Meeting more celebrities at the Star Trek show: Virginia Hey
So yesterday I posted about meeting the very cool Vernon Wells from The Road Warrior. He had a table right next to my booth. Directly across from me was the stunning Virginia Hey. I was surprised to learn she was also in the Road Warrior as the hot blond girl with the compound bow on the back of the tanker truck, but I immediately recognized her as Pa’u Zotoh Zhaan, the super hot blue, bald alien girl from the first season of Farscape.
It’s fair to say I enjoyed a few blue skinned fantasies about her while watching the show. She just oozes sex appeal on the show. Unfortunately this Logo shirt is the only Farscape shirt I stock (courtesy of the television show t-shirt section). I think had I had some of her shirts she would have signed them.
That gives me a great idea for a new category: hot women of science fiction. Basically every girl I ever fantasized about in science fiction, starting with Princess Leia and ending with the new Uhura from the recent movie (played by Zoe Saldana, who also played the another hot blue alien in Avatar. I think I am starting to see a theme in my fantasies, and to be honest, it disturbs me). Of course, that means I would have to work hard to find a t-shirt from Cherry 2000.
Anyway, Virginia was lovely and hot and made for good eye candy across the hall. She was nice a heck, and let me take a picture with her which I will put up on Facebook when I get the chance. She is also about 5’11”, which makes her even hotter. Turns out she is making these really great soy based candles called Virginia Hey Couture. I am not much of a candle person but they smelled really amazingly nice. They also come in these great cloth gift bags. If you are into candles and smelling nice check them out.
Also, if you are looking for more dating advice, I will probably get back to that after the Warhammer tournament next weekend but take it from me, there is nothing wrong with having some great fragrant candles around in case you get a girl back to your place.
Anyway, Virginia was awesome, and I hope to see her in something else soon. She does a lot of meditation, and seems like a very warm, genuine person.
I have two more celebrities to talk about, so look for more posts later.
A Guide to Nerd Guys Meeting and Dating Women: Dating Etiquette Part 1
OK, you have more or less done everything you need to do to prepare and are looking to actually pick her up and take her out. Let’s talk about behavior while on the date.
First question is do you pick her up or meet her somewhere. Either answer is in general ok, but consider the circumstances carefully. First of all, what kind of car do you drive? Most women will claim to not care what kind of car you drive, and some of them will actually believe that, but secretly in my opinion they do. It’s part of that constant evaluation of your stability and potential partner value that they are running you through the entire time like a continuous feed Scantron of your soul. If the car is a piece of junk then it looks like you don’t have the ability to potentially provide or partner up with her. Also, if your car is beat up, dirty, and has a smell reminiscent of wet dog and ass you will look slovenly.
Also, in my experience women rarely understand what is cool from a nerd perspective (unless you are dating a nerd, in which case you are a lucky bastard) so if you have a “nerd cool” car like a KITT replica (shirt courtesy of the television show t shirt category) or classic Galaxy 500 odds are she will not get the idea and you will diminish in her eyes. Women in general like it when your car blends in with all the other run of the mill junk out there. Sad but true, in my experience.
So, if your car fits into any of those categories, push to meet her somewhere. If you have a “normal” car you can ask to pick her up. Don’t push too hard, because you are asking her to trust you enough to tell you her address. If she has you pick her up that means she trusts you somewhat. This is a good sign. If she doesn’t don’t sweat it. Odds are she doesn’t trust any guys (not necessarily a bad policy for women, given a lot of the guys I know).
Best way I have found to ask if I could pick her up is something like this:
“So, do you want to meet somewhere in the modern method or go more traditional and I can pick you up”
Work on the deliver, but this generally works. Even if she doesn’t want to have you pick up, she will laugh.
A Guide to Nerd Guys Meeting and Dating Women: Introduction
So if you have been reading my blog you will know that for the most part I have been writing about what’s going on or about whatever’s crossed my mind. But recently I’ve been thinking about where to take my blog in an “organized” manner. I was talking with a friend last night and was reminded of one thing I can share with my nerd friends, and that is meeting women.
“Wait a minute” I am sure you are thinking. “Don’t most of your blogs and shirt descriptions talk about how you didn’t date at all in high school or college and are constantly being rejected?” That is pretty much true (this Buffy t-shirt from the television show t shirts is a good example of this) but I the truth is I am qualified to speak on this subject for two reasons:
1. The best way to learn something it to fail at it. I learn to be a better Warhammer player more from losing games than winning them. The best way to learn something is the hard way, and trust me, when it comes to dating I have done everything the hard way.
2. Most of those stories is about me getting rejected after dating someone for a while. The fact is I am actually good at meeting women and getting them to go out with me a couple times. The problem is I am a lousy boyfriend and get dumped by them all. So if you are looking for advice on how to maintain a happy relationship you will have to go somewhere else, as I am not at all qualified.
So I will give you my hard earned tips in hopes that you will glean something and potentially procreate, as I am afraid the human race is breeding itself to stupidity as an Idiocracy.
Next post: How I got mixed up in this.
Traveling down irrelevant tangents.
So I have been know to go off on irrelevant tangents in the past, but I think I hit a new high while working on this new Spider-Man t-shirt for the Spiderman t shirt section. Unfortunately I lost the full sized image, but will shoot another one tonight.
I really enjoy going off in weird directions on my descriptions. It is a very freeing experience. I start off on one thing but then it reminds me of something else and next thing you know I am talking about something completely irrelevant (yet, I hope, entertaining). For example, on this shirt I started off on the shirt itself and ended up discussing the issues I have with the surf industry. It all kind of makes sense when you read it.
Other than that, I have ordered a ton of replacement shirts. As soon as they arrive I will be doing some new stuff that I hope will help out a lot with promotions. I’m sure I’ll talk about it soon.
