Threadless has a reputation among t-shirt fans for putting out creative, quality products, so it should come as no surprise that they are currently featuring a handful of prints that instantly achieve the tag of classic. Simply put, they're awesome. No, I don't own stock in the company.

When I was a kid growing up in the ~~70's~~ 80's I loved two things, plastic toys painted with lead and t-shirts that showcased my hip understanding of the current pop culture. Basically, I had a bunch of t-shirts that said "Shazbot!" and got beat up a lot.

Some things never change, although these days I only get beat up emotionally. Needless to say, when I came across the Make Love, Not War shirt I was immediately smitten. Yes, smitten. Who could possibly resist the nostalgia that is Rock'em, Sock'em? Who, besides the current administration, could refuse a message as powerful as "make love, not war?" Who doesn't like gay robots? This shirt is a win-win, er, win.

They have a great collection of images on their website. Some examples are included below. Enjoy.

Star Wars on the catwalk: $159,000 robot leggings

Since when did catwalk models start dressing like robots from Star Wars? At first glance, this might look like an uber-nerdy sci-fi fashion convention, but the photo is from an honest-to-goodness runway show. Industry big wigs who attended the event called the looks "edgy, aggressive and urban," but I think most normal people can agree this woman looks half hipster, half C-3PO (the whiny British robot from Episodes IV, V and VI who was always scared he was going to die).

Other designs in the collection look like Stormtroopers (the dudes in white outfits who worked for Darth Vader), the Terminator, and the outfits from Tron.

Alcohol Monitoring Bracelet -- On the Runway!

Ever since the rise of blogging, social media, etc, it's been cool to be a nerd -- but this is taking geek chic to a whole new level. May The Force be with you if you try dressing like this in public.

Nike makes Transformers sneakers, inspired by Optimus Prime

Every now and again I'm forced to reveal that I'm a complete and total geek. This is one of those times.

I am incredibly pumped about the new Transformers movie. That cartoon was a Saturday-morning staple throughout my childhood, and trucks that can turn into giant, evil-fighting robots are undeniably cool.

I'm so excited, in fact, that I'm starting to think the new(ish) Nike Air Trainer "Transformers" -- inspired by the Autobots' fearless leader, "Optimus Prime" are stylish.

Sure, Nikes aren't exactly high fashion, the bold red, yellow and blue color combination makes them look more like a children's toy than anything intended for adults (not to mention that pointless plastic strap just below the laces), and placing the Transformer logo on the tongue of the shoe was certainly an uninspired choice.

But, all that aside, these are shoes inspired by the coolest cartoon show in the history of television (except for Thundercats and Heman), and that's gotta count for something.
