Dieselpunk New Year!

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

Victorian Walk in Guthrie Dec. 13th 5pm to 9pm

 Best Family Event of the Season just north of OKC

http://www.guthriesterritorialchristmas.com/WALK.html


Victorian Walk [or ride!]Evenings are the highlights of Guthrie's Territorial Christmas Celebration. No where else can you spend an evening strolling brick streets enjoying life as it was in Christmas's past.

Windows throughout the Downtown Historic District come alive with living scenes depicting  the joys of the season. There will be roving carolers and peanut vendors in the streets, shopkeepers and elegant folks dressed for the celebration in period costumes and the welcoming ambiance you've have come to expect in Historic Guthrie.



Constance Bleu Vert

So very excited! Local artisan Contance Bleu Vert's artwork covers the walls in the lobby of the Pollard Theatre in Guthrie from December 4th through January 4th. If you plan to attend any of the performances of "a Territorial Christmas" take time to view the works of BleuVert.

She is also a picture window postcard during the December 13th Territorial Christmas walk in Guthrie! She'll sip tea and work on a charcoal sketch in the window of the very elegant Vencedora Boutique. 122 West Oklahoma Ave. Guthrie OK from 5pm until 9 pm that evening!
