Women LITERALLY in Computers

Some may be upset by the idea that even in computer science, women are still being wooed by shoes and jewelry. That idea doesn't upset me at all. I think that the current trend of repurposing old computer parts is fun and very, very geek chic.

Take a look at these heels by Steven Rodrig (Gizmodo). They don't look very comfortable, but they make one heck of a statement! Walk a mile in our shoes...you'll see how difficult it can be!

Another beautiful use of old circuitry is this lovely and very artistic jewelry by Bonnie Meltzer. She goes above and beyond using old computer bits tacked to the end of a wire, actually weaving the parts and pieces into lovely and fragile neckware. So, if you're a woman who embraces both technology and fashion, maybe it's time to embrace technology *in* fashion.
