Origins of a GirlHack Posted by girl

By girl.

Last weekend I went home to Minnesota and found many examples of things a girlhack girl would have in their room. A.K.A. the juxtaposition of girly and geeky things next to each other. I forgot to snap the picture of SNES games next to workout videos in the basement, the Star Wars figures next to the American Girl dolls, or the Ethernet card manual in my bathroom draw next to hair ribbons, but you can enjoy the pictures below!

I learned well... Two web books I learned HTML from (copyright 1997!!!) and two film books next to each other.

Master Shake Floppy A clay master shake I made next to a store bought one in front of wine glasses from Tiffany’s on the top shelf. On the bottom shelf, my token old floppy disk still kickin’ it.

The box for the wine glasses (a 21st b-day present from one of my sisters). I’d also like to point out that the DDR pad was purchased on eBay with a PS2/USB adapater so I could use the open source version of DDR on my mac and not buy the game or a PS2.
Both great soundtracks.

Girls don’t keep their geek junk/cords in a box or drawer… they go in a bag!

One day, when someone besides Cheston reads this, I would love for other girls to share wild findings of “girlhack.”

    Aren’t HTML and film books both geeky? Different geeky, I guess. My Star Wars VHS are between Ever After and my boxed set of Audrey Hepburn.

    How far can you take this?

  2. Cheston Says:

    I am reading this! Super Cute!

  3. Rick Says:

    both soundtracks kick ass.

  4. Bill Says:

    Hahah I agree with Amy, film books are geeky too. If it was like, “Grandma’s book of how to be a pretty girl” then maybe that would be girly. Also, Brittney thinks you’re more girly than her but I disagreed. She was a cheerleader and you played softball…

    Ha okay, fair enough about the film and HTML books. I guess it’s that one of the film books is “CINETHERPY” and it’s all about like sappy girly movies for times when you boyfriend is being a jerk or you just want to eat chocolate all day.

This is a website for girls who want to be more geeky... and geeky girls who want to be more girly. I'm ramping up for the podcast right now and currently filming the month of July. If you wanna just keep up with me and what I'm doing on a day to day basis check out my Twitter
