Victoria SteamPunk Exposition II

[The Wizard of BC]

Back inside Bobbie and I were amazed by the variety and imagination of the outfits.








Not to be outdone Bobbie and I dressed for the event.

Here is Bobbie on the porch.





So, just what does a kiltie wear to a Steampunk event? Well, unfortunatly I had the camera and there are very few of me today. But here is one of Bobbie and I together

"Warning Will Robinson, Warning"

I am breaking about every rule of Traditional Scottish Highland Dress. Not only am I wearing a Pith Helmet, but also Riding boots, white hose, a wing collar shirt as day wear, and I'm carrying a high frequency blaster on my hip.



The day and evening were a lot of fun. Both Bobbie and I really enjoyed the chance for a flight of fancy and to see the imagination and amount of thought and work that went into this event.

I'll try to get some more pictures up of the other kilts at the event, and some more of the other attendees but right now I need to get horizontal in my bed.

A high frequency blaster, eh?

A MK 4C(L)---left handed version---- with the three pressure trigger, if I am not mistaken, with the eight prism(vastly superior to the more usual six prism)SUSAT sight accurate to one sixteenth of an inch at 8000 nautical miles, rather obsolete these days,but----- hummmm........

In that case Steve, you can wear anything you wish, whenever you wish, however you want!

What fun and super pictures of an event, well beyond my ken.

Oh worry not, just getting into the swing of the theme, really.

Looks like fun! Were there any other kilties in attendance?

Interesting how amenable a kilt, dress Argyll jacket, and hunting sporran are to being Steampunkified...

What a wonderful, fun event. And a great looking house as a backdrop.

Steampunkified - great word as well.

Pith Helmet, ok. ith:
Riding boots, check.
A wing collar shirt as day wear, fine.
Carrying a high frequency blaster on your hip, but of course.
But white hose sir is going too far!

Rock On!

I'm away at work at the mo and can't see the pictures. Can't wait to get home and have a shufftie. I think Steampunk is ace!

Rock On!

I popped in on Freedom Kilts on Saturday afternoon and Bobbie and Steve were taking a break from the exposition. I can verify that they looked great!
I had no idea that this was going on in our city. Thanks for posting all the pictures, Steve.
