So the nagging question of money keeps following me around, and unfortunately, one of the things I have been interested in recently is Steampunk and costumes.
I want a Steampunk costume. I'd probably be some sort of mechanic or something, because when it comes down to it, I for some reason mentally relate more with street urchins, low-level laborers, common sailors, and the rest of the lower class than lords, ladies, and tea. Maybe it's because I only just started drinking tea.
Why do I want a costume? Well, I still love dressing up. Don't hate. I see a lot of other people dress up. There's a guy on my Facebook feed calling himself "Steampunk Boba Fett" and sporting a Steampunk version of Star War's Boba Fett's armor. I think many adults still like dressing up, but just talk themselves out of it.
Well, if I'm grown up, that means I can do what I want!
Within budget...
Anyway, it would be awesome to find some excuse to dress up. I can probably find one in my steampunk group, especially if I dress up like my role-playing character. Need to find some good boots, first. Halloween would almost be an excuse, except I don't dress like adult girls dress on Halloween. And don't go to parties or bars. And don't celebrate Halloween. Bummer.
So "cons" aka conventions? Of the nerdy variety? I'd probably never go, unless it were Steampunk. And really close. But I am trying to keep track good costume ideas for when/if I ever might need to dress in costume.
So, in order of occurrence (in my head).
Quinlan Vos
Yes, I realize he is a he. You find me some other Jedi with dreadlocks! Ok ok, fine, Eldon Ax, a Sith Apprentice from one of the books also has dreads, I think. I can't find a picture of her, though.
Or, Sarah Kerrigan
She's kind of the leader of the Borg/bugs in a computer game. Also has dreadlocks. Sort of.
Welp. Send me any other costuming ideas for the day when I have money AND am invited to a nerdy-but-awesome costume party! Those exist, right?
