I’ve been to other types of conventions but SteamCon 2009 was my first steampunk convention. This particular steampunk convention took place locally in Seattle so it was a bit of a staycation for me.

In a recent post to Not Possible IRL, Alpha Auer lamented the unfortunate experience she had at Hair Fair 2009. Stuck in molasses, she desperately struggled to move any distance at all. And the molasses wasn’t part of this year’s Candy Land theme; it was lag.

Hair Fair 2009 has opened to the public!

Remember, for the duration of the fair, this is the only place you can buy the three brand new Curio Obscura hairstyles (The Lampshade Hairstyle, Let Them Eat Cake Off Of Your Head, and the Pocketwatch Hairstyle). The Rococo Fantastico hairstyle has also been made exclusively available from [...]

I know it has been a while since a new release at Curio Obscura but, rest assured, I have not been idle.
