For Authors After Dark in August.
For those of y'all that know me, I'm not the frilly type. Julia's got her steampunk costume all sorted -- she's going to be lovely. Corset, skirt, boots, hat. She's going to be lovely.
Me? I'm less prepared. Like whoa.
However, my suggestion to just wear a t-shirt that says "steampunk" was met with less than approval, so costuming I go.
I've bought books, done some web research, looked at Etsy and Ebay and wow.
Wow.
Gears and goggles and corsets and leather and...
At least my hair's already pink.

Hey hon,
In February I attended the Fetish Fair Fleamarket (Providence, RI) where there were a number of Steampunk vendors. Corsets, goggles, TENS-type zappy units made from old telephone parts, you name it. My faves were Brute Force Studios cos they had a deliciously kinky but very friendly and approachable vibe. Anyway, not that you need more places to spend money, but here's their steampunk lab link: http://www.bruteforceleather.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=40
Have fun at AAD!!
