Today, Fashionable Reader, I present to you fashion inspired by the cover of the
first omnibus. This first of a two volume Parasol Protectorate omnibus was produced by the SF Bookclub (it includes Soulless, Changeless, and Blameless). It is the only English-language hardback edition of my books.
It has been cosplayed (although I'm not certain if it was intentional).

It's also quite similar to the cover of
Changeless, which I occasionally cosplay.

Retro Rack is also on
facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.
The omnibus cover looks great, as do the cosplay pics you posted! I'm looking at that steampunk cake and really wishing that I had one made for my wedding. Ah, well. There's always the vow renewal ceremony in several years :-)
