I suppose this is the ultimate Steampunk picture. Some rusting industrial machinery including that enormous cog, a fearsome looking raygun, tight clasped corset, befeathered tiny topper and the russet haired Queen of Steampunk herself, the divine MADmoiselle Meli.

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.

Does this count as overusing the word steampunk? It’s GORGEOUS, though. Can I make something with velvet already…?

In my student days, a friend of mine in London came across a couple of very original ladies who produced a little printed magazine called The Romantic. Google has found me their website. They also produced cassette tapes of amusing “news” from the Great Invisible Empire of Romantia. The cassette was to be put into a tape recorder hidden inside the shell of an old 1930′s wireless set. Imagine listening to the hissing cassette and hearing a precious female voice imitating something like the Queen but pronouncing the “r” as a “w” like children in the 1920′s in aristocratic families (as in Be vewwy quiet: I’m hunting wabbits), saying: “This is the News of the Imperial Home Service, coming to you from somewhere in the Great Invisible Empire“!
The implication is that you imagine that you are back in the days of the British Empire, namely the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I found it all very funny and amusing – until. It turned out, according to something I heard, that these two ladies set up a “school” variously in Ireland or north London, where teenage girls could go and get an “old-fashioned” education with corporal punishment – which seemed to have sado-masochistic overtones. They have a site at Aristasia and it all still seems to be in the wrist! Obviously, those two ladies are outrageous eccentrics, and my friends and I took it all as one big joke.
Hi, guys! This is my friend Charmaine and she’s just made a tumblr per my recommendation. She’s into a lot of the same oddities as I am (Beauchene skulls, steampunk, etc), so if you like me, you’ll probably like her. Follow Charmaine!

It must be Whitby with two Tophatted and Begoggled Ladies in view. It is of course Lady Selina Arkham Kyle & Sir Edward Ichabod Pennyworth of HMAS Discombobulous.
