Queer makeup party at the rad pad at 5 am with Kat and John.
some costumes I loved from the Steampunk World’s Fair 2013!!
top to bottom: Steamponies (AAAAAAAAHH I LOVED SPIKE and he said he was very sad there was no Rarity cosplayer that he could drop down on his knees and profess his love to, lol), Soup of the Day: The Tears of Our Enemies (ehehehehehehe), Planet of the Apes (the prosthetic was so good! it looked just like the same quality of the original movies!!), and VASH THE STAMPEDE
Woooo Steam Punk World’s Fair photoset and write-up!
So my incredibly rad pal Gianna dragged me to this con (so we could crash it as Aquabats, heheh) even though I only have a passing knowledge of the steam punk genre and Steam Powered Giraffe, but I must say I was really impressed by everything! A lot of it was beyond me, but I could still appreciate the incredible craftsmanship and atmosphere the convention had. Everyone was ridiculously friendly and a surprising amount recognized us!
Also, we encountered the wonderfully rad and super cool Blair (mylittlerinzler.tumblr.com) who hung out with us and was a huge enabler when it came to obnoxious photos of Gianna and I (just you wait, I got another photoset coming eheheh). Thanks for that, and for chilling with us and being generally great! You’re awesome, Blair.
So yeah if I had to sum up SPWF, I would say that it was fantastically impressive and a great time with friends!
I squee’d back and forth with these Aquabats for a minute, lol!
great pics! AAAAAAAAHH MEMORIES
Friday May 17th @ the Steampunk World’s Fair
wherein I met the Walter girls! :D
other notes about Friday: a bunch of folks complimented my tutu, which I made myself, so I was happy and proud that people loved it. :3 I was all soft femme on Friday. this was supposed to be my steampunk Fluttershy cosplay, but I had a handful of costume mishaps (the wig got tangled and I lost my wig cap, then the ears I made were too big to wear without the wig, and I didn’t have time to make the wings, lol) so it wound up not being that recognizable but oh well… imnsho I was still adorable!
the tutu is shorter and yellow in the front and pink and long in the back, fyi… you just can’t see that in this pic.
Sunday May 19th @ the Steampunk World’s Fair
me in basically my “fuck it I’m exhausted and hungover I’m just gonna wear what I do when I go out” clothes, plus this lovely dude (whose name I forget, whoops) and his effin’ amazing contact juggling skillz
Some of the many fantastic people at the Steampunk World’s Fair yesterday. Gah, it was so much fun! I wish my friends and I had been able to stay there for the whole weekend.
Freaking the Darth Vader HAD A LIGHTSABER UMBRELLA

SPWF may 18 2013
Some more photos of fantastic people from the Steampunk World’s Fair by myself and my crappy camera.
Charlie Chaplin ahhh! KILTS! FINN! COATS! BLAH SO AMAZING!
oh yeah and lol btw
I saw various members of SPG but was too petrified to actually go up to them and speak to them
like on Friday night during my volunteer shift, I saw Steve sitting in the lobby for a while but I was scared to go ask for a pic with him because I was wearing my volunteer shirt and idk I felt dorky??
and right before their performance on Saturday night Rabbit was milling around in the tent and people were taking photos and JUST AS I WORKED UP THE COURAGE to go up and ask for a pic…. Rabbit dashed away D:
THEN TODAY Michael Reed was sitting outside the lobby while I was out there having a smoke and chatting with friends and I just really reeeeeaaaaaalllyyy wanted to go over and say hi and get a pic but again just as I worked up the courage he went back inside the hotel and disappeared
fuck my life and my shyness, lol I’m going to be turning 29 on Wednesday and I can’t even go up to a person and say “hi I really like the things you do”
oh well, I’m working on it
I did chat with the Walter girls for a bit tho! :D I kind of babbled about blue lipstick and recommended Morgana’s Crypt to them because they said their Ka’Oir stuff faded kind of quickly. (good to know, since I was thinking about getting the blue Ka’Oir lipstick myself!)
I AM BACK HOME IN BMORE AFTER THE STEAMPUNK WORLD’S FAIR
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
BEST. CON. EVER.
I SAW SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC (INCLUDING STEAM POWERED GIRAFFE HOLY SHIT CAN I JUST SAY I STARTED BAWLING DURING HONEYBEE BECAUSE REASONS) AND MET LOTS OF FUCKING AMAZING PEOPLE AND HUNG OUT WITH A FRIEND I HAVEN’T SEEN IN FOREVER AND I SAW SO MANY FABULOUS COSTUMES AND I DANCED UNTIL MY LEGS ACHED AND MY BOOTS LITERALLY STARTED TO FALL APART AND I GOT VERY DRUNK WHILE WEARING GOGGLES AND IT WAS ALL GREAT
I LOVE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE RIGHT NOW
…at least until the inevitable con drop hits. :x
i literally cannot convey how long I laughed after i realized that boobytrap backwards is partyboob
i really hope that this does not end up being the text post that defines my entire tumblr career
ELIZABETH AAAH!! SO GOOD
i mean
in literally every other situation, if a guy cheats on a girl people are likely to ask what the girl did to drive him away
were you being clingy? did you not put out? were you being a tease? were you smothering him?
if a girl cheats on a guy she’s just a slut, no questions asked, no explanation acceptable
I ~love~ how I’ve seen this in poly relationship double standards too, ugh :/
Serpent Mound - Ohio, USA
The figure of a giant snake, apparently uncoiling itself, was excavated in the late 19th century. The massive serpent is nearly a quarter-mile long. Recent carbon-dating research suggests the Fort Ancient culture built the monument roughly 900 years ago.
The serpent’s body is made of raised berms of grassy earth that weave across a plateau. On the summer solstice, the setting sun aligns with the snake’s head.
The earthwork is now surrounded by a park that offers beautiful hikes through leafy forests, beside creeks and along rocky cliffs.
