Team Unicorn: Sexy and Geeky Girls, They Do Exist!

By Dianne Garcia Thu., Mar. 24 2011 at 4:41 PM

The tagline on the Team Unicorn Facebook page pretty much sums it up: 'Geek Girls: Like unicorns, we're not supposed to exist.'

Rileah Vanderbilt, Clare Grant, Milynn Sarley and Michele Boyd are beautiful and talented women who are also proud to be nerds! Their first video, "G33K and G4M3R GIRLS", a parody of Katy Perry's "California Gurls" rocked the geek online community, with guest stars like Seth Green, Stan Lee and Katee Sackhoff. If you haven't seen it, watch it now before you read our interview below.

Team Unicorn

Vanderbilt explains that she met all three girls at different times on her various jobs all over Los Angeles. She decided to unite all four of them together to bond under their common, geek interests. Although, Grant reveals the real story behind Team Unicorn.

What is the super hero origin story of Team Unicorn?

Clare Grant: Full disclosure, we haven't a 100% sealed in these details. Rileah grew up alone and without parents. She had a super hard life and had to overcome all the obstacles to become awesome [like Batman]. Then this person died and in their will they left Rileah everything! Super billions-millions! She goes to live in her new castle/fortress. She realized she didn't just inherit all these stuff but she also inherited a team of super people. We all have super powers and Rileah becomes the leader of our super hero gang.

[laughter]

Milynn Sarley: We're still working out powers and the rest of the origin story...

A question inspired by SuperHarmony, which super hero or super villain would each of you want to go on a date with? What would be your ideal date night with them?

Michele & Clare Grant: Gambit! [laughter]

Rileah Vanderbilt: He'll probably be a really bad date, but Batman, just because I have fantasies revolving around him. [laughs] There's something about a moody guy. The date would probably suck. It would be all about, "My family died." I don't know what we would do, maybe we would go somewhere fun... maybe a comedy club.

CG: I'd want to see the romantic side of Gambit. I want him to take me to a nice restaurant that I know he can't afford but he's doing it just because he thinks he can get me into bed. I want him to speak French to me! I would say, "Oh my coffee went cold because we were having such a great conversation!" Then he'd say, "I got that." Then he'd warm it up with his powers and I'd say, "Oh, Gambit!"

Maybe they could consider themselves 'g33ks', but watching these girls on G4's top 100 video games, they don't really know jack sh** about video games. Sorry girls, if you're 'g4m3rs', then you're not very good ones.

Umm... yeah. I believe that these girls really like comic books and D&D. Sure. Whatever.It's just alternative porn, I suppose. Harmless. Something about the fact that all these cute girls are using the internet to get attention and know that they can manipulate the legions of dorky guys bugs me, but... whatever.

This song was stupid, though. Not funny. Not musical. Definitely not believable. I hope this is as far as they get but I'm sure guys will eat them up at Cons and buy their ... whatevers. I dunno.

Why? Nerdy girls are supposed to be ugly and aren't allowed to be cute?

BradyDale

I'm not making a generalization. I said these four girls strike me as faking it and that they aren't alone. Not every cute girl who makes a video about comic books (or whatever) strikes me as faking it, but these ones definitely, definitely, definitely do. Some producer held and audition and waved some money in these girls' faces.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Space Pirate Queen

Yeah, you're pretty wrong lol Oh, and all their videos are self-produced. I can pretty much list many reasons on why you're super wrong, but you sound confident of your opinion so it's probably pointless.
