Welcome back, Sartorial Geeks! This week, we sat down to chat with Benita Botello, founder of Book Beau.
Commuters, we’ve all been here: you have a long train or bus ride ahead of you. All you want is to sit down and get lost in your current read for the next half hour or so, but when you take it out of your bag, the cover is bent, the pages are crushed, and your precious book is ruined. What’s a bookworm to do?
Hi, Sartorial Geeks! The Sartorial Geek Podcast is back with our second ever live episode!
This week, we’re live from LeakyCon, an amazing Harry Potter-themed con for fans in Dallas, TX. We’re chatting with Taekia Blackwell, COO of Mischief Management: the convention company that makes LeakyCon possible!
Mischief Management has been producing fan events since 2009. Their event lineup caters to a wide range of fandoms, from BroadwayCon to Con of Thrones. Taekia takes our questions and tells us all about what goes into making a convention happen and how Mischief Management was able to build a community of fans around small ideas. A lot of blood, sweat, tears, and love go into these events, and they wouldn’t be possible without this incredible team!
You can learn more about Mischief Management on their website, mischiefmanagement.com. Here, you can see all of their events and when and where to catch them. (Next up: AlienCon in Baltimore!) Make sure to check them out on social media at facebook.com/mischiefmgmt and @MischiefMgmt on Twitter.

Stay nerdy.

Even though it’s four hours away, Fantom Comics was the first local comic book shop that felt like home to me. Raven Smith was one of the first people I met there, and I’m so glad to talk to her about all things comics!
We’re so excited to release our first live episode! We talked with Tiffany Mink and Matt Newman from Whosits and Whatsits all about Disney love on stage at San Diego Comic Con.
Hi, Sartorial Geeks! We’re back, and we’ve got some more geeky recommendations for you!
If you picked up issue two of The Sartorial Geek magazine, you might recognize Mallory and Emily Cohen. They’re an adorable cosplay couple who walked us through their process of picking couples cosplay options and splitting up the tasks to create each outfit. If you’ve ever thought about cosplaying by yourself or with a partner, we cannot more highly recommend checking out the magazine and reading their tips!
This episode is full of insider cosplay moments, pros and cons of attending conventions in full cosplay, and tons of tips about Disney and Disneybounding.

You may recognize Ashley Warren from a few places. If you’ve been to any of our Sartorial Geek events, she’s the person making sure everything runs smoothly and actually happens. You may also know her from her podcast, The Kindred Spirit Podcast. Or, if you hang around sartorialgeek.com, you’ve probably seen Ashley’s column “Podcast Sommelier,” where she combines a podcast with a cocktail.

Chris and Becca are one of my favorite nerdy couples from college. They’re a great photography team (you may have seen some of their photos on the Jordandene website) and also throw THE best themed parties. We talk about their annual Harry Potter holiday party, which is in a different location every year (like the Slytherin dungeon or Weasleys’ house) and is complete with paper invites, tons of cosplay, and on point food and drinks.
