Steampunk

107177

It’s a subculture I am absolutely smitten with. Steampunk is a combination of victorian and technology. Think bustles and waistcoats meets flying citadels and automatons. The idea of living back in the 1800s has always seemed very romantic to me, except of the fact that in reality it’s no where near as glamorous as I’d like to imagine. Add to that the fantastic edgy-ness of steam power and mechanical minions, and my imagination begins to run wild.

It has now become a goal of mine to attend San Diego Comic Con. Steampunk isn’t a large focus of the convention, but some of the panels and parties that focus around it would be fantastic to visit. Even just to see some of the outfits attendees where. The fashion of Steampunk alone is amazing.
