a crowd, I can see no better way than with this shirt.


However, the ultimate shirt must be the one with wolves. How can any geek boy be complete without one? Trust me on this... having dated someone with both a wolf and a bear shirt, it seems to be a wardrobe staple for the nerds of all nerds. But what is it about these nature-rey shirts that appeal to them? Often when I walk down the street and see a guy wearing a nature-rey animal shirt, my reaction is 1/4 disgust, 1/4 embarrassment on their behalf, and then 1/2 calming sense of serenity as I stare into the eyes of the animal(s). "Even when you can't run with the wolves, you can still show them off with this hauntingly elegant full-color design." Yes, yes. I can almost feel the wind in my hair.
