Me Lookin' STEAMY---SteamPUNK, that is!

[binaryalchemist]

Okay--few points to remember:
Wrong veil on helmet--should be my light mosquito netting
Cape not closed enough
Tie not properly tied--nobody to assist
you cant see my groovy high button shoes or the opal glass head ot the cane
Bronze-finish goggles crooked on helmet--wasn't told
Thankfully...you can hardly see my face...but here it is!!

LOVE it!!!

I should look into this steampunk thing... I love the look and it's probably the closest I could come to cosplay without feeling like I look like an ass.

Oh, honey--you should! And everybody looks good in Steampunk. There are so many types of characters you can be--the globetrotting adventuress, the elegant lady, the airship pirate, the Soiled Dove--so many, choices. You can be a mad scientist, a greasy mechanic, or whatever your imagination can dream up. My Steampunk Personna is Lyrica Von Metronome--traveling musicologist and adventurer, choral director for Transylvania Polygnostic University. And I haven't even put any work into the 'fiddly bits' of costuming--haven't had time. But ohhhh Steampunk is so much fun!!

Where can I find an idiot's breakdown of this steampunk business?

Looking awesome! That waistcoat rocks.

Thanks! you would not believe the work that had to be done to get it to even halfway fit--it was sold to me as a woman's but they lied--it was fit for a man far bigger than I was. But my friends really worked on it and now they don't feel too bad about letting me be seen in it as it was before--"Friends don't let friends go out looking THAT bad" as Roomie said!

WIN!! \o/ And the goggles aren't that crooked. :) They look like you just popped them up there right quick after returning from a whirlwind adventure! ^_^ I think you look great! :D

Thanks! I just love that outfit--I would dress like that every day if I could!
