I just posted this else where but I'll add it here as well  a similar shot of me in my DANGER VEST patent pending  One of my convention outfits (sort of steampunk)  as a bit of foreshadowing -- Me as "the Doctor" and my lovely Miss Eli as "The Bride"  and then, from our actual wedding  |

Best wedding ever. And there's something to be said about the maniacal stretching of one's glove. Awesome.  |

Thanks all. The saddest thing about my wedding was that it destroyed a beautiful pun. Before she took my last name, my dearest was Elizabeth Ann Gentry... I married Elizabethan Gentry!!! She never liked the name Elizabeth, so she took the opportunity to change it legally to Eli... and as long as she was changing her first and last name, she picked a new middle name as well... so now she is Eli Danger Wright. My wife is awesome. More Wedding Photos Here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/68897997@N00/sets/72157594407654304/ |

So....Danger really is her middle name? |

Yes. Yes it is.  Or as she said walking out of the courthouse... "Now I am legally recognized as a Danger to the government.... Bwa-Ha-Ha" |

I'd like to take a short moment and say;
Cheyenne Wright?
THE Cheyenne Wright?
Good lord, I find myself having somewhat of an attack of surprisingly masculine vapours.
Ahem...
Moving swiftly on...
Does it make one a braver man to marry a Danger, or for his wife to become a Danger?

Well there are a handful of Cheyenne Wrights. Not a lot but enough that I refrain from accepting the moniker of THE Cheyenne Wright.
But... Yes, Among the small pool of Cheyenne Wrights, I am indeed currently the most broadly known.
As to the question of bravery; I can say that I live a life with Danger not out of duty, or courage, but Love. A far more compelling quality.

Hmm...not something I'd want for day to day wear, but a definite statement. Also it looks like I could have them fitted with my prescription too(mine is of the thicker sort, even with new materials I cna't get the ultra-slender wire frames like i have always wanted).

I am decidedly straight, but I think I would like to marry your wife.  |

I can't be entirely certain but either he would have a fair bit of a problem with this proposition, or he would be encouraging up to the point of creepiness. Either way I've a feeling that your sanity, I believe that concept exists even in this day and age anyway, would not survive.

More style in the coat, I think. Victorians wore things that were more fitted. A different shirt? Tucked in and with buttons down the entire front? And a tie? Also, your sleeves seem to be too long. Some nice leather gloves would be good. |

A true alternative subculture is one that not only questions the social status quo but poses viable solutions to some of the perceived underlying problems. Difference from the norm is not the same as superiority to the mainstream unless it can be argued that the difference is positing a better way.

I have read them...full button down is good for me,. Although, I still like my polo shirts. I don't tuck in shirts. Ever. Not my thing...And the coat is quite large..I intend to get it properly tailored, when I have some more capital.

A polo shirt (tucked or untucked0 would be perfect under certain circumstances. My amour occasionally plays rugby, and he wears shirts similar to yours. A lot of ist depends on what kind of persona you wish to present. In elevated company, you might wish to tuck your shirt. If you wish to affect the air of a workingman, a gambler, or a sportsman it might matter less. But even those had particular types of dress based in decade- I'm looking for pictures. You might also remember that even working class Victorians were usually much more formal in dress than people are now. http://canadianheritage.org/reproductions/20145.htmOne reason a worker or other man might have tucked in a shirt is because otherwise he might have gotten pulled into his machinery. another is that since clothing was usually more tightly fitted than now, an untucked shirt would have ruined the line and distracted the eye from the waistcoat, which was usually worn by men unless they were doing heavy labour. The cloth cap does work nicely, however, particularly if you are a sporting gent or a worker. I like the bowler, too. Good for Sundays, and for the rest of the week depending on how you make your living. |

Indeed Madam. I appreciate the critique. While I do admit the fact my dress is not Victorian (as previously stated), I am working toward such a wardrobe. For now, polo shirts, and button downs, will be all that I have.
I'm really going for steampunk, more than Victorian...although I'm sure I don't fit either just yet.

It;s something that can be done a bit at a time. Flea markets are a great help. But even if you are not going for a full-on Victorian look- what time period attracts you? Pick a decade, and then look at pictures of men's clothing from that decade. Then figure out what additions would make it 'steampunk'. It will undoubtedly be somewhat Victorian, if you want it to be steampunk- but clothing changed over time, and different professions wore different items. |

iindeed...and I have looked at the various periods. I still can't for the life of me figure out which one to go with. It will take time, I realize thi as well...my first acquisitions were the hats, a watch, and the coat..Next I plan to have the coat tailored, then find some other things to wear, I just won't tuck in the shirts.
