Sighted

To the man I saw walking along College Avenue this morning at 9:00 AM dressed in full steampunk regalia, including top hat and monocle, I just want to say thank you for contributing significant awesomeness to our neighborhood, and also to my morning's commute!

Impressive. I can hardly be convinced to put on makeup and shoes that tie, much less full anything regalia by 9am :)

Me too! In my late teens and early twenties I was an 80s proto-goth and I did full regalia, including Robert Smith whiteface, right from first waking up every day. I embarassed my mother so badly when we were in public together! Looking back, I don't know how I put so much focus and time into my clothes and appearance. Now, it's jeans, ponytail, and no makeup most days!

But the guy this morning looked fantastic. :-)

perhaps he had a late night and was going home? :)

Maybe! But he looked pretty dapper and lively, not at all the post-party morning "walk of shame" you sometimes see.

If only my job defined business casual to mean business wear for the late Victorian mad scientist.

Someone who works in my office building wears Victorian-influenced suits (sort of Victorian lite), with beautiful silk brocade vests. I don't know him, but I always enjoy seeing what he wears.

Oops, I didn't mean to use that icon!

And yet, it is strangely appropriate.

If dressing like a late individual from any era, wouldn't that imply zombie more than scientist?

Only if I'm so late I don't have time to make coffee. Then I look like a zombie.

Hee, that's great!

Ah those historical pre-enactors.

Like so?

I'm so disappointed in myself for wimping out on Pre-enactment Day last (two?) year. I couldn't find folks to go along with me, though.
