LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – One costume designer has geeky girls all tied up.

Becky Jordan is using her training in musical theater and costume making to bring sex appeal to dorks with her custom-made corsets.

She’s made Star Wars and Star Trek-inspired corsets for her own private collection, and others based on comic book characters and video game vixens for her clients.

Jordan says her love of the theater, Halloween, and geek culture has made her really push the envelope creatively as to what can be sexy.

She says, “I try to be unique and unconventional. I think ‘What have I never seen before?’ and try to make something different. I like doing sexy. Who doesn’t like to be sexy?”

Though some geeks complain that the corsets and costumes aren’t “historically accurate,” Jordan is aware of that and assures that she’s simply creating a “fantasy.”
