First Steampunk Fest Fashion Show at Cite des Arts
Ballerina in the middle & the girl in green on the right will share the Win
both of them made their costumes

the girl duo with the umbrella did a skit with their costumes
which I think was a Fab idea to do that in the theater next year
skits or plays or ??

I missed earlier the reading of The Raven with the Steampunk Puppeteer's (Rick Rowan) acting out of the poem by none other than Edgar Allen Poe

 

 

Rick Rowan as Steampunk Puppeteer

First Steampunk Festival Cite des Arts

Original poster art by Kody Chamberlain

Steampunk cake from the UK - friend went to a wedding, took photos...

 

note: this may have been the first I heard of Steampunk as in crossing over into the real world & into weddings or at least in the UK (here I've still had to tell lots of folks what Steampunk even is...)

 

I was living in Stavanger, Norway at the time (so over 2 yrs ago now) when a friend from the UK went back home for a wedding & she dressed in costume & she took photos & she told me that...

 

This couple getting married dressed as did the guests in Steampunk fashion & their whole ceremony/reception room was also in this theme, as of course was their cake--what great fun, I would so love to attend a Steampunk wedding...

 

Brillian Idea for Next (the Second / to be Annual) Steampunk Festival in Lafayette, LA at Cite des Arts on Vine Street...

 

Someone please get Married & do that Party up Right?! Aie...

(or in Texan talk that would be YeeHah with a cowboy hat in the air?!)

Nooo....

I have sadly/oddly run out of photo storage on Google

do I want to pay to post more photos?

should I delete all photos in Picasa - that are saved elsewhere in order to get more space?

well until I decide what to do--that's it for the Blog photos I guess - Urgh... :o(
