Steampunk?

Monday, May 7, 2012

Ok so there is a chick who makes geeky shows on youtube, i became a fan a long time ago. Since then her career has exploded! She's been on several TV shows, she writes, produces and acts in her own online shows all of which i have really enjoyed. 
Anyways her latest thing she is doing is a video blog where she does different things like smiting, chain saw stuffig and her latest was a photoshoot for steampunk fashion.


She had a little part in one of her youtube shows that had steampunk in it but i thought it was just something she came up with, i had no idea it was an actual 'thing' or even what it was.... still shady on what it actual is but i'm so digging the fashion!


The fashion is awesome, it's like victorian-modern with a hint of fantasy (or more like a lot).... i don't know but it is really playing with my fantasy loving obsession part of me.



Ok i looked it up, here is what wiki says about it:

Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction,fantasyalternate historyhorror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used—whether in an alternate history such as Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States, or in a post-apocalyptic time —that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashionculturearchitectural style, and art. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip PullmanScott Westerfeld and China Mieville.

I think i want to sew some of this stuff... it so rocks! Here i will share some pictures with you so you can see what i mean :)















Isn't it awesome? Lots of lace, corsets, frills, strapping, awesome boots, goggles, clocks, gloves, gadgets... just cool!
