Being Geek Chic is the yammerings of a Midwestern nerd named Elizabeth Giorgi. My vision impairment is real, which is frustrating because I really would like to see a 3D movie.

Lady Geek of the Week: Keli Catalano
Lady Geek Keli Catalano threw her caution to the wind when she turned her passion into a full-time career. She launched her design boutique and paper art studio Colette Paperie in 2008, but not without guts.
She’s “a risk-taker, a rule-breaker and proud of it.”
Catalano’s paperie offers greeting cards that are whimsical and wise.
Her cards spout messages like, “Happy Mother’s Day Mom…from the best thing you ever made out of an egg” and “Let’s ketchup soon.”
I love her mission to promote sending “paper mail instead of an e-mail.”
Who wouldn’t love receiving a Colette Paperie card in their post?
And before you think Keli’s mind is all tricks and no wit, check out this video blog of life lessons she’s gathered. My favorite? Lesson #7:
“Don’t give a flying crap about what anyone else thinks of you.”
Until next week, lady geeks!
