Geek Chic

By now, several of you have become proud (we hope) possessors of items from Musery Loves Company. We’re curious. When you wear your Musewear in public, do you get any…you know, reactions? Comments? Funny looks? (More than usual, we mean.) What does it feel like to be the public face of the Kokonspiracy?

  1. curious and questioning the procrastinatious says:

    People once or twice asked what it was.
    One friend said he didn’t want to know why I had hot pink bunnies on my sweatshirt (signature one, not HPB one).
    My English teacher started reading it.
    Everyone else either doesn’t notice or shrugs it off as part of my geekiness.

    First post?

    I actually happened to wear my fantabulous hpb sweater today to skool, and nobody said ANYTHING. Maybe I’ll get a Pwt Pwns one…

    It was a first post!!!

    *rejoices*

    I have to add some substance to this if I want it to be approved, so I’ll say something else.

    Many people seem to be unobservant. Either that or they really expect anything from me and are unfazed by it. Nobody connects it to the kokopellihedrons on my social studies, science, and Italian notebooks, or to the hot-pink bunnies all over my band binder.

    I’ve only worn my musery gear out once, and that was with my friends who are liable to take strange things as normal, so that’s a no. However, whenever I wear my koko or urania shirts, people try to read them and I’ve had several inquiries. I don’t know what attracts people to them, tons of people have writing on their shirt that no one reads. I think I shall have to research this phenomena in more detail.

    Well, the Muse Academy items were designed to pass unnoticed by the unwary. As for the others, we’ll just have to make them more outrageous, won’t we?

    Sorrely. I sort of don’t have any money to buy musey things. If I had a sweatshirt, I would wear it everyday like I do with my CrossCountry sweatshirt.

    I read what people have on their shirts/sweatshirts. I may be the only one but a few other people have told other people to hold still while they read their shirts.

    I somlemly swear that I will get a musey something as soon as possible.

    I went around after school a few days ago sticking Kokopelli for Presidnet stickers on people. Nobody seemed to really mind, but I don’t think anyone noticed them either, or understood. Maybe I should go walk around with a big posterboard saying something about MUSE. Free Advertising!

    I have a big HBP shirt that I altered a bit to fit my better. I’ve gotten a few comments on it from one or two people who are likely to appreciate the coolness of wearing a t-shirt with a giant hypnotic bunny face on it.

    Two other people have told me that when they fist saw it, they thought I was a wearing a shirt with the playboy bunny on it.

    As for my Muse Academy notebook, only my friends who know that I’m a Muse geek have noticed and then they just either rolled their eyes or laughed.

    I also have Pwtpwns magnet that I keep in my locker, but no one else really sees that.

    We (THF and I) just got a gigantic (but comfortable) regular HPB w/signatures sweatshirt, and a big Muse Academy t-shirt. They’re great! I wore them to school, but nobody really said anything. But they are so cool!!!!! THF, for Christmas, made me a home-made shirt that says “Got Pwnage?” on the front, with a picture of Koko holding a koko for president sign, and on the back there’s a picture (very nicely drawn) of Robert’s liscence plate. There are also a lot of Kokopellis and HBPs on the sleeves of the shirt. That got a few more looks at school…probably because it’s home-made, but I’m not sure! Clothes don’t usually get looks at my school. I go to an arts school, and for some reason everyone wears crazy clothing.

    More interesting clothing would be cool crisp. Considering it as an upgrade from shirts with neon pink rabbits on them, what could be more outrageous? Likely I’ll want one immediately. Sorry about rhythms in that, still half thinking in haiku from my last post.

    It’s great.

    Here are some things people have said when looking at my signature sweatshirt:

    “Pent-Pelt-Petata-Petika-pentatonoxic?-Pentomonic?”
    (Someone trying to pronounce “Pentatonikk”)

    “What are moozes?”
    (Someone wondering waht “Muses” are)

    “What the heck it pwit pwions?”
    (Someone wondering why it says “pwt pwns” in the searchbox.)

    “What the heck is this?…. Tell me!”
    (Someone wondering what it all means… O__o)

    37-“Geeks” are what we are, right? And “Chic” (pronounced Sheek) is a type of fashion that you can add to something, like “Lightbulb Chic”, the fashion of lightbulbs, or “Bozo Chic” the fashion of wearing clown clothes.
    None of those things are what you’d call “Fashion” but when you add “Chic” they become fashionable apparently.
