Welcome back, Sartorial Geeks. And happy 2019! This week, we sat down with Elie Hutchinson, the one-woman force behind Lorica Clothing.
Between the stuttery, decade-old dinosaur I’m typing this review out on, and an impending move slated to change my whole entire life as I know it in less than two weeks, my reading time has been slashed by more than half. I haven’t gotten the chance to curl up with a book in awhile, much less browse the Kindle app I have installed on all of my personal tech, as every good bookworm does. But yesterday, I had a little bit of time to myself, and I was feeling lucky, so I bought a random ebook off Amazon: Irish Devil by Donna Fletcher, the first in a historical romance duology.
The first book co-stars the terrifyingly sexy Lord Eric of Shanekill— a bloodthirsty warrior whose reputation precedes him— and the Lady Faith— a beautiful, kind outcast with a gift for medicinal work— okay, you know what, it should actually go like this:
When I first read issues one through six of Shade the Changing Girl as they were published piece by piece over a year and a half ago the series was quick to carve out a special place in my heart. Now that I’ve made time to go back and reread those first few issues where they are compiled into a collected edition my fondness for everything Shade has multiplied tenfold. If you’re someone who reads monthly comics you know that most of the best titles are written to be circular. What I mean by this is that some interpretation is gained bit by bit, while other interpretations become more clear when you can put all of the pieces together. Both separate reading experiences feed off of each other for the deepest level of understanding.
Arthurian legend is one of my favorite subjects. It’s full of magic and romance and absolutely ludicrous action. It’s a giant patchwork of characters from all across the centuries. Essentially, it’s its own fanfic, albeit with a few true-to-life elements here and there.
Every few years, someone comes along wanting to tell the “real” story of King Arthur Or at least a new spin on one of the potential realities. At this point, we have just as much proof that he was real as we do that he wasn’t. Perhaps he was a Roman soldier who defected, perhaps he was a real king. Perhaps, like King Lear, he was a minor deity incarnated into human form through storytelling.

One of the most common reviews we’ve seen so far? You love all the cool nerdy things that get recommended here! So, we’re doing an entire recommendations episode!
Has the internet made us vigilantes or just trolls?
What’s in it for you:
What’s it about?
Remember the woman who foolishly tweeted about gettings AIDs on her trip to Africa? She claimed to be sarcastic and making fun of racists. Tone is hard to read in text. Humor is hard to read in strangers. The internet rallied against her. She lost her job. She lost control of her image. Did she behave foolishly? Absolutely. Was the response appropriate? TBD.
When I love a piece of entertainment, I love that piece of entertainment. I will probably ride alongside it through the gates of hell. And for the first few weeks after I’ve first encountered it, my friends and readers and coworkers will hear a lot about said piece of entertainment.
My latest obsession is Director’s Cut. Not sci-fi, but cult-y and off-the-beaten-path enough that it may well appeal to the geek set.
It’s also written and headlined by stage magician and social mythbuster Penn Jillette as part of a passion project. He fell in love with the “found footage” works of Adam Rifkin (the director of Look). Jillette wanted to team up with Rifkin to make his own work in that vein. He – Penn, that is – also wanted to play the villain.
NOTE: This post isn’t completely spoiler-free, so if you have yet to see Avengers: Infinity War, you might want to revisit this later!
Now that it’s been a few weeks, everyone has had some time to process our Infinity War feelings, myself included. We’ve cried, we’ve yelled, we’ve more than likely argued with a stranger on the internet. It’s been a rollercoaster that probably won’t come to an end until we finally get Avengers 4 next year.
While it certainly hasn’t been enough time to get over these feelings and move on, it’s been enough for me to finally step back and take a look at all of the awesome creations that came out of it. Here are some of my favorite Avengers: Infinity War-inspired finds!
