At some point or another - i will make the assumption that we have all attired ourselves in steampunk or period clothing.
If anyone wishes to do so - let this be the thread to post imagery of yourselves - thus to give an idea of styles for the new and forthcoming
Regards
Mr.Parsons

Well- start it as I mean to go on - I know some of these certainly aren't steampunk - but i enjoy making photos "old" stylee.  (Pith Helmet, Suede Jacket, Silk Scarf, Leather Gloves, Luger P-08 Pistol)  (Volkswagen Beetle, about 7 years ago, and from left to right: Me, Me, Me and Me)  Myself, as snapped by sally, one random evening after a few beers, attempting to get my banjo in tune. And before anyone else points it out - yes there is hideous innacuracies here. The turn of the century style of the photo with the WW2 poster in the background, the retro team photo using a 1974 Beetle, and so on. But feel free to post your own images please. Make it a group thing! |

Done a bit of Live Roleplay, but nothing Steampunk yet! But it does mean I have a lot of costume laying around: here's a big version of my avatar:  Top hat, Gothic coat, goggles, wing collar shirt, black velvet waistcoat and cravat, all within easy reach! Oh, and a skull. Got plenty of period clobber, tailcoats, stripy trousers, lots of black velvet: my favorite has to be the pinstripe black velvet suit with the long high button jacket- I'll have to pop it on and post a picture, it's luverly! |

I really only have one period pic, but I'm really digging on my new Prince Philip hat, so I'm sure there will be more soon. <img src=" http://www.datamancer.net/pics/steampunk_pic2_sm.jpg"> oh and this one, doing my best somber portrait-sitting expression <img src=" http://www.datamancer.net/pics/rather.jpg"> Then there's this one I guess. Not really period because im wearing jeans, a wallet chain and a hoody, but there's a bunch of neat wood and brass stuff around. <img src=" http://www.datamancer.net/pics/tinkerin2.jpg"> That's pretty much my everyday outfit. *Sigh* I'm like a friggin cartoon. |

The shirt is not so vintage looking, but... And of course, my lady companion is quite modern in her clothing tastes... All that skin...   This was my girlfriend's b-day dinner at Teatro Zinzanni in Seattle. Not quite a steampunk establishment, though I still recommend it, more a modern take on burlesque/Vaudeville. Worth checking out, and if you went in full steampunk regalia, you wouldn't look out of place.  |

"circus" fashion shoot:  daily getup: Belgian wool police officer's uniform (a suit you can do heavy labor in), european rail conductor's hat, goggles for riding in the rain and grinding  Fancy occasions: Top hat from Camden lock market (so hard to find an extra-large in the states), used bobby's cloak (it's full of patches, really got years of use, it's wonderful), magic feather.  Jaunts on the Pennyfakething: Velocipedal gayness  |

This is my day to day wear. Not precisely Victorian, but once I get some goggles it'll be moreso. It's a very nice white dress shirt, found at Frenchy's (used clothing store), an Old Navy jacket and a hat I found at Mark's Work Wearhouse. The gloves I picked up at my great-uncle's house.  |

Ah, everyone looks bloody fabulous! Very inspiring! An older one of me, from April of 2005:  And a recent one, from two weeks ago:  Corset busks are good places for hiding pocketwatches. Keep the images comin', ladies and gents! |

k, never thought i would post anything like this, but I really liked the hotel room I am in in London, I like the Sherlock Holmes collection I just picked up in the background of this picture (Annotated 3 volume set, 80 quid), and decided to sepia it just for the "mood". I present to you... me.  |

I've finally got some photos of myself so I thought I'd post one on here.  I'm not super-hard-core steampunk in everyday life because I tend more towards the Japanese kodona/dandy style, but it's fairly similar. |

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  |

I went out the other day with my sisters to take a few photos... Here are the results: EDIT: Just realized these pictures are kind of big. Here are the links instead. This and this. Not much steam, unfortunately, nor an inordinate amount of punk. But I think it works. Especially the cap. |
