Captain Goofball reporting for duty! |
Given Valentine's day is always a clustercuss in terms of planning this year we bypassed it all in favor of celebrating early on Saturday and going to the Los Angeles Edwardian Ball. (There is a San Francisco one as well as a New Orleans one too.)
It's not
really Edwardian, it's really a sort of Edwardian-1920s/steampunk/fantasy electro-swing costume party. And this year for some reason I felt very meh about costuming. Since I've been watching Agent Carter and daydreaming about the
Lee Miller cosplay I'm going to do for Costume College I was in more of a 1940s mood, so I decided to pull together a
dieselpunk look from my closet and I have to say I was pretty happy with it!
The ball was at a new venue this year. While Downtown LA is very convenient for us I have to say I liked the other theater better. This seemed a lot more crowded and didn't have the lovely rooftop dancing area that we'd had in the past. Nonetheless we had a good time.

Hilarious clown DJ |

The top hatted and monocled audience |
They had hilarious Gorey themed cut outs and speech bubbles in the hallways.

Horrors! |

and the always fabulous Dark Garden Corset Fashion Show |
We found and lost friends and cell service was terrible so we ended up just hanging out in the basement where the excellent jazz was. Get a load of The John Brothers Piano Company!
