At 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:

It was a very good show.
It all went by so fast I didn't remember it was a sliver and black stripe silk you were wearing.

While I love all the outfits, the top Gorey robe/coat is BRILLIANT!!!! It also looks PERFECT for the gentleman wearing it!

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.

I love the way that coat turned out ~ I wish you could see a back view of it too! I wanted it to have more flow and flare than a classic lounge style coat to stand up to the personality of the wearer... The colours suited him really well too ~ you can probably tell I get inspired by who the models are going to be as well ;) I'm thinking there will be more of these modified Gorey coats being made in the future ~ probably as a new catalogue offering.

Not bad at all considering the early-bird hours! You guys were terrific, and the reaction the "death ray eyes" K gave the audience got when he made his first appearance on stage was pretty unforgettable ;)

Amazing as always!! I'm so glad the song worked out. :)

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!

Absolutely stunning! One of these years I'll make it out of the vendors' room long enough to see one of the shows.

Very, very cool.

And for those on the East coast, who can't attend events in Seattle, here's Philadelphia's Dorian's Parlor.

The song worked perfectly ~ I only wish you could have been there with us. I found the narrow black and silver silk first (quite expensive!), and then after splurging on that, found the wider stripe for a bit better of a deal (and ironically it was the width I'd originally been searching for). I was bound and determined not to have any of it go to waste though, and decided to combine them together in a completely different way than I'd originally planned and really enjoyed the effect!

It was a good group ~ everyone had a lot of fun hanging out with eachother backstage too... That "family feel" is very important to me, so I'm always so glad when it works out that way :)


Can you believe this was just about a week after we saw you?

You'd really pull a look like that off fantastically!

Brilliant as always!

Also, Aqualung has been stuck in my head all day. I forced myself to not make the faces as passers-by.

I think Alex would be rather pleased with that compliment :) And I can totally see the resemblance there!

nom nom on all fronts. Thanks for sharing. Your shoes say hi!
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!
