Episode 1: The Origins of 'Geek Chic'

As with all good problem solving we can begin to understand my meaning by breaking my title down into its significant parts;

Geek – This is me, at your scientific service. Science in every shape and form shapes my life and everything in it, something I have in common with the rest of the human race BUT we define my differences with;

Chic – I want to understand the inner workings of the world and intend to look fabulous while doing it. Fashion fulfils those ‘superficial’ needs of life which, trapped in labs of varying degrees, creatures known as scientists easily forget! Just because you have a white coat on doesn’t mean I can't see that ill founded idea of an outfit underneath!!

Finally,
Endeavours – I will endeavour to enlighten your life by bringing to your attention (and hopefully understanding) the daily joys and comic detail that scientific discoveries and facts bring to me. And because humans are a wonderfully multifaceted race I will spice it up with the delectably glamorous life of fashion.

You might think “Hold up!! Have you been taking or testing those drugs in your lab??”. The answer is no I’m not ‘cool’ enough to have tried any of the drugs I frequently test others for and I fully believe you can be a nerd and enjoy a stiletto, where do you think Geek Chic came from??

Moi.  I am the embodiment of this delightful phrase. So whether you’re reading this because you are a Pageant Queen or a President of Science club, enjoy my friends. (I’ve been both by the way...)
