I've been collecting accessories for a while and Tom ordered me a Blonde Swan hat and goggles while we were at Pennsic so I'm planning to wear steampunk garb for Labor Day. Anyone care to join me?
Oooo that sounds fun!!! I don't have any steampunk gear but I could......
I bet you could come up with something fun!
I'm still figuring out what I can modify from my existing garb, what I feel like making from scratch, and what I'll go ahead and buy ready made. I'm not feeling so hot today so I've spent hours online looking for ideas. lol
Steampunk on Labor Day?! Oh my....
I usually don't attend on Labor Day, but I may have to see what I can organize.
Sadly, it's my usual in drag for labor day. People expect it of me.

You could get a little creative, and go in STEAMPUNK drag.
Just sayin... ;D

I hope labor day isn't too hot, I got an idea that is going to crack everyone up if it's not!
Is it a surprise?
yes it is LadyAnn, ;D
I think it will be hilarious so hope for cooler weather and no rain that day.

I love your outfit!
I think it would be fun to dress steampunk! I've been surfing the net for ideal, and I really have no idea which way to go with it. Anyone have some suggestion?

There are sooooo many different possibilities that I am having a hard time narrowing down the choices myself! LOL
I've got one outfit nearly complete that is more dark formal Neo-Victorian that is the one I'll probably wear with the new top hat on Labor Day. I've also got some more casual things that would work for an explorer and/or airship crew member. Then I've been thinking about the sky pirate thing since that's traditionally a pirate themed weekend. Um, yeah, so I might do steampunk all weekend. :D
(One of the benefits of joining the SCA is that now gives me a time and place for historical accuracy and the faire can be all about fun!)
