As always, I try to keep an eye out for some rather unique geeky club clothes, and while there hasn’t been anything incredible, I did spot these two.  I’m not exactly sure which one I like more.  Also, you might be one of the first (or few) gay men that actually own one.

I think the Darth Vader one would stand out more.

Yes, we all love our vampires, and we are even enjoying the HBO Series: True Blood.   Who took Bill????  Some of us are even planning a social event with friends to watch the premiere of season 3.   (I wish someone would invite me to one.  sniff, sniff.)  So, if you happen to be the queen socialite planning for such an occasion, I stumbled across something PERFECT f0r your party.  TRU BLOOD SODA!

If you follow the link to the HBO site, you can order a set of 4 or even a pack of 24.  I would order 4 and not share.  Instead, I would simply offer everyone a drink, and once they have theirs, you saunter into the kitchen, retrieve your Tru Blood, and then join the party.   Party envy is good for everyone.

Truthfully, I think it would have been fun to make it as a Bloody Mary mix.  Now, that would have worked.  Tru Bloody Mary.

In this ongoing series of fashion advice, I will point out those items that are clearly unacceptable.  I’m not saying that you can’t own them or that you can’t wear them to a convention or on Halloween.  BUT – you can not wear them out to dinner, clubbing, or other public event where some queens will most definitely be giving you the once over.

However, as the gay community tends to set trends, we might have a chance to convert enough people to actually start wearing them, but then they are no longer special.  So with that in mind, these are a no, no.  Get them.  Enjoy them.  Just don’t be spotted wearing one in public.

The first such item is the Star Trek Metallic Division Badges.  You have the option of the command, engineering, medical or science badge.  Just remember, engineers are always the first to go.  At $9.95 each, you might even pick up all four.   Just give the engineer badge to the queen you are trying to dump.  Maybe he will catch on.

Yes, I’m still watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I haven’t missed a beat, and I even set the DVR to record new episodes.   Why?  I don’t know.   The characters all have perfect hair, great teeth, and speak as if they were from old Victorian Era England.  What’s that all about?  And while we are on the topic, why are all of the Romans from England?  They sure look and act like it.   Shouldn’t it have had a more Latin culture?  Yes?  No?

So, once you get past the gratuitous blood, perfect haircuts, weekly nod to violent acts of death, and “sexcapades”, your not really even left with that much of a story.   In fact, they even killed off the one dangling plot, which was the return of his wife.

Despite all of that, I’m still recording Spartacus.  I’m still watching it.  BUT, I have an excuse!  Geeks tend to watch bad TV anyway.

Yeah, that’s the reason that I am still watching it.

Updated: Don’t worry, I didn’t put any spoilers in the post.

I just got Blackest Night #7 in the Mail.  (Thank you, Best Comics)  I don’t want to ruin the ending, but……   And I don’t want to tell you that I wasn’t looking forward to Brightest Day, but……  However, I will say this.  Another Lantern prophecy has been fulfilled.  Take that all of you non-believers.

Updated:  Found these pics, and I guess that I had to spill the beans.  This is what I am talking about.  Sinestro – Brightest Day – White Lantern.  Look for his next appearance in Green Lantern #52.

Had to make a trip out to San Fran for work, which put me behind on certain shows and other geeky items. Hopefully, I can provide you with some form of an update tomorrow. Cheers.

Robert (“The Brother-In-Law”) is a die-hard Umbrella Academy fan, and I wasn’t sure if he had seen this set or not.  Now, while I enjoyed the series, Robert will go on and on and on about its sheer greatness.   Just kidding.

Anyway, if you haven’t read the series, you should pick it up; however, if you are like Robert, you might want to consider picking up the collector’s watch and statue.

Right now, I am hooked on several different crossovers, and while I was hoping that after these, things would slow down — they only look to be picking up.

• Blackest Night – Great series.  Great story.  While I am interested in seeing how Hal Jordan will save the day, I am really interested in seeing the aftermath.  Who stays and who goes.  What are the final ramifications.
• Siege - Pretty good story; however, it is l0oking to have some incredible battles.  This one is really about the battle and who survives.  I’m not so interested in the aftermath…..yet.  I am interested in seeing the Avengers (and a few others) really kicking some ass.
• Fall of the Hulks – While I have never been a fan of the Hulk characters, I am getting pulled into this one.  It has a decent story and explanation as to what is happening; however, this is not a MUST read.  I am merely enjoying the storyline.

Looking forward to a few others.

• Doomwar - Doom has always been one of my all-time favorite villains; however, I never thought that they made him ‘bad enough.’   With science, sorcery, a kingdom, robots, and a wicked intelligence to boot, the only thing that EVER should bring Dr. Doom down is his own arrogance.
• X-Men Second Coming – Don’t know much here, but please, let us hope that they fix everything.  I haven’t enjoyed these characters for quite some time, and I really want to.

There are some other great books and stories out there, but these are the ones that got my attention.

I wouldn’t have said anything about this, but after I saw the Green Lantern Power Battery on “Big Bang Theory”, I realized that this is way too cool.   If you saw the episode, then this battery provides plenty of acceptance by both geeks and non-geeks.  (Or at least that is my theory).

It is a tad on the pricey side ($350.00), but if you are die-hard lantern fan, you just may want to pick this one up. 

Potential Problem – DC Direct may come out with the entire spectrum of lanterns, which would cost a bundle and take up a horrendous amount of space. 

So – Your options are:

1. Buy a bigger home (or move into one)
2. Find a sugar daddy who will buy them for you (with a bigger home)
3. Buy this one to match your Green Lantern one
4. Only buy this one
5. Buy both and hope they come out with the entire series
6. Hold out for the color of choice. 

Whichever way you look at it, this is just too cool.

On sale, October 27, 2010 – but you could always pre-order yours at your local comic store …. or with Tommy at Best Comics.

I’ve been ordering from Best Comics for years, and I even have Tommy listed as one of my friends on Facebook.  (Something I need to do a little more often).  But if you happen to live in NY near Best Comics, swing by and check it out for me.  I’ve never been, but the service there ROCKS.   The team is friendly on the phone.  They know what I like.  And I feel like a kid every time I order from them. 

Drop by and visit them for me, if you live in the area.  If you don’t and you want something unique for your collection, check with Tommy at Best Comics.  He will hunt it down for you – if need be.
