Steampunk Event

After the clan meeting on Thursday, Countess Ivy held a Steampunk Event in the arena.  DJ Lady Silvia played some interesting Steampunk music to set the mood. Countess Irish made the incredible moving wheels and gears dance floor just for the event. King Darrell added an extra L$2000 to the board for a grand total of L$2300!

"Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history." (from Wikipedia)

Steampunk is an increasingly  popular genre within Second Life as well. Quite a few of us had just finished the Steam the Hunt 3 hunt and were excited to show off our new prizes! The beauty of Steampunk is you can dress like Victorian traditional or more bolts and wires and steam driven technological. It all works!
