Description


Captured 4/27/14, at the beautiful Renaissance Faire, held at the beautiful Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, in semi beautiful Irwindale, California. Because of the overall activity and color at the event, I really didn't pay much attention at the time I snapped this doll, bizarre as she looks, but on close examination of the photos, I find that she is a real enigma, equipped with some kind of arcane apparatus on her back - possibly a jet pack, flame thrower, or radio - plus all kinds of little mechanical gewgaws on her bod and limbs. She may have been a time traveler from Mad Max or some other kind of post apocalyptic society. In my humble opinion, she was apparently an anomaly and/or anachronism from a future era. A ZOOM is essential in this instance. Tally ho.

Likely she is portraying a character of steam punk origin. Lovely image, good catch.

I keep getting spam e-mails trying to sell me one of those ''enlarging pumps ''....trust me, they don't work :-) Have to agree with kelkor, very much in the Steampunkt mold, and one of the best 'live' examples I've seen. Well 'not' spotted but captured anyway Harry.

Perhaps it is no more than a device for dispensing tea, given the accessory I discern photo below on the left side !!!

Steam punk indeed, it's the latest trend in fashion/fancy, Harry; ultramodern and quaintly low tech at the same time. Try looking it up at Wikipedia, I'm sure they'll enlighten you and leave you ready for your next encounter with a follower. What excellent shots you got of her costume/accoutrements, well done you!

From wikipedia: Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery,[1] especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognisably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the modern authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld, Stephen Hunt and China MiƩville. Other examples of steampunk contain alternative history-style presentations of such technology as lighter-than-air airships, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Steampunk may also incorporate additional elements from the genres of fantasy, horror, historical fiction, alternate history, or other branches of speculative fiction, making it often a hybrid genre. The term steampunk's first known appearance was in 1987, though it now retroactively refers to many works of fiction created even as far back as the 1950s or 1960s. Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures, that have developed from the aesthetics of steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, art nouveau design, and films from the mid-20th century.[2] 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.

Oh well, thanks to this and the comments under your picture I learned something new today :-) But I come in because I like it, colourful and well captured.

This costume is surely not medieval, rather something from the future. Okay, let's call it steam punk. Superb capture of this slender lady.

Cool! Nice shots! I'm looking forward to my local big faire opening in only a few more weeks, but scrambling to finish a new costume for the event.

She has an excellent (i mean VERY COOL) outfit BUT spoils it totally by having a bloody mobile in her hand! What is it with people? They have vibrates? Put the things in your pocket!!!!! That grip aside, brilliant mate, top shot of a fine outfit and a cute girl! Rob
