More Steampunk style at Saltaire's World Heritage Celebrations - I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I thought it was great that it wasn't only young folks - whole families were involved, and I spotted several silver Steampunks!

The costumes and inventions are superbly detailed and obviously created with a great deal of care and enthusiasm, but the whole Steampunk thing isn't really my cup of tea. But then, it'd be a very tedious world if we were all alike and I can appreciate why others become so involved :)
ReplyDeletei'm glad you made me discover that style, because I really love it! I'm surprised to see that people "practising" are not very young..That's an interesting point, and a good one: I can join! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat must be fun ! I wished I could see that life ! I love these old costumes.
ReplyDeletei don't think I'll be joining in, though it looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI must say this Steampunk style looks tremendous fun, and so creative. It looks to me as though a goodly amount of foraging through bric-a-brac/charity shops is part and parcel of accumulating the items for the finished outfit.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of gold rimmed Victorian spectacles, a leather flying cap and an Edwardian cane/silk umberella . . . . . I do beleive I have the makings of an outfit . . . . .
I have heard of Steampunk before, but only because a former FSU student (S.J. Chambers) who also worked as an assistant in my office is a co-author of "The Steampunk Bible". Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteSimply awesome!! Kudos to these folks for going all out.
ReplyDeleteI adore goggles anywhere. In fact, I have a pair myself.
