We picked it up on our trip to San Diego, because of a steampunk banned called “Steam Powered Giraffes” playing at the San Diego Zoo.
There is a big convention in Austin, Texas, so it appears to be spreading.
I’m still working on my outfit, but I’m trying to spend less than $100 total — apparently a real outfit can cost thousands.
I’ll say this — if it wasn’t for the high cost of air fare, my daughter and I would be attending a steampunk convention in Long Beach in January — it’s on the queen mary, and you can stay on the ship and party all weekend with people dressed in steampunk.
Are people wearing it as regular clothing or is it a special event sort of thing? Will my customer succeed with a mild Steampunk influenced line of apparel? Nothing really outlandish but the influence is clear.
I’m going to be out on Ocracoke Island next weekend and Halloween is something of an event out there, maybe I can rent some vintage stuff and pull it offm lol.
