Just read in Time about Hot Chicks Misidentifying as Nerds, a tumblr pointing out pretty girls claiming super nerd-dom based on stuff like enjoying Ugly Betty and clearly not getting the point. On the heels of this comes the discovery of one girl we believe will totally qualify.
It’s Nikki Cohen, inventor of the TARDIS Corset. Her fine work is shown here on Boing Boing.
For those of you who aren’t nerdy enough to know this, a TARDIS is a space-time travel machine in the shape of a blue British police box used by Time Lords on Doctor Who. Certainly, though, you’ve never seen a police box as shapely as Nikki Schwartz, modeling the corset here at Mayfaire Moon Corsets. Royal blue and black with white laces, it’s a witty blend of sci fi, steampunk and sex appeal. Now, we don’t know that if you wear it whether you will actually be able to travel through time (one imagines it depends on who wears it and their own special powers) but this is the may be the most cleverly thought-out bit of geek lingerie since … well, what year was Tim Burton’s Catwoman? Anyway, we predict that Cohen is going to get as much business as she can handle from grateful nerds … and the nerdettes who love them.
Or just those who just love The Doctor.
