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?

Episode 003: Nerd Makeup with Jaimie Cordero of Espionage Cosmetics

By Jordan Ellis March 21, 2018

Nerd makeup, it’s a thing!

During our trip to Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con, we got to visit Espionage Cosmetics HQ and sit down with their owner and Glitter Jedi, Jaimie Cordero, to chat all things nerd makeup.

One of the first things Jaimie says about Espionage Cosmetics is that it isn’t quite the business she expected to have, because it’s so much bigger and so much better. Espionage’s first product line (The Browncoats Collection) came about as a response to the devastating news that Firefly actually only has one season. It sold out at its first con and has since exploded into the glittery empire it is today.
