crappy new year

bum stains. i have just left the new years eve party early as it was not very nice. Nobody understood what my costume was meant to be - a couple of people thought i was either midge ure or highlander but noone has ever heard of the steampunk.

I guess i am ahead of the times. a nasty man pulled off the 'TEAM' out of the word 'STEAMPUNK' from my costume leaving me in a flasher jacket with S'PUNK running down the front of my trousers holding a broken food processor. It took me around 10 ackward minutes to realise that this is not good look for approaching girls at partys so i decided to walk home. they were all too nice anyway and well out of my leauge.

i am upset that i missing the kissing at midnight but in a way i am happy to be here kissing mum and morris instead whilst watching jools holland play with his hootnanny.

steampunk costume finished

as well as buying some bottles i have also completed work on my costume for the fancy dress party ttomorrow evening. All afternoon i have been rummaging through the loft finding bits and bobs and now have my long raincoat, goggles and modified food processor - all stylised up!!!! for the uneducated at the party who dont know what the latest fashion is i have glued the word 'STEAMPUNK' using cogs along one trouser leg which will explain things; i just hope those lot can read!!!! ;) .. It is very rewarding to make my own taylor made costume for the party and it beats renting out a spiderman outfit that probably wont fit anyway.

steampunk costumes

i am watching the christmss edition of doctor who. although i do not understand what the hell is going on i do like the 'steam punk' costumes that the alien people wear. I am meant to be going to a fancy dress party on new years eve and a steampunk costume seems like a good idea. i was originally planning to go as columbo however i only have the long raincoat so everyone would think i am a flasher again .

For those who do not know what steampunk is, it is a new fashion just like the goths, except that you wear a black top hat, monacle or welding goggles then glue cogs to some trousers and any modern technology that you carry. if yoou have seen the film 'Wild Wild West' or 'Back To The Future 3' you will get the idea. i think it looks really cool in an old fashioned futuristic way.

on friday i plan to wear mums bowler hat to the party and i can still wear my columbo coat if i stick some mechanno all over it. i also have a broken food processor in the kitchen so i'll carry that around with me to accessorise. at least i will be dressed up fashionably at the party and wont look like an idiot.
