Top 10 Geeky Aprons from Darling Army

lists, products, video games | December 5, 2012 | By

Normally I would pull a bunch of aprons from different places, but Darling Army is just too…well, darling. And incredible. Her aprons are top-notch and some of the geekiest and detailed that I’ve seen.

It’s too late to get them ordered and received by Christmastime unfortunately, but for your favorite foodie friend, it might be worth delivering late anyway. Or maybe get your Valentine’s Day or birthday planning started now?

In no particular order (Photobucket chose for me), here are my top 10 favorites of Amanda’s, but she has a bunch of others, too.

1.  Assassin’s Creed Ezio Altair

Oh you little masked Mexican wrestlers! I haven’t seen a reference to them in years, but here they are, wrapping themselves around bottle necks and wrestling them open.

And they come in more colors and positions, too:

Kinda cute, right? And Christmas is right around the corner.

Hello Kitty Sushi Part 2

Hello Kitty Sushi Mold from Amazon

Hello Kitty Sushi Mold from Amazon

So now, if you’re not confident in making your own Hello Kitty sushi based off the video, you can buy a mold and try your hand at it that way instead.

I really think the molds make it look like a really clunky process and you’re likely to end up with some really butchered sushi. Then again, could it be any worse than trying to free hand it if you’re not that experienced with the rice? Probably not, so you might as well try!
