Summer White Ruffle Skirt
I attended CondorCon yesterday, February 27th, 2010 down in San Diego in my new outfit. It was very intimate and warm; not like the huge anime cons. It was also virtually totally steam-oriented and I thought that was fabulous!
The vendors' room finally had many things that interested me. No strange, foreign anime stuff. And I don't mean foreign as in "from Japan." I mean foreign as in, "not known to me." Anyway, I digress.
The day really was wonderful and one of these days, I'm going to figure out how to stop the corset and boots from hurting and really make it perfect all around. Anyway! It culminated with a masquerade fashion show, which I was encouraged to enter. Hesitant though I was, I did. As a result, my outfit was given the name of "Summer White Steam."
It wasn't a huge show; only eight entries, so competition wasn't too tough. Whatever the case or reasons, I did manage to win a prize!
There were three categories. One was for "Best Presentation." That was won by a mother/daughter group. The daughter played the concertina, which is oh-so steamy and, as I wasn't watching, I can't say exactly what the mom did, but I think she danced/performed. It was cute from what I heard and understand.
The second category was mine entitled, "Judges' Choice."
The third category was "Best In Show," and was deservedly won by a darling outfit. She was an airship stewardess. She had an airship-styled outfit with the little envelope military cap, a bolero-type jacket with winged appliques, short bustle and ruffled panties. The coupe-de-gras was the cigarette-girl vending box/tray. You know, with the neck strap?
And so, with this, I believe, this closes the Summer White Steam ensemble.
