I don't know the Madame de Pompadour entry, but this dress was stunning.

I thought this was nicely done. His wife made it but did not enter her own outfit, which you can see the very edge of. He also knew how to stand and walk in it to show it off.

This was Queen Amidala's mourning dress. Don't know the young lady, but it was incredible.

Thank you for these pictures, you look divine and the other costumes are AMAZING! For the first time, a con that doesn't have costumes which make baby jeebus cry!!!

There were some marvelous things out there. There were some WTF things out there too. People seemed to be having a good time. And I think I must find out what steampunk actually is, since there was quite a LOT of it.

Steampunk is Victorian era with technology, for the most part. Think of Will Smith's movie "The Wild, Wild West" for a general idea (plus what you saw at the Con). Check out these links:

http://www.steampunkmagazine.com/

and http://www.abneypark.com (for music to steampunk by - check out the track "Airship Pirates" from their new album)

Please, let us NOT think of "Wild, Wild, West." It was execrable.

I've slept since I wrote this and I realize I've actually read one of the classics: "The Difference Engine."

Much as I hate to suggest Wikipedia for anything, it actually has a well-thought-out explanation, both of Steampunk and Gaslight Fantasy (which I prefer).

Love the Mata Hari!
