This past Saturday was Wild West Steampunk Day in Wichita's Old Cow Town! Mom and I went, and had an amazing time! We love steampunk, and have been wanting to attend this event for a while. I had been planning my outfit/costume for a while, but hadn't really done anything to really put it together until the morning of the event! I found a lot of inspiration from the costumes around me, and my costume next year will definitely be much more planned out! :)
Now, on to the pictures!
 |
| This was taken in the morning, so my goggles were still on. I have lots to add to my costume for next time! |
 |
| This was taken in one of the old houses, later in the afternoon. I had given up on going without my glasses! |
 |
| Someone had brought their pet kangaroo, it was incredibly soft! He was 4 years old and very gentle and friendly! I think that he was softer than a rabbit! | |

 |
| The phrenologist was one of my favorite parts! He was fascinating, and had a great sense of humor! |
 |
| Phrenology is an old study of tiny organs that were supposedly in the brain, the size of which developed different parts of your personality. |
 |
| The phrenologist in action! |
The next shots are mostly of the other attendees:
 |
| This gentleman was on a penny farthing! |
 |
| The woman in red even had extend able wings! |
 |
| A steampunk Darth Vader! |
 |
| I thoroughly enjoyed the stables, and was hoping for a stagecoach ride, but the lines were too long. |
|
|
Well, I think that's about it! I definitely recommend going, and if you don't know much about steampunk, they have a demonstration called, "Steampunk 101" to help!
I believe that I linked the site in a previous post, but in case not,
here it is!
Now I just have to get my Rose Tyler costume ready for
Smallville Comic Con!
