Real geek chic or a fake one?
If you google “how to dress like a geek” you’ll get almost a million and half results. At first page you’ll get links such as

In fact, there’s only one rule :
If you’re not a geek – do NOT dress as one. ;)
Ok, you have a crush on that guy from 2nd floor, who keeps watching StarWars although you don’t really get what’s so interesting in watching re-runs. And you’re planing to buy him Wii for his birthday ’cause you think he’s probably broke since he’s playing something called “Commando” on some weired old keyboard attached to his TV.
Wearing fake, big glasses with black frames and colorful PVC bag that looks like a floppy disk is NOT transforming you into a geek chic. It’s not gonna help you get his attention. Buy him cake in a shape of C64 or a shirt, and first of all: LEARN what C64 is.

Oh, yes, how could I possibly forget Commando… :) I broke my very first joystick with that one. Pleasant memories. :)
Anyhoo, I agree with you. There are some things that you just cannot fake. And it’s not that much about the outfit. I believe that “geekitude” comes from within.
And let’s not forget the most important thing here: “All your base are belong to us!!!” :))
Geek on, sis! :)
It was either mentioning Commando in the text or Donkey Kong :)
I was so surprised when I googled “how to dress like a geek”, so many advices for n00bs, I couldn’t believe it! :))
Live long and prosper, sis. :)
