Steampunk World’s Fair

   Posted by: manny

The incredible Steampunk World’s Fair took place last weekend in New Jersey, and I wanted to show some photos of all the amazing costumes. I wasn’t able to attend, but I hope I can next year!

I really like this Flickr slideshow tool, it’s very handy. Aren’t the costumes just awesome? Be sure to head over to the Flickr Pool to view all the photos.

How fun, it’s Steampunk Batman, Green Arrow and the Joker!

This photo was taken during the 2008 DragonCon. Excellent idea and great costumes! I’d like to get a closer look at Green Arrow’s steampunk crossbow, that looks awesome.

Steampunk World’s Fair Promo

   Posted by: manny

Ready for the Steampunk World’s Fair next month? Guaranteed to be the big steampunk event of the year. The event takes place on May 14th-16th 2010, at the Radisson of Piscataway, in the lovely state of New Jersey.

Watch this fun video promo: “I’m a Steampunk.” It’s a clever parody of the Mac vs PC commericals. Who says you HAVE to have goggles? lol

What a cool steampunk dog costume! This is probably my favorite photo to come out of the Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition, which took place last weekend in Emeryville, California.

What a patient pup, to put up with those goggles. Very cool!

Here’s another great pic from Dragon Con – a steampunk belly dancer! She looks so great.

I tried to find some Dragon Con steampunk bellydancing on Youtube, but nothing turned up. I did, however, find this awesome video of steampunk belly dances from a Ren Faire last spring. Very cool!

Steampunk Boba Fett

Steampunk Boba Fett

A steampunk Boba Fett was been spotted this weekend at Dragon*Con. How cool is that? Yes, everything is better with brass and rivets.

Here’s another photo of Steampunk Boba Fett posing with actress Felicia Day.

Jayne Hat - Firefly What kills me about this second photo is that it looks like Boba Fett is wearing Jayne’s hat from Firefly!!?

“Jayne” is a character from Joss Whedon’s Sci Fi Western, Firefly. In one of the episodes, Jayne receives an ugly hat from his mother.

Wow, what a bizarre crossover. I love it. Here’s a clip from Firefly where Jayne receives his hat.
