The Steampunk World’s Fair 2012 – Event Review

Last year I had an enormous amount of fun at The Steampunk World’s Fair. I met so many people from different places but had a common interest--the steampunk. This year, I went to it again and would like to write a review here.
The steampunk world’s fair was an annual convention since 2010. I did not attend the first convention but heard there were over three thousand people that time. In this year, there are far more four thousand people there. It is interesting that the convention is held in the hotel. In this way, the event is more similar to a fan convention.

The Radisson Hotel seemed to be an excellent place to hold the event this year. It features courtyards, ballrooms, smaller workshop rooms and nice hotel rooms. With all those basic things setted, the congoers were really having fun. Everyone wanted to show off whatever it was they had. There are mainly two types of congoers in the fair: one is in the full costume with luxuriant accessories and the other is the new comers who just begin their journey in the steampunk world. The participants exchanged their informations and got the costume inspiration from the others. There are also the dance and music shows that add the atmosphere to the whole event.
Three days were really fast. People all looked unsatisfied for the event lasted only three days. But we enjoyed ourselves.

Steampunk Goggles Completing Your Style

Not all the steampunk outfits features the goggles. But the goggles are the most classic accessories in the steampunk style for most part. The goggles did not accidentally be the steampunk accessory. They serve some purposes. One of the most practical purposes for goggles in the steampunk world is that steampunks are generally required to make or customize their own gear. It is unarguable that the goggles also could protect the eyes. Steampunk welding goggles are not only popular as a great accessory, they’re important for many steampunk tinkers as well.

Other than the practical use of the goggles, the goggles may also pertain to your style. For those people who have a passion for the airships, a pair of avigation goggles makes it a natural significance. A pair of motorcycle goggles would have the same importance for anyone with a love for bikes or motorcycles. Exploration goggles are additions as well for any who have an interest in such activities. Steampunk goggles can be added to an outfit to complete the look and show your special taste.

The goggles in the steampunk style can represent your interests and individuality. If you are fond of the steampunk style clothing, you could have a try on the steampunk goggles.
