“Gearing” Up for Mardi Gras (Part V)

Most of last week I revealed slowly what I was going to be wearing to the 2012 Downtown Phoenix Mardi Gras Parade as a part of the Arizona Steampunk Society (SteamAZ.com)

It started with a shave… (View Tuesday’s Post)
Then to the often overlooked accessory of footwear… (View Wednesday’s Post)
Almost always a must, the vest… (View Thursday’s Post)
And it’s not Steampunk without Goggles… (View Friday’s Post)

Now for the pictures from the event… we had a blast, thanks for everyone who showed up!!!

Looking forward to next year!!!!

(thanks for everyone who shared the pictures on FB)

About Russell Davis

My name is Russell Davis, and I am a maker of Steampunk Inspired Creations. From a young age I ‘ve been into making stuff myself. I didn’t want my clothes or personal effects to look like everyone else. So I modified them to be different. In 2003, I started making desk lamps and desk fans as a way to stand out at my boring office job. After posted a few pictures online, someone commented that is looked sort of “Steampunk”. As well as getting requests to make them for other people. From then on I was hooked on the subculture or not only Steampunk, but the whole marker movement. I put my heart into everything I make and find great joy when others enjoy them as much as I do. I’ve been told for years that I needed to sell them because other people would buy them. As well as making items, I also collect antiques and transform newer items to look as though they are antiques. All of this will be types of things listed here. Most things I done in the past are special to order items, which are also available. Please contact me directly if that is the case.
