Bow TIE Fighters: For Dark Side Black Tie Affairs

Because what else would you wear to the Galactic Federation’s next fundraising ball, these are the Bow TIE Fighters made and sold by Etsy shop Kilted Katana. I can already close my eyes and hear my wife asking me to please pick a different tie and put my lightsaber replica away before leaving for her cousin’s wedding.

Available in three different TIE fighters (classic, TIE Interceptor, TIE Advanced) and three different tie options (neck band, clip-on, or hair tie), Bow Tie Fighters cost $20 apiece and are sure to let people know you’re as classy as James Bond, but can also quote the majority of the original Star Wars trilogy.

Nice, but where’s the X-wing bow tie to match? I mean how are a friend and I supposed to run around pretending we’re locked in space battle if we’re both wearing TIE fighters? We’re on the same side! Also, ten dollars says my bow TIE fighter magically disappears from the closet prior to my wife’s company Christmas party this year.

8Bit Nintendo Glitch Screen Scarves

glitch scarf 8Bit Nintendo Glitch Screen Scarves
No matter how much you blow on these scarves, they’re still going to be glitchy. These 8bit scarves from Glitchaus by Jeff Donaldson are designed based on a pattern from a composite screen capture from the short circuit screen from the Nintendo Entertainment System. Those pixel errors look a lot better on a person than on the screen- and certainly less frustrating- argh!

Jeff keeps a 1:1 pixel to knot ratio (which btw is one my top 3 ratios after the Golden Ratio and 2:1). He also has some 16 and 32 bit designs. Each scarf is hand knit to order and available in pre-selected or custom color choices for $75-95.

Geek Chic Bubble Bobble Flats

Oh Bubble Bobble, how much time I’ve spent blowing and bursting bubbles, avoiding demons and collecting fruits and diamonds.

This old school game brings so many good memories; They just don’t make them like they used to do. On the bright side, I’m glad to see the game is still inspiring people to do creative things, like these sweet blue bubbly flats.

R2-D2 Flash Drive Cufflinks

r2d2 cufflinks 650x650 R2 D2 Flash Drive Cufflinks
It’s geeky, formal, and useful all in one with the R2-D2 Flash Drive Cufflinks. It’s very James Bond-esque to have flash storage on your cuffs- if James Bond was a Star Wars fan (I doubt Mr. Bond would last more than a minute at the Cantina with his stupid shaken, not stirred drink order). Here’s how they look on a shirt:

Every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man. And every man would have to be crazy to spend $200 on a pair of officially licensed Star Wars cufflinks like these. You do get 2GB of storage in each silver plated cufflink for that money, but still. (via geek alerts)
