Super cool, but I'd say it's more cybergoth than steampunk

At the time I was being a part of a steampunk act of a costume group. I'd say this definitely has some cyber influences but if you look at the overall picture of 30+ people it was most definitely steampunk. Some steampunkers do the dreads and goggles as well

Yeah, I guess diversity goes along with style, I dress steampunk myself, but we do it more victorian style

I uploaded another pic it was indeed super hot, I almost felt like a stranded whale after a few hours. I'd planned to wear it for three entire days but I couldn't wear it for more than 3 or four hours. Sadly the tail was destroyed by rain on saturday evening (also quite ironical, lol!)
