SupaNova : BrisNova 2012

I was lucky enough to get time off of work this year to head to Supanova in Brisbane on

November 9th-12th

I had a blast.

 Michelle Pfieffer Cat Woman

 Blue - Master Chief

 Catwoman and Batman

 The cutest little Jawa I ever did see

(Yes, I know what a Jawa is!!)

 A box of crayons

(well i thought it was rather clever)

 Tom Hopper from Merlin

 If you don't know what this guy is then you really don't care anyway

 I got Spike's autograph. He was really nice and chatty and shook everyones hand

(A girl I met on my way out of the line nearly fainted when I told her that)

 Had to have my photo taken with Elvira

 A heap of the people in the Vaginal Fantasy book club rocked up to SupaNova and we had a bit meet up. Its an online bookclub so people came from all over the country.

The founder of the bookclub Felicia Day was there for Supanova and met with us aswell.

Borrowed some of Jess's photos :-)

The Crystal Head Vodka

By no means was this cheap, but its a lovely vodka!

Did I taste enough of a difference to pay the extra dosh?

Hell no!

I paid for the skull bottle, which goes well with a gothic or steampunk kitchen

I shot it the first time around and its a warmer alright, went down well and still a pretty good vodka

Steampunk Repaint -

So this is my steampunk repaint of the 80's Keyper toy.

Cute aint she?

Available in store

 This is what she looked like when I got her.



Book Club Review: Dearly Departed

Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It took me forever to finish this!
For a zombie book it was rather boring. Ms Dearly is a spoilt brat, and how many time did she faint?? Bram was kinda nice for a dead guy, really sweet in his love for her. Pam kinda got kick arse, though timid in the start of the story clearly extreme situations bring out the best in some people.
This book was boring but was clearly setting up the series and more than likely gets much better in the next few books. I doubt the events in the series will make sense without reading this one, so if you are into 'zombie love' then this is probably going to be a great series.
There are clearly some very serious racial issues explored in the book, using the New Victorians vs the Punks then the Living vs the Dead to get the points across.
This also didn't really read as a steampunk as the 'punks' seemed the only ones with steam-technology.

Stemapunk Gun : Before , After and After and After

 The toy gun I bought, it was $1.50 from Sams Warehouse

and batteries WERE included

Steampunk Alchemist Gun

 So I am working on this gun, for my steampunk outfit.

I'm going to go for an Alchemist look

Its still not finished. Need to add a little more to it to make it right.

I'm going more silver and black steampunk than bronze and white.

Though as you can see I have added some gold and bronze.

The steampunk dragon caduceus is the same as the patch I got for my steampunk bag

(though it occurs to me I probably haven't yet blogged about the bag.)

Anyways it's a match

Its a light and sounds gun so the two white balls light up all red and blue but I want to still put a few coats of glow-in-the-dark on the balls for when the guns lights stop working.

The semi-pointed tip is also glow-in-the-dark.

These were originally highlighters from some medical company when I was working as a medical receptionist.

I have glued the tips inside them shut so hopefully that will prevent loss of the ink.

The ink is contained inside another tube so they look pretty cool and I've wanted to do something like this with them.

So I have attached two of the lids to the top of the gun and this will act as the loading device.

Then the 4 capsules are interchangable

Book Review: Riveted (Iron Seas #3)

Riveted by Meljean Brook
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh I really loved this one. The ending made me cry and the action left nothing wanting. Annika is marvelous innocent but no social concience to tell her what not to say and a really unique style. Small yet able. And David - WOW a real steampunk man with alterations, though neccassary its nice to have one of these guys as a lead. There is a 'MINE' moment but David doesn't seem to actually want to own Annika which makes a wonderful change.
Can't wait for the next book to come out.

This book can be read without reading either of the other books as these characters are completely seperate from Yasmeen and the Iron Duke.
