Anime USA 2009 – page 13
Don’t get me wrong, I think steampunk is cool. The whole reason I bought said goggles in the Dealer’s Room was so I could use them in a costume I’m working on. But still, it’s kind of silly that i could just throw them onto a FANTASY costume for kicks and giggles and have people treat it like it’s suddenly %100 pure steampunk. ‘Cos people did, even though The Bard’s getup looks NOTHING like your average Victorian dandy or what have you. Okay sure, it’s all brown and stuff, and that’s kind of the default steampunk color, but still, really?
I guess Rainier Wolfcastle was wrong. The goggles, they do EVERYTHING.
(Historical Notes: Clearly, the real problem here is that nobody bothered to read that one Animazement comic! Also, I never did get around to finishing that steampunk thing. At this point, I can’t even properly remember what it was going to be, just a vague recollection of some other props it would have used. That’s pretty much the entire story of Steampunk Cosplay, right there.)
