OMG IT’S A FRIDAY FIXATION I AM BACK LOOK AT ME

*cough*

So. Yes. I realize that this website has long since been abandoned.  I don’t even plan to update it regularly.  But I was filled with a sense of nostalgia for the time when I used to do this all the time, and I am obeying my nonsensical urge to flail around drawing attention to myself.

So here is what I am fixated on this Friday: Steampunk.

To be more specific, I went to this event tonight, Steampunk Street.  There were some really, really cool people down there.  Gorgeous artists and vendors and people in such elaborate costumes that I was filled with jealousy.  I have been fixated on steampunk for a while now, really, as evidenced by my Halloween costume this year

*pause for blatant self-promotion*

 

*resumes post*

but tonight I was just reveling in the awesomeness.  There were musicans and guys with steampunk guns and jet packs and clockwork hats and ladies with stripey dresses and amazing boots and goggles of every size and colour.  And an artist friend of mine had a booth where she was selling large beetles that had gearwork insides, among other things.  She is amazing. Go look at her gallery. (And note that most of her work is not included in her gallery because she makes most of her money on private commissions.  You should SEE the steampunk gas mask she made for someone’s Halloween costume this year.)

So. Steampunk.  It’s my thing, this Friday.

Maybe someday soon I’ll write a review of a book….?
