The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

I LOVE THIS!
Let me tell you, what I love about this, I love:
1)the way she dance
2)that she is dancing in public
3)that she is dancing in a cosplay of Harley Quinn
4)Harley Quinn (I really like Harley Quinn)
5)that she look so happy (like the real Harley Quinn)
6)that she look so much like Harley Quinn that I suspect she also know gymnastic and psychiatry (read about Harleen Quinzel if you don’t know what Im talking about).
7)how she put out the tip of her tongue while dancing.

Just to let you know I did train in dance and took Psychology at A level, so you aren’t far off :P

You may like to know I am also f%%king crazy like Harley :D

windofthestars: Engineer Abby Bonifaunt | Original Steampunk design … I’ve been really getting into steampunk costuming these last few months.  It’s been a breath of fresh air compared to costuming based off source material.  I love the freedom of artistic expression I have while making my own designs.  Plus if something isn’t working out in the design, I have the ability to change it.  It’s a lot of fun creating a character/design and thinking of what wild story to go with it that really just helps add to the character design in the long run.  I’ve been meaning to do more original work, and while this wasn’t the direction I saw myself going, I’m glad I traveled down this path.   This is my latest design that was a personal challenge to myself to create a Steampunk outfit that didn’t rely on corsets or skirts as main elements in the design, and that felt more punky than Victorian.  I still wanted a touch of femininity though, so the lace appliqué framing the flowing inserts was the perfect choice.  If you want to see the original design sketch you can see it here: http://windofthestars.tumblr.com/post/36678516461
