Geeks Turn Sexy
The fairer sex in technical side of things have always had an extreme Geeky image. Wears spectacles. Doesn’t talk too much, is too techie to talk to. Wears loose clothes..etc..etc..
But no more.
ITGoddess - A project started to raise money for non profit groups that run initiatives to encourage females to take up technology studies and to enter technology careers.
About the Models: All geeky. All nerds.
They are all in techie jobs – ranging from technical support, audio engg, a GIS expert, software engineers to C++, .Net gurus.
The main goal behind these calendars are
- prove that women geeks, apart from being successful nerds are equally sexy as Britneys of the world,i.e. promote geekiness among the fairer sex, and
- start a college scholarship fund for women majoring in computers.

is it too much to excpect geeky men to smarten up? I think its ATROCIOUS that this calendar is just to prove that female geeks can be sexy..its really preposterous! WHy cant the geeky guys do something to make themselves more attractive: work out. shave off all those moustaches, get a nice haircut, have clean feet and nails, etc…or do they think being great engineering brains that guarantee four trips to the US every year are enought to keep their womrn happy and quiet?
Well, in general women are supposed to be the *do-it-all* stuff (sexist remark!).
BTW – Have a look here
- The geeky calendar was shipped with bugs!!
