community Steampunk Comes To Vernonia Steampunk fashion is wide ranging and has no set guidelines. It combines mod- ern styles influenced by the Victorian era. The models in Verno- nia were seen wearing interesting combina- tions of gowns, cor- sets, petticoats, bus- tles, boots, suits with vests, coats, top hats and military-inspired garments. The outfits were accented with accessories that in- cluded goggles, para- sols, walking sticks, firearms, binoculars, and breathing appara- tus, The group visiting Ver- nonia rented the large concrete building next to the lake, known as the Chip Shed or Fuel House, to use as a set- ting for their gather- ing. About thirty pho- tographers and models teamed up and wandered the site looking for con- crete blocks and struc- tures to climb on and use as backdrops. The day provided and opportuni- ty for everyone involved to network, build port- folios, and have some fun. If you were at Vernonia Lake on Sat- urday March 23 you might have noticed a gathering of people dressed in unusual cos- tumes and makeup, us- ing odd props and tak- ing photographs. The group was a collaboration of pho- tographers, models, make-up artists and costume designers who were visiting Vernonia for the day, dressing up in neo-Victorian Steam- punk outfits and taking photos. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fic- tion. It creates fan- tasy worlds inspired by the industrializa- tion of 19 th century and often features steam powered ma- chinery, fashion, culture, architecture and art from that era. Steampunk blends technology, fictional machines and inven- tions to create litera- ture, video and film, art, and clothing and fashion. The outfits and props were most notable at the photo shoot in Vernonia. Vernonia Lake House Vacation Rental april18 13 2013 Girl Scout Camp Vernonia Girl Scouts of all ages attended their annual retreat this year at Camp Moun- taindale with the help of family and community support through the purchase of potted tulips. The girls would like to say “Thank you!” to everyone who purchased Girl Scout cookies and to Vernonia Sentry for allowing us to stay warm and dry while selling right here in our hometown! The proceeds raised from the sales of cookies will be used by the girls to fund an outing that is “girl-led”, support the overall organization as well as to finance scholarships for those who cannot afford membership fees. Several troops will be using cookie funds to participate in the Doernbecher Dash 5K walk. We thank you for helping to support our youth organization that’s building strong girl leaders!
