Einsteinium is a Girl's Best Friend Apron

Etsy seller buffalonerdproject sells a sweet apron that shows your love for the actinide elements. The description of the Einsteinium apron:

It is, of course, named after a certain Albert Einstein. It is also radioactive, hence, hot stuff.

This apron is perfect for that geek chic chef in your life, a great way to celebrate mad skillz (yup, with a Z) both in the lab and out. It is the second of my "hot stuff" aprons, and I hope to create more. It is made from vintage flowered fabric with a felt applique of Einsteinium's periodic symbol in white and green with a gold background. Green iron-on letters proclaim "hot stuff" to warn people about a) radioactive elements, b) food just out of the oven or c) the nature of the wearer.

I agree, totally hot!
