Description Just finished a weekend helping put on a super cool non-profit gaming convention, the Gaming Arts Media Expo (G.A.M.E.) (www.springfieldgame.com) to benefit our local Arts Council. One of the things that made it successful was a group of beautiful examples of feminine geekery, the Damsels of Dorkington ([link] ) Think of them as kind of burlesque for nerds They, and their all-round great guy Jeff put on a show for a packed crowd and did the utmost throughout the event to make it all the more cool.

As appreciation for their support to our fledgling Expo and just being so neat themselves I created a bit of art and presented it to them as a gift and I thought I'd post a copy of it here as well. I'm not skilled enough to capture their facial features as well as I'd like but I think I captured them in spirit Enjoy and go check 'em out Dork Pride

monsters got budgets? who knew. just what exactly is a distressed damsel anyway? I know what distressed furniture is, and the concept intimidates the imagination.

Indeed. Fortunately there are varying degrees. I like to think they were looked over or returned a bit because they don't fit into the mold of the weak beauty in need of rescuing... and they don't play well with others

Thanks I had the idea for it for a year or more, but never acted on it. The Damsels came to our Expo last year and were great and when they were coming back this year I remembered it and they fit into it perfectly
