shanmonster: (Spasmolytic)
My descent into dorkiness is accelerating. I am now the proud owner of spirit gum and elf ears. I continue boiling leather for my armour, and I made a foam boffer staff on the weekend.

It looks like the Underworld event will be taking place much further away than originally planned, which likely means I'll be riding the Greyhound bus and a subway while wearing armour and lugging around a whole wack of foam weapons. Does it get any geekier?

Yes, yes it does. I haven't turned into that guy in the box from Trekkers.

... so far.

In other news, I'm going to the Renn tonight all dressed up in Steampunky goodness. Won't you come, too? There's going to be a fashion show. I'm not in it, but I'll be wearing a wonderful outfit from Queen of Heart Costumes. Pictures are forthcoming, I dearly hope.

Who needs fandom when you can dress up for the sake of dressing up?

....

Links? Ok!

There Are No Ugly Women: Not that I think any of these women were ugly in the first place, but check out the before and afters....

Spider Cat: Does whatever a spider can (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] zombienought).

Where Vehicles are Left to Die: Like rusting elephant graveyards.

Oooo. Envy. I'm just now toe-dipping into steampunk (like I needed another fashion subculture) and would love to see some of these garments in person. Can't wait to see your pics. And dressing up for the sake of dressing up? Nothing. Better.

Most of them also became blondes.

What is this Underworld you speak of? Well, I'll read the site, but do you know who runs it?

It's a fantasy LARP similar to NERO. I've never been to an event before, and I don't know the organizers. I'm going up with a veteran....

The site is in a state of flux. It was going to be run in Hamilton, but now it looks like it's going to be in Barrie, instead.
