French designer John Nouanesing's "Geekini" Set to Woo the Nerds!

I had to smile at this online post, mainly because I tried to think of how everyone would react to this inventive take on the bikini. French designer John Nouanesing’s “Geekini” (a classic two-piece bikini featuring strategically placed A, B and directional buttons from the original Nintendo controller) is still in the conceptual stage and I think, if I have to be honest, I’m quite sad to hear that.

Yes … yes, I hear you all shout, “what is wrong with you? Can’t you see the exploitation of women in the making of this garment?” and well … yes, I can … but to be honest, I think it’s quite fun and apt! For one, if you’re brave enough to wear a bikini, in general, then you’re brave enough to give the impression that you’re just a game to men, right? Plus … we all know how much our partners LOVE games … so why not give them what they want? YOU wrapped up in a clever game disguise! In that way, you’re sure to get the right buttons pushed! Everybody wins!

However, that being said, in no way do I suggest that this garment was made merely for men’s enjoyment (though I can see the humour in this view point). For all that know me (and this includes my own man) I am considered an uber nerd, and although you may not say it if you see me, give me a few minutes of your time and you will realise just how much so! That being said, I would buy this baby in a jiffy (Which reminds me did you know a jiffy is the duration of one tick of the computer’s system clock.) Yes … yes … I would indeed buy this and wear it proudly. I happen to think it’s quite awesome and I love the connotations it invokes.
