No really, what’s up with the goggles?
July 25, 2008
Ok, so in the post before this one, There is a video of me (and my itchy eye) showing off the goggles I made. Here’s a bit of an explanation.
First you need to know about “steampunk”: a fashion based off an imaginary world set in a post-apocalypse/Victorian era. Most machinery is run by clockwork and/or steam. The world is populated by renegade inventors, towering steam powered war machines and robots.
And let us not forget airships and dirigibles (look it up)
It is not steam punk I’m attracted to, but rather the making of interesting gadgets and the Do-it-yourself aspect of the fashion. Plus goggles are awesome.
Truth be told, I think the whole “STEAM PUNK” scene is a bit silly. Steam punk bands sound more like goth bands, and they dress in full Victorian costume like metal bands of old. Plus, the fashion is based entirely off an imaginary world.
But I’m not averse to keeping the odd top hat or pair of goggles in my wardrobe.
This new video series is a spoof on steampunk, and also a way to show off my steampunk creations.
Hey, who says I can’t make fun of it AND enjoy it?
