But New Yorkers’ costume party has already started from this weekend, along with the New York Comic Con festival.

Tons of younsters and superpower hero/heroine enthusiasts flocked together in groups to see who is attending to show off their super power this year. Some of them may not be living in the city. But the heck, Who cares? As long as you are here to make your presence, you’re part of the community.

Spotting some of these half-naked super heroes and Roman soldiers walking by on the street of LES (half way down in Manhattan) at chilly night was a big secretive amusement for a person who was a part of the super-hero group during the day.

Why don’t you join the festival next year? You’d better hurry. It might take a whole year to develop such a cool persona.

Hmmm…

If I dare to summarize in one phrase, it would be “A Fantasy Trip to the Futuristic Past!” or “Retro to the Future!”

Steam Punk used to be underground culture here in New York. It has become more embraced by a large population.

But still… There are many New Yorkers who lead secret underground steam punk lives in the city. Traveling to the futuristic past, dressing up like a cutting-edgy science fiction novelist or a Victorian romantic idealist or a mad scientist who just invented an insane gadget that’s gonna change the world forever… These underground parties unbeknownst to many people in the city… When it’s getting dark at night… traveling farthest to the Brooklyn land…

A good friend of mine is one of the steam punk New Yorkers. (I would give him this credit even though he abandoned M-land and moved to Brooklyn-land and even though he claims he is Rochesterian, not a New Yorker)

His name is Andrew, a smart and creative IP lawyer. If you happen to be a mad scientist who invented the coolest gadget in the world or in trouble being chased by evil dictators, give him a telegraph call. He’s gonna be a smart ally for you. Check out his website @ SteamLawyer.com.

During the week, I went to the Women’s Mafia / Stella Zotis show at Bryant Park Hotel, featuring Stella Zotis and Alisha Trimble’s new designs. The place was packed with many fashionistas, but I could spot some Runway Project designers…
Stella is one of the designers from Runway Project Season 5, showing her new edgy leather couture look during this fashion week. I’m gonna meet her in person sometime soon again, introduced by a mutual friend. Looking forward to it. It’s always exciting to meet talented NY designers and artists.

A lot of boutique stores, department stores and other fashion shops were open until 11PM, serving lots of cocktails, DJ music, designers and models, along with raffles, gifts and lots of discounts (the sweetest of them all) for shoppers.

I browsed through some of the fun venues and met some interesting people and outfits(!). It’s so much fun to hang out with lots of fashionable New Yorkers and check out their unique styles. I just wish everyday would be like this, full of music, good looking people and, most of all, all the big discounts everywhere. I also wish I have more green stuff in my pocket to experience all of these to the full. Sigh… downside of living in this expensive city.

The winners of tonight’s raffles might be all the DJs who would probably have had a lot of love calls from all over the city.
