boomqueen: (Oh crap fangirls - Logan)

Sometimes I am amazed at my own capacity for nerdiness

So after seeing [livejournal.com profile] proggrrl's pretty BSG tote, I did a little cruising on cafepress.com myself and wound up buying a few tee's.

This one is based on a design by [livejournal.com profile] doomcrayon from last year's hiatus, but I've been meaning to make into a t-shirt since I first saw it.




Not sure who to credit for this one, but it's cute and fake-sporty looking--it'll match quite nicely with my Gryffindor House and UC Sunnydale tank tops ;) I like the stealth nerd shirts (where you have to be a fan to get it).




Again, it's all about the inside jokes. I couldn't quite bring myself to order "What Would Starbuck Do?", or "Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny: Farewell Tour", or "I'd Frak Starbuck". But this will serve nicely as my official I-want-to-have-Kara's-babies fangirl t-shirt.




Even cuter than my nerdy Buffy and Veronica Mars tee's of yore, if I do say so myself.

Oh, those are awesome (although, man, I think "Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny: Farewell Tour" is awesome; I might have to go be nerdy and hunt that down).

Speaking of Starbuck, when does Bionic Woman come on? I'm totally psyched to catch it.

Also, crazy child, why are you up so late? (unless my time zones are really off. . .)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
The "Special Destiny" one is a good idea, but I wasn't sold on any of the graphics people had come up for it on cafepress. Maybe some brilliant graphics fangirl on LJ will come up with a better design...

Dude, I don't know when Bionic Woman comes on, but I am so there! Have you seen how AMAZINGLY HOT my girl looks in it?!?

Your time zones are right. I've just been crazy staying-up-way-too-late girl for the last week or so. Maybe it'll pay off next week when our time zone is way later? 1 hour or 2 hours later? Can't remember...

God bless the IMDB! It says Bionic Woman will air in late September. Thank god--this bloody hiatus is eating my brain...

Hee, awesome, thanks for the heads up on bionic woman. I haven't really seen much of the promo work for it - what I saw was focusing on the woman who becomes the bionic woman. I'll go hunt down the cool pics. . .

As for DC, I think it's one hour difference from you, three for me (whee, totally messed up! just in time to start the new job!).

Wow, those are cute!

Thanks, K :)

you are definitely a fangirl :)

cute tops. I remember seeing the icon for the first one around the 'net.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
you are definitely a fangirl :)

Too true. It's taken me a while, but I'm now willing to own my crazy fangirlness in the right contexts. And who can resist cute tee's in the summertime?

akglakfksdbfs..; *runs to order*

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay for inspiring other fannish purchases!

*g* Which ones are you getting?

[identity profile] hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! No idea. I think I like the one with the mandala. I just wanna be fangirly prepared for D*Con. Plus they're really pretty!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeek, D-Con! I'm so jealous :) Yes, you must definitely be properly attired in your best fangirl goodies!

[identity profile] etilia76.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The toaster T-shirt is awesome and hilarious. Great stuff :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks :) I toyed around with the idea of getting the toaster design on a red ringer, but I know I always wear my black tee's more than anything else so I went with that in the end.

[identity profile] nytel.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
These are fantastic! Damn. If only I had my own credit card, I would have so much BSG paraphernalia by now. Lol.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, cafepress is a highly tempting place to waste...er, spend a whole bunch of money. And BSG goodies are doubly tempting!

[identity profile] dionusia.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, excellent. I may just have to copy you and order some of those myself.

Although I wish there was a "Raptors are for Lovers" tee too. ;)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Raptors are for Lovers" is awesome! There are so many possibilities for great slogans ;)

I think you and [livejournal.com profile] canadiangirl_86 should totally have a contest/challenge on [livejournal.com profile] sasa_hq for designs that could be t-shirt'd on cafepress. Maybe one contest for slogans/phrases only and another for graphics?

Think of all the fun!

