Divine went Steampunk last night. With a wonderful set design by Lara Darkbyrd.. it was perfect.. thank you Lara. Hosted by the Beautiful Cari Moorseider and DJ'd by our own DJ Sun. I know I had a great time. I hope everyone else did too. If I put your photo up and it isnt named.. its because I was having a drain brammage episode. :)
For those of you that dont know..
Steampunk is: ( I quote from Wikipedia.. cause it said it best... )
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era Britain — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.
Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" for such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine).
Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fan base and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less dystopian than cyberpunk.
Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk. "
