Han Solo in Carbonite Ring & More Geek Bling by Paul Michael

While the Han Solo in Carbonite ring is just a concept - for now -  Paul Michael Design has created 

so many unique custom rings for geeky romantics! Bellow are just a few of my faves from the gallery

on the Designers Facebook page. Of course - I'm partial to the Star Wars and Avengers Bling.

Dude. Really?...Choose The Droid.

OK, this is the most unrealistic Star Wars ad ever made and it has been bothering me for weeks now. 

If an R2 unit and smart phone were actually being offered at a comparable price point as the set up 

prensented implies - what moron would not choose the Droid. And what the?!?! R2-D2 certainly does not require a Starfighter to be useful...did the people who made this commercial ever even watch the movies?

Star Wars Style - Casual Cool Leia, Retro SW Comic Pumps, R2 Tutu, and Formal Vader

This week Ace Cosplay Artist Scruffy Rebel shared the casual fangirl outfit she wore to see EP I-3D. 

She had the Corellian Blood Stripe leggings cutom made - but they really need to be a real thing.

Previously Scruffy Rebel's Tron Dress and SDCC spotlight.

And Club Jade shared these DIY Star Wars Marvel Comic covered pumps by BanaeQuee.

She describes her process here. I might try this on flats if I can bring myself to cut up comics.

And lastly R2-Tutu and Formal Vader. They've been making appearances around the web for
sometime - but both are two more great examples of unique Star Wars style.

Black Milk Clothing - Couture Leggings & Swimsuits beyond R2 & 3PO

Like many a Star Wars Fan, I discovered Black Milk Clothing when their R2-D2 & C-3PO swimsuits were a geeksite phenom. But there is so much more to love about this Australian designer specializing in small runs of high quality funky leggings and swimsuits. Plenty of "basics" like cool rocker chic black leggings, and 80's homage brights are offered. But the real stars are the unique patterned pieces -- leggings, swimsuits and dresses with edgy pop prints, or perfectly placed famous art, x-rays, and ironic photo images.

New collections sell out almost instantly on the retail website; and online success has recently enabled founder/designer J Lillis to move the business (and small staff) out of the garage and into a real studio space.
