Steampunk Haunted House

   Posted by: manny

The ScareHouse, located in Pittsburgh, PA, is one of America’s best haunted houses – and it’s heavily influenced by steampunk. Check out the video above to see some scary steampunk goodness!

I’d say their costume designer has the best job ever, don’t you think?

Steampunk Corset

   Posted by: manny

Take a look at this fabulous steampunk corset created by Nifer Fahrion. She wanted to make a beautiful, yet sturdy corset/work belt, and I’d say she did it perfectly. She explains on her blog:

For the past year, I’ve desired to create a garment which blends the femininity and elegance of a corset with the durability and ruggedness of a workbelt. Recently, I shared my idea with the talented seamstress and designer Robynne Winchester of Tulgey Wood Designs. She was instantly excited about the concept and agreed to collaborate to make it a reality.

What a great idea! Sexy and tough, a perfect combination.

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!

Behold, the glory of the Steampunk X-Men!

This group was at DragonCon 2009 and in my opinion stole the show. Well done!

Steampunk Your Wheels

   Posted by: Captain Rosamund

Now that you’ve got your cogs in gear and your sportin’ some Steampunk couture, you need a complimentary set of wheels. I vote for this wood-bedecked VW. It’s got a great Victorian-style vibe and it’s fully functional!

It may not have four wheels and cushy seats, but this recumbant trike is an equally cool wood-equipped ride:

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.

The Creation of a Steampunk Moped

   Posted by: manny

I just found one of the coolest steampunk blogs ever. This guy is building an amazing steampunk moped, and documenting the creation process every step of the way.

First, he went and bought a moped, then began giving it a steampunk makeover. He’s still working on it, but he’s made a lot of progress. I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!

Head on over to SteampunkMoped to watch it get made!

Steampunk Challenge: Image Contest

   Posted by: manny

Check out the great collection of steampunk pictures over at b3ta.com.

They’re running a Steampunk Challenge, to celebrate Steampunk and the age of Victorian sci-fi, where airships and steam power exist alongside 19th century versions of more modern developments.

A lot of the pictures are rather silly, but some of them are absolutely fantastic!

Yes! A steampunk toilet — the “antique toilet of the future.” Awesome!

It boasts a control panel and laser pointing mechanism. The perfect throne for any steampunk king or queen.

Steampunk Cellphone

Wow, what an amazing steampunk cellphone! This was built out of a standard Nokia phone. So very, very cool.

I wonder what the ringtone sounds like.
