Tim Gunn on Star Trek Fashion

Gather ’round, nerds: (Amelia, that means you!) Tim Gunn sat down with the web series Crazy Sexy Geeks for a trés serious critique of “Star Trek” fashion. It’s still interesting even if, like me, you could care less about “Star Trek” because the host is a fountain of information about the costuming decisions for the “Star Trek,” especially when it came to dressing the women to appear more “sexy” out in space.

Oh, and there’s some really obvious space-peen. That never hurts. [The Mary Sue]

I Hereby Challenge Mila Kunis To A Trekkie Trivia Throwdown

In the last week, I have learned two pieces of valuable information about Mila Kunis. The first is that she is generous with her time and is willing to spend it with the commonfolk. For example, she is attending the Marine Corps. Ball with one of our men in uniform, simply because he asked her via YouTube video.

The second thing I learned about the star of “Black Swan” and “Friends With Benefits” is that she is a huge “Star Trek” fan. She told GQ:

“I’m a massive Trekkie. I got into it later than most people. But let’s not talk about it in the past tense. I’m still a ‘Star Trek’ fan. You never stop being one. Let me give you my rundown of the series in order of most favorite to least favorite.”

She then proceeded to list them thusly: “The Next Generation,” Original Series, “Voyager,” “Deep Space Nine,” and “Enterprise.” She also said that she has a signed photo of Leonard Nimoy and “Star Trek” figurines (given to her by Jason Segal). Mila Kunis, you didn’t know it when you gave this interview, but the gauntlet has been thrown.

I, Amelia McDonell-Parry, would like to challenge you, Mila Kunis, to a “Trekkie Trivia Throwdown.” Keep reading »

Trekkies Have Heavy Flow Days Too

Always seems to be after a rather niche demographic with this print ad for their maxi pads with wings — “Star Trek” fans. Because nothing takes the fun out of a Trekkie convention than waiting in line for the bathroom to change a leaky pad. [Copyranter] Keep reading »

He Can Be The Captain Of Our Love Boat

December’s GQ is the magazine’s “Men of the Year” issue and they’re celebrating with multiple covers. This one is my favorite, featuring the hottest Captain Kirk since, well, William Shatner, “Star Trek”‘s Chris Pine, as their pick for Breakout of the Year. Check out their other covers for men of the year here. Keep reading »

Guess That Fan Fiction, Win Nerd Respect!

My best friend once made the mistake of telling me that she had written “Buffy” fan fiction when she was younger and I mercilessly teased her for years, even though it was that nerdy center that endeared her to me in the first place. Some of you may not be familiar with the steamy underground world of fan fiction where devoted fans think up (often sexy) scenarios for their favorite characters. For fun, we’ve rounded up six fanfic excerpts and taken out the nouns so you can guess which show/book/movie they are based on. Guess all six correctly and win … dork credibility? Keep reading »

A Dream Wedding For Star Trek Fans

Destination weddings are all the rage in this recession, and now one lucky couple will get to live long and prosper with a “Star Trek” wedding of their dreams. The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia is holding a contest to find a couple who wants to be married or renew their vows on the bridge of the Enterprise inside a Star Trek exhibit at the Institute. The deadline to apply is June 24, so engaged Trekkies, you’d better hurry up and submit a photo and paragraph explaining why you’d want to say “I do” on the Enterprise. Sadly, we doubt Chris Pine will be able to make it to the ceremony. [Franklin Institute via Luxist] Keep reading »

Trekkie Bukkake: Spock Gets, Uh, Wet

I don’t know what there is to say about this random music video, featuring New Spock, Zachary Quinto, dripping with some sort of milky substance. It’s sexy, but also, WTF? [via Buzzfeed] Keep reading »

Quickies!: The Return Of Boy George

  • Prison seemed to do Boy George’s body well. He emerged from prison on Monday with a bounce in his step and looking significantly slimmer. [PopEater]
  • Could Katie Holmes be the woman who recently filed for divorce in this blind item? [Dlisted] — If she is, then there goes her career.
  • Heidi Klum and Seal’s white trash-themed wedding ceremony isn’t that novel of an idea, but it does highlight fashion’s current love affair with everything trailer park. [Refinery 29]

    Who IS Chris Pine, Anyway?

    Oh, Chris Pine. Simcha and I are so sorry for doubting you. We didn’t think you had the brawny hotness to play Captain Kirk. We thought you were too pretty to battle the Romulans and woo the ladies with your rough, raw male charisma. But we were wrong. Oh. So. Wrong. Pine captures the essence of Captain Kirk without resorting to a Shatner impersonation, and he brings a whole new level of sexiness to the notorious ladies man character. For long time fans and new converts alike, here’s everything there is to know about the delicious Chris Pine.
