Hello my darling Gentle Reader, Gaslight Steampunk Expo was my last event of 2019 (and my last event for a while I’m taking a travel hiatus). The theme was Ancient Egypt, and here are all the outfits I wore…
Blue pattern maxi dress, with blue turban, net gloves, teapot purse.

New favorite dress, eShakti navy dress with gold stars and capelet (custom length & sleeves) and pockets, gold sandals (old Sofft), tan leather drivers (old Modcloth) gold turban decorated with vintage brooch, champagne bottle purse.
New gold evening gown (Amazon special), brown velvet shrug, vintage brown leather gloves, brown wedge sandals with shoe clips, brown turban, vintage jewelry.
Gold eShakti cocktail dress (custom neck line, length, added sleeves), gold sandals, cream capelet, champagne bottle purse, vintage cream gloves, gold turban.
Gold skirt and top (Amazon if you’d believe), Dark Garden striped Swiss Waist, vintage red gloves, tentacle parasol, new massive red teapot bag, red turban with brooch on it.
Yours (drowning in gold),
Miss Gail

Quote of the Day:
“I see now that there is a great deal in what Aunt Almeria says. She considers that there are terrible pitfalls in Society.”
Sir Richard shook his head sadly. “Alas, too true!”
“And vice,” said Pen awfully. “Profligacy, and extravagance, you know.”
“I know.”
She picked up her knife and fork again. “It must be very exciting,” she said enviously.”
~ The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer
Your Moment of Gail
“I suspect it may be like the difference between a drinker and an alcoholic; the one merely reads books, the other needs books to make it through the day.”
(Interview with The Booklovers blog, September 2010)” ~ Gail Carriger
Questions about Gail’s Parasolverse? Wiki that sheez!
How am I the only one voting for the tan one? With that high natural waistline elongating the beautiful hip curve plus the enticing peek of one leg? I ADORE that look!
Wait…..wasn’t there a slinky, all red outfit? Or was that in an alternate universe I visited?
Alternate universe although I have worn such things before.
