Happy New Year!
The holidays continue! Downton Abbey's Season 5 will warm 2015!
Lady Mary will shock us with her exploits and Lady Rose will dazzle us with her shenanigans. I dare not write another word. I've already watched 8 episodes and am 'patiently' waiting for the UK Christmas special to be loaded to YouTube.January is a great time to visit Norman's NEW thrift shops!
Main Street in Norman, OK is the new home of Outreach Thrift [near Big Lots] and a brand new Goodwill [next to Wattaburger]. They each have sister stores on East 12th Street. The Outreach Thrift is near the Eastside Walmart & the Goodwill is next to the Harbor Freight.Great out-of-season items include: swim goggles, water guns, and plastic pumpkins. All of these can be sanded, painted and 'steampunked' during the shorter, colder days of winter. Just be sure to have proper ventilation.
Look for Disney's Atlantis & Treasure Planet for a bargain price. These animated movies are a great way to corrupt younglings towards the steampunk aesthetic.
Steampunk accessories are found year-round now @ Hastings & Party Galaxy!
As steampunk and diesel punk become more 'mainstream' a few albeit plastic yet affordable options do exist on Main Street. Hastings has goggles and a few other accessories with Harry Potter fandom. {Spellcheck doesn't know the word 'fandom'. Yay! Maybe we aren't as 'mainstream' as I'd feared.} Anyway, Party Galaxy keeps their steampunk costume bits year round. Annoying really, since they are not considered 'Halloween' costumes and put on sale. *sigh*Lastly...
If wishes were horses...we'd all be in California for the Steampunk Carnival aboard the Queen Mary! http://hrmsteam.com/venue
