Personally, I think an awesome white goth with parasol in a steampunk group would be fantastic, and played by no one better than our resident Cleric. Oh, how I wish you were coming along to Chicago for the con this year... @Blue-eyes-Green: So I have heard (in regards to Steam Boy’s wtf plot, or lack thereof).

Stupid Fox. Steam punk is one of those phenomenon that always sort of amaze me with its detail. It's the sort of stuff I wouldn't know where to begin with (ignoring the fact that I hate to wear corsets.) Spunky, intricate, and there seems to be a level of can-do determination it displays as well. But it is punk, in the end. And I have a proposition. Steam punk cosplay groups look best when there is a neo-victorian included in the group. Someone who's the lady, the white mage if it were. Someone who's wearing lace and velvet with a parasol. I take no credit for the term, it was coined by a high-school friend of mine who was a goth for about two years, and then discovered she could have even more fun with her clothes if she included pastels in her wardrobe. I just think it sort of completes the era-like picture. Oh can I just say that I've watched Steam Boy multiple times in two languages and still have yet to figure out what the plot is.

I can see how the goggle like glasses would appear break-worthy though. @Janskoller: Ah, but if it is well made like that awesome arcade console, you wouldn’t have to worry.

It can look so much like an antique that I'm afraid that it would break if touched. I find steam punk interesting and more often than not cool, but i seem to want to keep it at arms length away.
