I don't really understand fashion shoots. To my limited mind a picture of a woman in a jacket is a picture of a woman in a jacket and all references to 80s TV shows or Chanel's '02 collection, or the transience of love is completely lost on me.

One fashion-shoot reference that I did get though was in this month's Vogue Italia - where a fashion shoot was themed around twitpic. LOLZ!
(Not that I get Vogue Italia, obv, saw it on a blog, didn't I?)

The photographer - Steven Meisel - cunningly renamed the service meiselpic and I guess the photos are styled to look like off the hoof, real-life shots taken from your mobile phone on a night-out. Obviously with super models in expensive clothes instead of your friends, however. Meisel called the shoot "Feeling" and worked in some of the social networking tradtion of oversharing into the first page, along with a topical reference to swine flu - this guy is down with the kids.

Hello, geek pyjamas!

I saw these beautiful (men's) pyjamas on buzzbishop and immediately fell into a state of heart with them.

In black with white mathematical drawings, they're at the cerebral end of geek pyjamas. Buzzbishop says they're available from Gap but I have been through the mens sleepwear section of gap.com yet tragically failed to find them. Maybe they're not on the website :( [Anyone got a link? Stick it in the comments...]

However, geek pyjamas (or pajamas, depending how you spell it) that we could find that are available online include:

You know that person in your life who likes model buses and sometimes pretends that their living room is the top floor of a bus? Well now you can help them in their weird delusional obsession by purchasing them something from London Transport's new fashion accessory range.

The range includes, yes, model buses and - I love this - sofa coverings in the same old retro fabric that used to adorn the seats of London buses.

People in London are probably sick of buses, Brits outside London are probably sick of hearing about London, but I have a hunch this will go down well in Japan. They'd probably match it with ribbons and Pikachu and it will look great.

I'm exaggerating, some of the items are quite cute. Though pricey.

Bad girls have them, geek girls can have them too: and if you're going to get a tattoo, why not use it to show off your knowledge of computer coding or geek culture?
I didn't include any tattoos which involve the Apple logo. Tempting, but a macbook is always going to be slimmer and less hairy than you - too hard to compete.

From a join-the-dots giraffe to making your head all web 2.0, here's a selection of some of the geekiest skin art the world wide web has to offer.
