The Week in Gay Geek: Rose Tyler returns, fashions for an Amazon Princess and more!

  • Futurama's easter eggs are too nerdy for me:
    Look, I may have laughed before they explained the meaning of "43770" on Rick & Steve but taxicab numbers? Futurama out-geeked me by a light year. I don't think even SQL jokes get that geeky.

  • Tim Gunn would approve these bullets and bracelets:
    Superhero fashion blog Project Rooftop recently held a contest to design costumes to gay fave icon Wonder Woman, in honor of Gail Simone's run on the series. Check out the winning entries for a number of cool visions for the Amazonian hero. (Above, Joe Quinones' Grand Prize winning entry.) I'm in love with the stylish jacket and boots submitted by Leanne Buckley, who was named "Most Fashionably Fabulous". Apt words, I tell you. Apt!

  • She also gives great hair advice:
    Speaking of the fabulous Ms. Simone, the New York Times profiled the first woman to take over writing of Wonder Woman. (Our sister site also loves her.) If you haven't visited it, Simone's message board is one my favorite places to discuss comics (though I haven't had time to log on in ages). Tying this into gay geekdom, one of the contributors to the Women in Refrigerators site was the greatly missed Rob Harris, who created the Legion of Super-Heroes character Nightwind as a fan submission and was also a major presence in the early days of gay comics community, the Gay League.

  • When companions clash... or just civilly converse:
    Neat! More reason to get excited about the next season of Doctor Who, Billie Piper is returning for three episodes. Considering how Rose exited the series, it'll be interesting how they bring her back. Check out the first publicity pic of Piper with the also-fabulous Catherine Tate



    They don't look happy to see each other.

  • However, it would be quite sad to hear Pajamaman sing "Suppertime":
    One of my favorite all-ages comics, Amelia Rules!, is becoming a musical. Considering the source material, this one deserves to be the new You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
