Actually you forgot to mention the awesome telephone behind you! Phone ? How about the fact it is in a log cabin ? how old is the cabin? The phone is epic, AND FUNCTIONING. It's their main home phone, actually. As for the cabin, all my wife can remember is it was built Circa 1850-1870. And let me tell you-them people waaaaaaaaay back when, they must'a been NINE KINDS OF SHORT, I bang my head on nearly EVERY SINGLE DOORFRAME!!! Some other tidbits about it-the stove is an electric stove from the Great Depression, the Wood Stove is the main source of heat for the entire house, they have a "Drop the bucket in the well" well built right into the side porch, a full blown woodshed... It's BEAUTIFUL. AND it's on one HELL of a nice piece of land! Next time we get out there, I'll try and get some more pictures. |

Xenos, that sounds fantastic - staying in places like that must really make you realise how complicated life has become and how simple and beautiful it can be if you can get rid of all the modern rubbish and just live!
(I always feel like that after we have been to a medieval living history weekend).

My dear, you are QUITE lovely. Blue suits you!  Xenos, that sounds fantastic - staying in places like that must really make you realise how complicated life has become and how simple and beautiful it can be if you can get rid of all the modern rubbish and just live!
(I always feel like that after we have been to a medieval living history weekend).
To that I would simply retort thus: Having spent a great portion of my life living in third world/underdeveloped countries (I really must get BACK to Sudan, now that South Sudan is free), I've tried to implement the "simple living" philosophy in my daily life. 900sq ft house, late model stationwagon, used appliances, all that rot. It's a nice life-very little in the way of bills other than electric and water, our cable for the internet, and the phone bill (a sad but necessary evil in today's world). My family is the only family I know what don't freak out when the power goes down in an storm. We just break out the candles, crank up the handcrank radio, and go to it! |

Here I am in my non-steampunk Christmas dress. I did not make it. I had Anthony Canney of House of Canney make it for me. I modeled one of his gowns at Telsacon.  |

Not very steampunk, that's true, but it actually looks somewhat dieselpunk to me. Or something like that. Whatever it looks like, it looks great on you! |

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

I appreciate that this pic is more Punk than Steampunk....but I made the trousers myself, and customised the boots and the steel adornments are mine own work too.  |

I went to a christmas-themed picnic the other week, and managed to dig up one of the photos of me. Gosh it was hot that afternoon. I wish I hadn't worn my nice woollen trousers, as light a wool as they were. |

Could just be the glasses and the look on your face, but you kinda favor the fellow from Flight of the Conchords in that shot, mate. |

Not many of you may know that I dabble in the area of stage make-up. So for the few who did know and keep asking me to post, I have a few steamy make-up photo's to share. The first couple are from the December "Steam-Up", an event that happens every month, and I thought I would try something new. This took me about an hour and a half to put on. I did do step by step photos of this so I can later post a tutorial on how to do it along with a list of all the products I used. The idea is that I have a metal plate under my skin and have suffered some kind of damage to my cheek and now all my gears are showing. How terrible to show ones gears in public! A little of my actual outfit with the make-up slightly hidden. A close up shot of the actual make-up. I am super happy how the rivets turned out! The next set is a piece I made at my work as a removable prosthetic. As a removable prosthetic I can take this off and then later put it back on whenever I like. It saves time down the road when doing this type of make-up. I don't have to glue the gears on each and every time. This took me about half an hour to do and used an amazing product called 3rd Degree. Me looking quite shocked I have gears growing out of my forehead. A close up of the prosthetic. I was going for an "infected" look with the skin tone around the gears. I think I managed it fairly well. Cheers, Nef |
