Geek Pride Day: 2021

 May 25th is Geek Pride Day, which according to the internet is a 'holiday celebrating geek culture'. For fans of English born, science-fiction author Douglas Adams, May 25th is also known as Towel Day, a reference to Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. I decided to take inspiration from Douglas Adams for this year's Geek Pride Day photo shoot.

Here we have Ken playing the role of Arthur Dent, the bathrobe wearing protagonist of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 'who really knows where his towel is'. The Superman symbols on the bathrobe are a bit of geeky fandom crossover on my part. That, and the colors coordinate with the towel pretty well.

This second photo is just for fun. I recently purchased a one-sixth scale BB-8 secondhand, and gosh darn it, I was gonna use him. But I only have two Star Wars dolls/sixth scale action figures in my collection at present, and I've already used Sabine for more than one Star Wars Day photo shoot. As for Han well, Fashion Doll Memoirs readers just saw him earlier this month in my 2021 Star Wars Day photo. And when I suggested doing another photo shoot with BB-8, Han wouldn't go for it. He told me he doesn't do 'cute', and not even BB-8 himself managed to win Han over.

The little droid does look a bit out of scale with 'Arthur' in the picture, since BB-8's coming up from behind and is some distance away.

BB-8 crossing the sands of Jakku (or as my brother calls it, 'not-Tatooine')

Happy Geek Pride Day to any geeks out there. May the Force be with you, Live long and prosper, Stay shiny, and above all, Don't Panic. I think that last one is especially fitting for the current times. Thank you Douglas Adams.

Geek Pride Day Photo Shoot (featuring Mulder, Scully, and K9)

Happy Geek Pride Day, friends and visitors! This is Treesa. I'm happy to report that the weather cooperated enough earlier this week for me to take some dolls outdoors for a special Geek Pride Day photo shoot. Scully and Mulder are from the Barbie and Ken X-Files Giftset, and K9 was originally a Doctor Who Christmas tree ornament from a store called Five Below. Hope you enjoy.

(Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully travel deep into the Pennsylvania woods, investigating reports of an unexplained flashing light accompanied by a strange 'vworp'ing sound.)

(Little do they know that they are being observed by K9, loyal companion to the Gallifreyan time traveler known only as...The Doctor.)

(Note From Treesa: Sorry, that's all I've got. I didn't have a doll who could've pulled off playing The Doctor. Costuming would've been a problem too.)

Celebrating Geek Pride Day

Hello friends and visitors. This is Treesa, wishing you all a happy Geek Pride Day. When I first found out about the existence of Geek Pride Day I was all for it. I like the idea of a day where devotees from various fandoms can come together to celebrate all things geeky.

I was planning to do a special photo shoot this week for today's post, but it wouldn't stop raining. So here are a couple of geeky photos from the archives.

Misty with Tom Servo (Mystery Science Theater 3000)

Carrie with R2D2 (Star Wars)

Thanks for stopping by.
