MM the start of Steampunk

I had quite the wonderful discussion with a friend of mine, who is a historian, about Steampunk. And he showed me this music video. The video was based on a silent movie from the 20's. It was the first time the Neo-Victorian style that has turned into Steampunk was explored in today's pop culture media.

I loved this song when I was young and this video just cracks me up! But hey, thanks for Steampunk, Pumpkins. Great thanks, indeed.

Tonight Tonight- Smashing Pumpkins

Kicked out of the Nest

Today my little baby business has been shipped off to Oklahoma to be presented to the public at a genuine Steampunk convention. The amazing Captain and Crew of the Airship Horizons has offered us a space at their table, and though we will not be there in person I'm there wholeheartedly in exuberant spirits! 

I'm so full of gratitude for their kindness and support. This is the type of community that I have been missing. These are the kind of people who change the world. And today they have changed mine.

Thank you very much Miss Michelle, Mr. Dan and all crew and memebers of Airship Horizons.

Besides that I have been working like a mad woman!! our dear friend at Airship Horizons is be so very gracious and giving Live Steamy a spot on his table at each of the up coming cons that he and his crew are attending! I'm preparing the first box of merchandise to be sent off to him now. So though we cannot be there in person at least we will be there in steam spirit. (ha! I honestly couldn't resist)

Then we have another event in March. We will be selling at this event http://yknotevents.com/coming-events/ It will be our first convention that we've ever sold at and I'm bursting with excitment but also totally stressed. I've been making things like crazy but even after so much time I still feel like we just don't have enough merch. But I'll keeping working on it until the very last minute! Guess that's just the way of it.

As a side note: if there is something in our etsy store that you have been eying I would really suggest digging in and getting it now! Our etsy is going to be totally barren during these events and those things you love may not come back. So get them before they are gone forever!
