The Pirate Ship Unstable
A gathering of Columbus-based Steampunks, but open to others worldwide, the Pirate Ship Unstable is an unsteady zepplin with eclectic occupants that flies predominantly in Irish airspace, plundering any English vessel that crosses our path. Our engine might be held together with yarn and our flag is a patchwork, but we have plenty of tea and there be shine in our hold!See More

Cincinnati, we are coming back for you! We are honored to be playing the first annual Steampunk Empire Symposium at the Atrium Hotel, and you better believe that we are hitting the ground running!

Minerva Crowe replied to Miss Marie Countess's discussion steampunk style"I prefer edgy Victorian ;-)
Victorians wore their corsets within their garments and I prefer them outside of - or in lieu of- proper victorian attire.I also have a fascination for garish colors or patterns- absinthe green corsets or black and white…"
Minerva Crowe replied to Miss Marie Countess's discussion steampunk style"Lady A,
I can certainly empathize when it comes to the lamentable quality of many off the rack corsets. I have found that superior quality underpinnings are worth the investment as they improve the look of all of my ensembles. Personally, I look for…"

Steampunk in Wonderland
a place for all things mad and wondrous, upside-down and backwards. so if you find yourself tumbling down the rabbit hole come sit at our table, have some tea, solve a riddle (or not) talk to our garden and have a very merry un-birthday. See More

Realistically the only things I would change if it were my wine might be the labels and fonts. The coloring and fonts are not instantly recognizable as steampunk. Perhaps if the vintner used…"
Profile Information
- Introduction
- Minerva Crowe is a talented arcane engineer, medium and spiritual guide. Her father is Alessio Corvo- an Italian Count with a keen interest in all things occult. But Minerva’s considerable psychic gifts are courtesy of her Irish mother- Morrigan Byrne; one of the most treasured jewels of the demimonde and a clever psychic in her own right.
Although the matter of questionable parentage has kept her ostracized from the soirees and outings of polite Empire society, Minerva is well acquainted with the ladies of the aristocracy as she is engaged most evenings in their salons contacting dead or future relatives or providing much needed advice on future events.
Minerva’s clever mind and quirky inventions such as aural receptors, tarot drives, and necromantic snares have also led to longstanding patronage from those in Academic circles with more esoteric interests.
Minerva has almond-shaped brown eyes. Her thick, wavy, neck-length hair is black with streaks the color of blackberries; a direct result of spending a bit too much time in “The In-Between.” Minerva is short and has a curvy build with skin the color of Devon cream. She has a crooked smile and she moves with the silence of a cat. She is terribly fond of hats, absinthe and her dead Uncle Seamus- her favorite spirit guide and sometime annoyance.
A few years ago, Minerva married Aleister Crowe- a dashing privateer and purveyor of found treasures.
IRL- My husband and I are leaders in the Technology field living in a lovely Victorian home in New Orleans. We greatly enjoy events such as The Time Traveler's Ball and look forward to making the acquaintance of like-minded individuals.
Best Regards,
Minerva Crowe

Saphron Paeril said… Dearest Mrs. Crowe,
You are most kind in your request for friendship, which I accept with all gusto! Staggeringly decent of you to remember me, I hope you both are well. It would also bring me great pleasure to know that tomorrow brings great happiness for you, and with each stride, your spirits are lifted.
Madam. *curtsy* Til we speak again...

How are you, Mrs. Crowe? It's been some time since we've been in contact with each other. What has been keeping you busy?

Ms. Crowe, I am so very pleased and earnestly looking forward to meeting both you and Mr. Crowe! Are there message boards or some otherway for people find to link up? This is my first Con, and so many things will be new and unknown.
Speaking of first Con . . . I must admit, Dear Lady, that I only have one complete steampunk outfit (the one in my photos), which I suppose one could consider Day Dress; it will likely be worn Saturday. I am assembing a traveling outfit, as I will be motoring south to the Con, and plan to have it on when I arrive Friday. I am only partially pleased with my "ball gown," which needs much work (it's pretty much a long, slim-fitting, pane velvet dress w/2 long panels of material I've attempted to fashion a bustle out of); I am eagerly awaiting the arrivial of my first dress form via post, and intend to remedy the unfavorable parts of the garment by April.
I am not certain my long-winded description helped you in any way, but I can say it got me a bit more organized!
Fondly,
Miss Westinghouse

Dearest Ms.Crowe,
A wise man once said that "form follows function," so it is only right that your up-coming creation should provide you with protection and not just ornamentation. I really must keep that in mind for my next, hmmm . . .
I am pleased, if not somewhat relieved, that Cincinnati has been agreeable to you and Mr. Crowe. I cannot imagine how one could go from living in a place of glorious history and culture, to that of Ohio. I must appear to you a snob, but I feel, as this state is that of my birth, I have first-hand knowledge of its shortcomings.
It would be so lovely to meet you in person at the Symposium! I can see what a tough choice you have ahead. It gladdens me that the spirits have your best interest in mind.
Fondly,
Ms. Westinghouse

Ms. Crowe - it is a pleasure to accept your friend request, considering our mutual fondness of hats; have you created any yourself? I adorned an existing top hat last month and now I am hooked!
Will you and Mr. Crowe attend the Symposium this spring? BTW, where is Loveland, dear?
