R.I.P. Princess


While many nerds preferred the Princess Leia in the Alderaan gown and the iconic hair buns, I preferred the slave ensemble--have fun psychoanalyzing that, guys.

Princess Leia epitomized everything us geeks and nerds fantasized in a heroine--petite, strong, beautiful, feisty, and determined. She was a badass. And she was played by a woman who was the badass.

Today indeed is a very sad day. I didn't want to believe it, at first. I thought it was just rumor. Then it slowly set in. Carrie Fisher passed away at age 60.

My heart aches with grief, because she to me and many fellow geeks and nerds was our Princess.

R.I.P. Princess.
