Guess who is feeling fancy this February? This gal! And why? Because just like my heroes over at Go Fug Yourself<\/a>, Vanity Fair<\/a> sent me an advance image of the cover of Vanity Fair\u2019s 20th anniversary Hollywood issue. Little did the classy folks at Vanity Fair realize how I was going to give my readers the short geek interpretation of their cover.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go to the cover, shall we?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here it is!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve got Chiwetel Ejiofor all the way to the left. Surely he\u2019s there for his performance in \u201c12 Years a Slave\u201d, but I don\u2019t care even the slightest about that. For us Browncoats he\u2019s The Operative in the film \u201cSerenity\u201d. The next handsome gent with Julia Roberts in his lap is Idris Elba. I\u2019ve got to assume he\u2019s on the cover for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in \u201cMandela: Long Walk to Freedom\u201d. However all of us geeks are excited to see him because he starred in, say it together now, \u201cLuther\u201d! Also, hubba hubba! Thanks to \u201cDallas Buyer Club\u2019s\u201d 6 Oscar nominations Jared Leto is front and center on the cover, and women of a center age know Jared Leto better as Jordan Catalano from \u201cMy So-Called Life\u201d. Your band 30 Seconds to Mars can release as many albums as you want, and you can star in as many movies that you can get cast in, but you will always be freakin\u2019 Jordan Catalano to us. <\/p>\n

Lastly, standing in the middle like the glorious beacon of awesome that she is, Lupita Nyong\u2019o. I know this actress entirely from her dazzling beauty and amazing fashion sense. In terms of Hollywood, kudos may be in order to her stylist. This is seriously sad, but it wasn\u2019t until I looked her up on IMDB.com that I learned she was in \u201c12 Years a Slave\u201d. Until about 5 minutes ago I only knew Lupita Nyong\u2019o for being a woman who can do no wrong when it comes to dressing for the red carpet. I had no idea why she was walking those carpets. This isn\u2019t traditional geek, but it touches on my fashion geekness. (Did I mention my love for Go Fug Yourself<\/a>?)<\/p>\n

But wait! I\u2019ve got a little something more. Not only was Vanity Fair<\/a> kind enough to share their cover image but they also sent along a video of some behind the scene footage of the photo shoot! Getting to watch world famous photographer Annie Leibovitz work is a special treat. I\u2019ve been a fan of hers since high school!<\/p>\n
