This is a very special episode that we're very excited to finally be able to present to you. For the past few years, we've been hitting the con circuit with a panel called Building Your Own Themyscira (Thank you, Chavon Coleman, for being the brains behind this!). We have a rotating lineup of guests who talk about networking in their niche, building community, and actually supporting each other. We were finally able to record this for real at San Diego Comic Con, and we're so excited to finally share this with you! Please follow and show love to our amazing panelists: Jordan Dené Ellis Owner of Jordandené, co-editor of The Sartorial Geek www.jordandene.com www.sartorialgeek.com @jordandenenyc @sartorialgeek Robyn Warren Owner of Geek Girl Strong www.geekgirlstrong.com @geekgirlstrong Rose Del Vecchio Co-founder of Fan Mail Box and Charmed: Box of Shadows www.myfanmail.com www.theboxofshadows.com @fanmailbox @theboxofshadows Che Grayson Writer, filmmaker, and creator of Magic Hour www.chegrayson.com www.magichourtv.com @cheinwonderland @magichourtv Jazzlyn Stone Former COO of Bombsheller www.jazzlynstone.com @jazzlynstone Taylor Deatherage Owner and designer at LoganArch, convention manager for Chicago TARDIS www.loganarchchicago.com @theyseekherthere @loganarchchicago @chicagotardis Join our Patreon for bonus gifts and content!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/sartorial-geek.

LIFESTYLE: I sit down with TURBO GEEK @JazzlynStone of @Bombsheller, a hyper-local Seattle business specializing in custom made-to-order leggings. In-house design, printing, sewing, and more all occur in their Lower Queen Anne location. They offer sizes ranging from XS to 6X. You can design your own, or choose from a large selection of pre-made prints. We discuss the big news recently coming from the company. Their LAST pop-up sale will be on Saturday 5/18 from 12pm to 3pm. You want a pair of these, I promise.
This episode is sponsored by LoganArch. Welcome back, Sartorial Geek! This week, we're bringing you an episode all the way from Seattle! We got the chance to hang out at the Bombsheller office and chat with the COO of this awesome company, Jazzlyn Stone. For those of you who haven't heard of them yet, Bombsheller is a Seattle-based startup that prints leggings on-demand. Bombsheller calls their leggings “Shells” because “you are the bomb and the leggings are the shell.” They firmly believe in helping everyone harness their inner badass-ery and disrupting the mainstream fashion industry with a product that is ethically produced and size-inclusive. Shells are available in sizes XS-6X, are all offered at the same price, and tested on real people of all shapes and sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Flip through their website and you'll find there's definitely something for everyone. From officially licensed designs for Bitch Planet and The Wicked & The Divine to collaborations with geek-favorite brands like Espionage Cosmetics, there are over a thousand designs and counting for you to choose from. You can shop Bombsheller “Shells” online at bombsheller.com (and yes, we can guarantee that Jazzlyn will have kissed your package goodbye.) Follow them @thebombsheller on Twitter and @bombsheller on everything else.

This week, we're chatting all things Orphan Black with superfan Miriam Salzman. Not only will our next issue of the magazine feature all things sci-fi and STEAM, but the back to school season is really putting us in the mood for anything science-y. Needless to say, now is the perfect time to binge all five seasons of Orphan Black if you haven't yet. (Even if it's just to distract yourself from the fact that summer's almost over.) Miriam is incredibly passionate about the Orphan Black fandom. She's so passionate, in fact, that she devotes her time to making intricate Orphan Black friendship bracelets and selling them on her Etsy shop, Summer of String. Those same friendship bracelets found their way onto the wrists of the Orphan Black cast and crew and eventually, yes, onto the show itself. Rachel's blue friendship bracelet may have been made by Kira on the show, but in real life, it was made by Miriam! Sound familiar? You may recognize her shop name from an earlier sponsored post on our blog. You can catch Miriam's bracelets on screen in Orphan Black season 5, episodes 7-10. Be sure to keep up with Miriam and Summer of String at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SummerOfString or @summerofstring and #summerofstring on social media. Don't forget that our Kickstarter campaign for issue 003 of the magazine is still live! As of right now, we're more than halfway funded and need your help to reach out goal before September 21st.

This episode is sponsored by Jordandene and Bombsheller. Hi, Sartorial Geeks! We're back, and we've got some more recommendations for you! This month we're discussing: 1. Favorite guilty pleasure TV show (We have little to no shame, so hold on to your butts!) 2. Favorite beach read (Liz's rec is...maybe the worst "beach read" in the history of beach reads, but so it goes.) 3. Favorite horror film (for two self-proclaimed scaredy-cats we have SO MANY horror films to recommend, including one with evil gingerbread men, and Tarantino's take on vampires...) 4. Favorite Twitter account to follow (which turns into a hybrid recommendation because Liz is v bad at Twitter) As always, let us know what else you want us to recommend. You can reach out to us anywhere and everywhere, we're the friendliest humans on the planet! Have a great week, and thanks again for hanging out with us.

From Harry Potter to board game night This episode is sponsored by Jordandene and Bombsheller. Chris and Becca are one of my favorite nerdy couples from college. They're a great photography team (you may have seen some of their photos on the Jordandene website) and also throw THE best themed parties. We talk about their annual Harry Potter holiday party, which is in a different location every year (like the Slytherin dungeon or Weasleys' house) and is complete with paper invites, tons of cosplay, and on point food and drinks. Something I love about Chris and Becca's nerdiness is that they nerd out about different things, or on different levels, but still find a way to do it together. For their themed parties, Chris likes to come up with broad concepts, and Becca gets into the details and actually putting everything together. Becca isn't super into video games, but there are a few that she really likes, and Chris knows to pull those out if they want to play together. Chris likes audiobooks, Becca likes physical books, and they can read through series separately and talk about them as they go. We're on a mission to prove that fans can be different from each other and still love what they love, and Chris and Becca are a great example of that! You can check out their sweet photos on Instagram at www.instagram.com/chrisandbeccaphoto and www.instagram.com/chrisandbeccaboudoir. Have a great week, and thanks again for hanging out with us.

Bombsheller is all about harnessing your potential. Our leggings are the shell that contains the explosive force that is you, whether you be man, woman, or robot. It's your mission to choose the Shells that best reflect (or disguise) the body they contain. We believe in taking action, whether it’s with your head, your hands, or your heart. We believe in experimenting until we find a better way. That’s why we’ve departed from the Old Way of manufacturing to build the factory of the future and put the power of design creation in the hands of the artist. We have yet to discover the limits of human potential. There is more for us to accomplish, collectively and individually. You direct the energy of your life on the adventure of your choosing, making the discoveries and solving the problems that matter to you. Whether you’re changing yourself or changing the world, we’re helping you dress the part.