[identity profile] dionusia.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, that's a great idea -- I could do it, or you could post it yourself. I volunteer to buy the winner the winning shirt as a prize. :D

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
oooh, will do! You're so generous darling :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks to your bad influence I have officially pimped the t-shirt design idea on your comm (and I'll gladly split the prize cost with you darling!). Wheeeeeeee for challenges!

[identity profile] lucyparavel.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
*G* I love all of these! How fun. I'm tempted to buy some myself and I have a firm no designs on clothing policy.

The mandela one is my favorite I think!

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
The mandela one is my favorite I think!

Me too! It's pretty all by itself, even without the seekrit fangirl nerdy factor.

[identity profile] proggrrl.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
*swoon*

Wow those are great tees! Can I be a big pain and ask for direct links to those on cafepress? I too am a big fan of stealth-fangirl wear...

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The Eye of Jupiter/Mandala design is here (http://www.cafepress.com/buy/battlestar+galactica/-/pv_design_details/pg_1/id_19241862/opt_/fpt_/c_360/).

The Toasters design is here (http://www.cafepress.com/buy/battlestar+galactica/-/pv_design_details/pg_1/id_17863580/opt_/fpt_/c_360/).

And the New Caprica one I custom-made on cafepress through the build your own apparel function (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/?id=5). I snagged [livejournal.com profile] doomcrayon's original hi-res design here (http://doomcrayon.livejournal.com/37267.html) and then uploaded it to cafepress.

Enjoy!

OMG you rock. Thanks!

[identity profile] canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That? Is amazing. Hee.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Thanks :)

[identity profile] lunar47.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
so for all my nerdiness I can't believe that I don't own any bsg t-shirts, that is a crime. You posting the cafepress website is also a crime considering the now considerable hole in my wallet. lol :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Once you start buying nerdy t-shirts, it's hard to stop! And for a graphically inclined genius such as yourself, the possibilities on cafepress are endless because you can put your own graphics on anything!!!

But, yes, money. At least I haven't gotten sucked into buying figurines or playing cards or other paraphernalia of any of my fandoms yet--cuz that shit is wayyyyyy expensive.

[identity profile] alissabobissa.livejournal.com 2007-06-17 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! I really love those, especially the first one. I have one from cafepress.com that says 'CAG' on it and one I designed myself featuring Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny. That place is awesome, and I've been avoiding it for the last month because I know I will spend so much money that I don't have. :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
thanks--that first design is what started the mini shopping spree because I love it so! I was seriously tempted by some of the "special destiny" ones...because it is definitely way to easy to blow a whole bunch of money there ;)

[identity profile] dragonchariot.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
J'aime bien les tshirts.

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks darling! Just glad you're still willing to be seen in public with my uber-nerdy self...

[personal profile] nebakanezer 2007-06-18 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Your nerdiness is teh awesome and why I adore you so!!!

I finally got my ticket! So you can't change your mind now! *g*

Long before Cafe Press I had a 'Chris in the Morning' t.shirt from Northern Exposure, and a 'Smelly Cat' one from Friends. :)

I had so much BSG stuff picked out at Cafe Press last year and was going to spend tons of $ on gifts and for me and I just walked away cold. I haven't been back since :)

[identity profile] boom-queen.livejournal.com 2007-06-18 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay for ticket!!!!!!! *spastic happy dancing* DUDE. We are going to have so much fun. Can't wait :D

I've done the shop and ditch with cafepress several times myself because it accummulates so frakkin fast! But this time I justified it:

"but I don't HAVE any bsg shirts and that's just a crime because I'm hello-omg-obsessed so I must buy teh tee's!!!" or something like that. I let myself get sucked it ;)

[identity profile] nekdlove.livejournal.com 2007-06-25 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't mind a BSG t-shirt, but I want the one Kristen from Ask Kristen on E-online had when she interviewed the bsg cast "I love Apollo". If I can't have him I might as well have the t-shirt, right?

Found it! here (http://www.cafepress.com/buy/apollo+battlestar+galactica/-/pv_design_details/pg_2/id_14470685/opt_/fpt_/c_360/)!
