Honesty, especially when it comes to communicating with children about the great wide world, is always a must. But when it comes to Star Wars, Brian Gordon’s Fowl Language comic has it pretty spot on: If a little white lie prevents a child from ever discovering Jar Jar Binks, then I don’t see the problem.

Actually, it’s already here, but hey, it doesn’t make this comic from The Awkward Yeti any less true!

For those attending NYCC this year, there’s a large “Cosplay is not Consent” sign greeting people as they enter the con. The sign says:

Please keep your hands to yourself. If you would like to take a picture with or of another NYCC fan, always ask first and respect that person’s right to say no. When at New York Comic Con, be respectful, be nice, be cool and be kind to each other.

If you are at the convention and are victim of harassment, you can easily report what happened through the NYCC app.

Unfortunately, I was not able to obtain a press pass for NYCC this year, but Rich from Aggressive Comics will be there to take photos for us.

We can’t actually do flips and tricks in real life, so we applied a bit of video magic.

Sometimes, you just have no idea what the answers are when you’re faced with a test. This leaves you with a couple of choices. Generally you leave the question blank or you take a guess. Dorkly has collected examples from people who took another route: giving some of the most wonderful nerdy answers. They may be wrong as far as their teachers are concerned, but in our world, they’re perfect.

Here’s a very comfy and cute way to dress up like your favorite superheroine. You can choose from Batgirl, Supergirl, or Wonder Woman in a caped romper design. The capes attach at the shoulder with buttons and Wonder Woman and Batgirl also get a hood to complete the look. There’s also one for Harley Quinn if you want to channel your inner crazy villain.

This Falcon cosplay features Fashionably Geek reader Deshon (aka Cue, aka Falcon). in a costume that he created for Wizard World Comic Con this past August. He did a great job on the overall look, but the money shot is when he opens up the wings. They’re absolutely huge and they look just amazing.

Leanna is like a lot of little girls. She’s five-years-old and loves superheroes. Unfortunately, when she wore her superhero t-shirts to kindergarten, boys in her class tell her that superheroes are “for boys.” That’s when her seven-year-old sister Adalina stepped in. She declared October 1st to be Wear Your Superheroes Day – a day for boys and girls of all ages to wear superhero clothing.

It started with a Facebook event, and over 2,000 people RSVP’d. Participants posted pics on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #WearYourSuperheroes. Organizers Tom Nagel, Stacy Brannan-Smith, and Mindy Ellis Nagel posted the following on the Facebook event:

To everyone who shared their #WearYourSuperheroes photos and words of encouragement for Adalina and Leanna: Thank you so much! To say that we are overwhelmed by your response would be an extraordinary understatement.

Although I don’t think they totally understand the impact that their idea had, or just how many people came together to support them, I can say with certainty that the girls had a blast today. More importantly, you helped us achieve our goal of enabling Leanna to “wear her superheroes” with confidence!

After talking with her this evening, I realized that she didn’t see this day as being about her. It was simply a celebration. She told me that she was excited that everyone got to dress up as their favorite superhero, and I could tell how happy she was that there were so many other people who share her interests.

They’ve created a website for the event, and they’re not done. They plan to continue hosting events, including something for Halloween. You can keep up with the latest at their Facebook page.

Female geek friendly apparel has come such a long way that it almost hurts my neck from whiplash when I see something this…bad.

The Superman version first came to my attention thanks to a tweet by fellow Fashionably Geek contributor Alan Kistler (thank you Alan!) which cut pretty much to the heart of why they were so…icky. Apparently,  Wonder Woman is a thing to win and girls can only grow up to be Batman’s wife. Amazingly, someone at DC approved these designs.

It’s a bummer because there are a lot of licensed tees out there that empower women to BE the superhero instead of belonging to one.

In this day and age, it’s too bad that these these regressions still happen. However, I content myself with the knowledge that, overall, things are better than they used to be and that we’re making strides all the time.

Remember when we showed you these fantastic, comic book-inspired swimsuit designs by Suckers Apparel?

They’re available for order now and they look even better than we expected.

Each suit is hand made to order and they also do plus size and custom orders with no additional charges, which is amazing for some of us fuller figured gals.

As this is considered a “soft launch”, the suits will be available until October 10th. They do plan to be fully up and running later in 2015, with these suits and much more.

When the Halloween costume shop in your area doesn’t have the costume you want, it’s time to get crafty. That’s what Katie did when she couldn’t locate a Raven outfit for her daughter. The costume they made looks awesome, and the little girl is so wonderful as Teen Titans’ Raven that I can’t even deal with it.
