WoW this is so hot!

Yay! Here's another hot new trend...just in time for summertime! I wonder why it isn't being covered in the major fashion media?? It's like Anna Wintour is just pretending this doesn't exist or something??





For serious though, why don't people take nerds who LARP more seriously as far as clothing goes? I guess there are places like Hot Topic and Spencer's Gifts where they can buy those t-shirts that say things like, "I can't hear you over the voices in my head" or "Keep staring, I might do a trick"...hahaha...there are about a million of those shirts. They're HILARIOUS! Anyways, there are certain kinds of geeks (the non-lazy ones) who are actually pretty awesome and intense about things, like these LARPing (Live Action Role Play, hello!) costumes. They get their hair did, and have crazy makeup, and create these outfits so they can go romp in public parks with swords and say "LIGHTNING BOLT! 5 HIT POINTS!" I guess that's why it may not be that commercially viable...they like to handcraft these nutty garments.

I mean, I've noticed that even if a certain segment of nerd is not super into things like LARPing, they can still very much be into fashion. It's just a type of style that no one ever talks about, because it goes against basically everything that happens to the "hipper" segment of the population. But sometimes it crosses over! Like what about those guys who totally think they are superheros and wear badass industrial boots? And I've been seeing a LOT of gamer-types wearing very snazzy fedoras lately. I'm not very into the trenchcoat thing, though. It gives me the heeby jeebies.
