Real Steampunk

I’m breaking from my norm today and including some Real Life in my post. Last weekend I was at a Steampunk Festival, a real one, near where I live. It was the first time there’s been one near me, so it’s the first one I’ve attended too, it was amazing.

People went to so much effort with their costumes and some fun entertainment. I only attended for one afternoon but there was events running the whole weekend, so next year I’ll be attending more.

(Yes, that is a lifesize Dalek and a TARDIS in the corner!)

In Second Life meanwhile the steampunk themed Engine Room event had opened the day before. So inspired from the Festival I went on a shopping spree and put together this outfit to put myself virtually into the header photo of the actual event.
