The journey of coming out is one that often brings forth feelings of apprehension within the LGBTQIA community. Questions like “How should I approach this?” or “Will my loved ones accept me?” and even “What if they don’t?” can be daunting to tackle alone. While having a supportive community to offer guidance and encouragement is paramount, stepping into a new circle can also evoke its own set of fears—wondering how to establish connections and whether one will be embraced. This is where a common thread that brings people together, providing a shared language, becomes invaluable. Flame Con stands as a prime example of inclusivity and positivity, capable of empowering even the most reserved individuals.
Sartorial Geek Boutique round two is heading to Geek Girl Con this weekend! It’s your one-stop shop for geeky accessories (so many enamel pins), apparel, and even books!
It should come as no surprise that our favorite thing to do at The Sartorial Geek is share the cool things that fellow geeky brands, artists, and fans are up to. We are beyond excited to bring a collection of the greatest nerdy makers to you with: The Sartorial Geek Boutique.
Hello, Sartorial Geeks!
We’re so excited to see so many of you at San Diego Comic Con this year. Unfortunately out of our editing team, only Jordan will be there this year (fingers crossed Liz can make it next year!), and we won’t have a booth home base. BUT there are three panels you can find me at, and I’ll be floating around as many meet ups as I can!
If you were at our geeky networking panel at Emerald City Comic Con, I promised that we would round up all the badass bosses you heard in one list for you. If you weren’t able to attend our panel, you missed a lot of incredible stories and tips about making real connections with the people around you and how we can all lift each other up. But, we have some exciting news:
C2E2 is like a breath of fresh air every year.
We love Chicago, the people there, and how freaking big the convention center is! Plus, Chicago breweries really show up for C2E2, and the beer fan in me is very pleased.
The Sartorial Geek is heading to SDCC!
The Sartorial Geek is hosting our very first live podcast episode at SDCC! Unfortunately the entire team can’t be there this year, but me (Jordan from Jordandené) and my husband Joey (aka the wonderful designer behind everything we do) are so excited to spend this week at San Diego Comic Con. The Sartorial Geek won’t have an official booth setup, but we’ll be at the con every day and trying to meet as many people as possible.
Please come say hi if you see us (you can find updates about where we’re hanging out and what I’m wearing each day in the Jordandené IG stories).
