We always do 1 high ponytail and 1 low ponytail, with a couple of strands of hair not pulled up into the ponies.

Badly applied make up. Get some lipstick on the teeth.

Tape some toilet paper to the bottom of one of your shoes.

Pin a note to you back - Math Sucks!!! or hug your favorite nerd or nerds need love too.

A nerd is a character from a Dr. Seuss story so to truly dress like one you have to look like :

If you mean it in a computer geek kind of way go with a short sleeved white shirt with a thin black tie. Unless you are purposely going for a "nerd" look the only worse fashion mistake than a short sleeved shirt and tie would be jean shorts on a guy.

I FIND THE STEREOTYPES THIS THREAD OFFENSIVE! We don't wear pocket protectors anymore!

Did that! The coworker who taped it to my back made me promise to tell people I asked him to do it .

I FIND THE STEREOTYPES THIS THREAD OFFENSIVE! We don't wear pocket protectors anymore!

I knew that . Besides, I couldn't get a pocket protector on short notice.

I had fun, but it was a little disappointing - I was the only one at work intentionally Dressed Like a Nerd. Bunch of party poopers .

Thanks, everyone! Next year I won't wait until 'the day' to plan my look!
