She works in food, and it had to be Amsterdam as that's where her university friend who works for Fonterra ( NZ's huge dairy company) lives in a Fonterra apartment. She also went for training for her own job in Germany near Hamburg- and was bemused how she seemed to be the centre of attention at the dinner being from "exotic" (?- so not) NZ and having holidayed in Samoa- they all wanted to know about it! Shows the grass is always greener on the other side! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926571 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:49:39 +0000 approprio 1926571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b>: hi, cross-posted! Hope your girl had a great time here in NL, and yes, bike culture is one of the best things about this wonderful country. But I've reached the point where I recommend all tourists avoid Amsterdam. Go to Utrecht instead - it'll be better for everyone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926570 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:41:13 +0000 approprio 1926570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Vildy</b>: that's hilarious! Poor man, he must have had a special bewildered face for every time that happened. I bet he used it every day.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaP</b>: I knew there had to be someone here to share the joke. It's too clever by half, which makes it quite bizarrely stupid. And I'm pleasantly&nbsp;surprised to find to find a tune-yards fan club forming on YLF. On balance it's probably better for the world that more people can name Merrill Garbus than Klaatu's robot friend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926568 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:40:51 +0000 Jenni NZ 1926568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Liz I've missed you! Was just thinking last week that you hadn't been here.<br /> Even though, no I have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm no way one of the "tiny number of people who'd get it". The only person you mention here that I've heard of is Andy Warhol- and that's the outfit I like best, adore the pants. I'm much too conventional to understand what you say, and would be one of the tourists that you run the gauntlet past! In fact my 24 year old daughter was one just recently and loved the cycling!<br /> Great to see you and appreciate your cool ( mysterious) writing again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926563 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 18:37:56 +0000 LaPed 1926563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to fellow tune-yards fans! I haven't seen her live since she released Bird-Brains almost a decade ago; she toured quite a bit in northern Mass/southern VT, where I was living at the time. Before she was a full-time musician, she worked at a puppet theatre not far from where I lived. </p> <p>Great tees all around! #1 is very clever. Somewhere, stashed away, I still have a couple of kukuxumusu tees I bought in Spain (again, almost a decade ago, sheesh). Spain, esp Barcelona, is full of amazing design. Love those shiny linen pants, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926524 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:46:05 +0000 Vildy 1926524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ohh, no, I'd forgotten the robot's name. But here's a story for you.&nbsp; Many, many decades ago Michael Rennie was in Atlanta and he was eating dinner at the same country club restaurant my friend's family was. Of course, my then young friend knew who it was but wouldn't think to approach him. However, a very drunk guest staggered up to Rennie's table and elatedly slurred some loud garbled version of Klaatu Barada Niktu at him. Rennie seemed bewildered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926514 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 14:50:40 +0000 approprio 1926514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b>Janet</b>: oh yes! She is my #1 girl crush! Such an inspiring performer, and so original. Best experienced live! And yes, the joke on the shirt is very open-ended, which was part of its appeal. <b></p> <p>Cardiffgirl, ElizabethP,&nbsp;</b>thanks! I'm all about customisation and I'm wearing skirts more these days so... yeah,&nbsp;<b>rachylou</b>: I think the secret to these shirts is avoid wearing them with jeans. Luckily, I rarely wear jeans. <br /><b><br />Becky, RobinF:&nbsp;</b> It's not completely flop proof, but a crew neck with the right print can be great for my body shape. I often have fit issues with other styles. Horses for courses.&nbsp;<b></p> <p>Bijou: </b>but but<b></b>&nbsp;but this is me at my nerdiest! Seriously though, cool isn't something we should try to nail down in my opinion. Let's have some fun instead.<b></p> <p>cindysmith:&nbsp;</b>oh yes, something else I could bang on about for hours - what's a 50-year old woman supposed to look like? And only keep the platform hi-tops if you have room for them. ;)<b><br /></b><b><br />Sara L:&nbsp;</b>pardon me, but I do believe I've seen you sporting a Star Wars shirt. Or perhaps I'm mistaken? ;)<b></p> <p>Vildy:&nbsp;</b>aha! But can you name the robot? Spoiler: it's not Klaatu And yes, you should definitely listen to tune-yards. Everyone should listen to tune-yards.&nbsp;<b><br /></b><b><br />Murph11:&nbsp;</b>thanks! Aren't they just? Great for jewellery too.<b></p> <p></b><b>Angie</b>: I've been missing this, and you too.

While they do wear the ubiquitous unisex "free" t-shirts from events they have attended or in which they have participated, they also choose shirts for themselves based on some witty/nerdy saying. The t-shirts usually don't have much in the way of an actual graphic; it's more about the wording. For example: "Don't be so NaCl" or "Hakuna fermata: It means keep playing for the rest of your days." They do spend some time choosing the right color and fit of these individually selected t-shirts, so I call it a win. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nerd-shirts-for-my-fashion-friends-fashion-shirts-for-my-nerd-friends#post-1926438 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 12:29:57 +0000 Elizabeth P 1926438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Oh, so good to see you post again!&nbsp; <br /></div><div>I love what you've done with these tees, and in resurrecting the skirts.&nbsp; Creativity in spades, indeed.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p>
