The event is part of a whole fetish weekend for 3 days of fetish, fashion and fantasy in the most popular city on the west coast on March 12, 13 and 14th.
Thursday: meet, greet & play all night Friday: Burleque & Fetish with local hubbahubba revue and Ava Garter Saturday Night: Grande Fetish Ball with Tactical Corsets, Jewell Marceau, Emilie Jerard Fashion, DJ Xris SMack from NYC and many more
Here's a video from last year's fetish ball fashion show for a taste of what's to come:
Renderman graciously invited us to appear to demonstrate that you can survive in style with custom-made tactical gear. Renderman and Mike did excellent back-to-back talks on immediate and long-term survival respectively and the "hacker survival" idea was on the tip of everyone's tongue, they just gave it a name. Expect to see more evolve in this direction and the TacticalCorsets.com team will be involved and bring news of ongoing developments as geeks apply their hacker mindset to personal and species survival, which after all is the crux of http://www.spacepunk.org.
Maker Faire was amazing! The second live demonstration was great fun. We exhibited with Suzanne Forbes' amazing portraiture in Carnival Mechanique the steampunk zone.
The GETV crew ran into Utilikilt clad Alex Peake at Maker Faire because of a rumor that he was making Tactical Corsets! With beautiful model at the ready, Irina and Alex unzip the mysteries of this military grade corset.
Here's some pictures of the early prototype at the Faire. Note that this was a preproduction version with a zipper and not made out of Cordura as the finished corsets are.
Tactical Corsets will be exhibited for the first time in public at Maker Faire May 30 & 31. You can meet us and try on the corset with Suzanne Forbes' amazing arts in Carnival Mechanique, the steampunk zone.
Brace for twitterstorm...
Apparently some lovely people from the Nets like @slurketta started tweeting about Tactical Corsets today and it went from the small number who were at Barcamp to a rather large number of tweets and emails making us blush with nice things to say about our corsets and questions, the #1 question being "I CAN HAZ?" You can haz soon. We are figuring out how to scale production to meet the demand.
