Lady Lara hosted a Best in Steampunk Event on Wednesday night.  Lord Kane was spinning the tunes as DJ for this phenomenal event! She did a fantastic job decorating. She never ceases to amaze me with her eye for detail and creating an atmosphere. Baroness Cari added to the prize board for a total of L$900.  It was packed by the end of the evening and everyone had a great time enjoying this increasingly popular genre.  Here are a  few more pics of her design work:

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!

Here is Irish aboard the giant Steampunk ship that landed in the arena.

Steampunk Event

On June 28 Lady Ivy held a Steampunk Event. Held in the club we listened to her DJ some really cool Industrial Music and discussed the different aspects of steampunk. Here's Wikipedia's definition of Steampunk:


Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in 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 set in Victorian era England—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" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.

Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase 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 cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.
