Fashion Funhouse Emporium

I'm not sure how well the first part of "Man Style: Ode to Nerdy Men" went over with you readers, but that's not going to stop me from posting a second one. And maybe, even a third.  Why? Because I love nerds and their style.

I studied film in college and even made my own 8mm black and white film.  What is great about being a freelance stylist is that I can combine both fashion and film. Naturally, when I first saw the show "Science of the Movies" it became one of my favorite shows.

I find myself strangely attracted to the host of the show-- named Nar? His skin is pasty, he talks about achieving "nerdvana" and  I want to take buzz clippers to his over-grown hipster hair cut. Yet, his uncontainable excitement for all things dorky kinda makes me want to take him on a date.  (But I am in a relationship with my own nerd with a penchant for Battlestar Gallactica and the History Channel-- so that wont be happening, Jack)

In one episode of "Science of the Movies", he freaked out while in an MRI machine due to claustrophobia. In another, he is so giddy after crowning a scale model of with the robot head of Bumble Bee the Transformer, you can't help but want to hug him.

Nar has his own blog where he writes about sci-fi and technology. He also hosts, produces, and co-writes the show "Heads Up! with Nar Williams" on CraveOnline. How deliciously dork!

He really tries hard dress hip. Perhaps to offset his sheer geek-a-tude?  But it works for me.  That's why Nar Williams made Fashion Funhouse Emporium's list of "Ode to Nerdy Men".

The Guys of Comedy Central's Fake News Shows

I have to exclude Jon Stewart from this list. He has too much suave and was once a VJ for MTV. But Cambridge University graduate and  "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver, with his crooked teeth and strangely greasy hair is more knowledgeable about America's current news events than Americans.

During an interview with the Gothamist, speaking on how his perception of America changed upon moving here, John Oliver said " It’s been interesting being on the inside looking out. I don’t think the rest of the world appreciates just how divided this country is. America is presented to us foreigners very much as a united front, which clearly couldn’t be further from the truth. And this is where the current worrying trend of anti-Americanism is fostered – it is too easy to forget that not only do many people here have to live with a president whom they didn’t elect, but they also have to live with the people who did. That this country has not once more erupted into civil war shows admirable restraint. It does seem a shame that some of the most wonderful things this nation was built on – free speech, a questioning of authority, and non conformity have somehow been twisted into being labeled ‘Un-American’.

I give honorable mention to Stephen Colbert.  He's older, married and  his classic anchorman hair is hard to get past, but when he laughs at his own jokes, it melts my heart.

There once was a time when women with mud matted-hair looked for a neanderthal man that could club a saber-toothed wart hog like creature, one that could literally bring home the prehistoric bacon.

I'd like to think we ladies have evolved away from the "unga bunga" phase. Though, there are still some women who are attracted to strictly athletes and meat heads. Perhaps the crushing of Budweiser bottles across the forehead symbolizes some sort of extraordinary protective strengths.

For me though, nothing is sexier than a man who can talk physics, psychology and in general, demonstrate superior intellect over his fellow men.  Really, only a small percentage of beef cakes will go on to make millions in the NFL.  A man that can geek it out, in my opinion has much more promise.  Before I catch flack from all the feminists out there, I'm not just talking about monetary gains.  Its the ability to hold a conversation that captures my interests, challenges what I think I know and if we're considering carrying on the human race, I would prefer egg-head children.

Though, I don't know if the clothing makes the man, there is something attractive about that quirky psusdo nerd style.  So here is an ode to my favorite geeky guys and their eccentric styles.

Pharrell Williams

"Just like working in the studio or being with the girl I love. Things just need to fit naturally. Fashion's more about feel than science." Pharell told Esquire. Its been some time since making the magazine's "21 Best Dressed Men in the World" in 2005

Before Kayne West started wearing bow ties, dark-rimmed glasses and proclaiming himself style star, there was Pharrell.  You can thank him for bringing Polo shirts, cable-knit sweaters and non-ass baring pants into hip-hop.

Right now, some of you might be saying, Pharrell is a producer and musician. How does that qualify him to be listed here? Well, aside from the fact that he's the go-to successful hit maker for some of the world's biggest names in pop music like Jay Z, Snoop Dog, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, according to his wikipedia bio, he is a fan of Carl Sagan, astronomer, astrochemist and Pulitzer Prize winning non fiction writer.  Oh, and he even attended band camp during high school summer break. *cough* Geek *cough*

Dr. Who

I don't know much about the actor, David Tennant, who plays Dr. Who in the BBC's same titled television series about a time traveling alien. His space ship is a 1950's style London police box. Is it weird that I'm getting a excited after typing those last few sentences?  Anyway, most of the time I have no f*cking idea whats going on during the hour long adventures, but it doesn't matter because Im distracted by the the squirrely peculiar doctor.  Its not the actor himself, but the odd, messy-haired character wearing tailored tweeds, ties and raggedy ivory Converse All-Stars, delivering lines such as "I battle with monsters."
