Geek Gorgeous

The "women of technology" Geek Gorgeous 2006 Wall Calendar addresses both an important market niche and an underserved style tribe.

The calendar showcases young ladies who are not only beautiful and stylish, but can also fix your computer, normalize your databases, discuss the advantages of polymorphism, and beat you at Doom.

Take Neta, for example: "Neta conducts her experiments by writing applications in Macromedia Flash using ActionScript 2.0, an object-oriented ECMA scripting language whose event listener model and data binding classes allow for an implementation of robust Model-View-Controller architecture." Object-oriented ECMA scripting language... so hot.

Comments

I think this calendar supports a systemic and misogynist matriarchal agenda by falsely objectifying smart men as socially awkward, fashion-impaired nerds who could not otherwise have a shot at seeing a woman with most of her clothes off.

If you know what I'm sayin'

I have to show considerable care in making further comment on this one. Just to say I thoroughly enjoy ogling a particular someone who can fix my computer, normalize my databases and discuss the advantages of polymorphism. Though my relative Doom skillz have yet to be put to the test.
