this is a silly post

Not much happening in the middle of the week.
Worked from home. Got very little done.
Watching some TV.
And got my goggles in the mail! From the awesome Zhos World.
I'm ready for adventure now.

Steampunk: it's kinda like that

For the second day of Capricon, we dressed in some Steampunk gear.
It was glorious.
And our friend Cuki took awesome photos of us.

Susan as the hero of our made up crew.

Cheryl, the muscle.

Me, the pilot (guess what's not real in these photos).

And Ashlee, the professor/scientist.

Yeah. It was pretty much the greatest.

And if you want to look at more of Cuki's awesome work, he has a fancy DeviantArt page you should check out.

Saturday Nerd Find

In a couple of weeks I'm heading up to Capricon (pretty stoked!) And we're planning to do it right by having costumes, one of which will be steampunk inspired.
So in scouring the internetfor inspiration, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this.

Victorian Two Piece Traveling Suit from Clockwork Couture

Look familiar?

They even market it for the books/character, which is awesome.
It amused me, so I wanted to share.
Also, Clockwork Couture is an awesome store if you're into steampunk.
