kambrielAt long last ~ onstage photos from our Steamcon II Kambriel fashion show in Seattle! The song we performed it to? Aqualung by Jethro Tull... yes, really (though our version was minus the long guitar solo thanks to our friends Summer and Roger kindly remixing it for us)!
A charming snapshot of our write-up in the Steamcon newsprint programme:

Date: 2011-01-24 07:47 pm (UTC)I know what you mean ~ afterwards, I realized I hadn't gotten to catch sight of where you were seated on Saturday... Otherwise, I'd have been sure to do something silly like wave at you ;)
At first, I was trying to figure out why the copper silk outfit with the patchwork skirt wasn't in these photos, then I realized, these must all be from the Saturday show, hence the red/gold stripes in its place.

Date: 2011-01-24 07:59 pm (UTC)I love that silver and black striped silk - to die for! Such luxurious textiles overall! And the designs are so intricate and stunning. I wish I could have seen them in person. You outdid yourself with this one!

And on the second photo, Alex looks like Sean Connery, imho... ;)

Date: 2011-01-25 05:34 am (UTC)also, how awesome is Jethro Tull? Got to see them a few years ago her in AZ. 60 something and still playing like 20 instruments each AND dancing!
no subject
Date: 2011-01-25 06:10 am (UTC)Hurrah for a fellow appreciator of Jethro Tull ~ I wasn't sure if anyone would get what I was doing with that, but it just struck me out of the blue as the perfect song to use. Something about how each stanza has it's own feel really works seamlessly with transitioning different outfits and looks to the changes in flow of the music. I wish you could have seen it in person ~ I believe Ian would have approved!

Date: 2011-01-25 10:09 pm (UTC)We would have loved to have had you there for the show, but you have an open invitation anytime. The only thing is we'd have to figure out what to do as an emergency supply of "proper chips" ;)

Date: 2011-01-25 10:19 pm (UTC)I'm glad you enjoyed the song too ~ I do seem to have a knack for off the wall selections, but it really went perfectly for the overall feel, and the original Jethro Tull was an agricultural pioneer/inventor afterall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(agriculturist)
