The Exposition Universelle 1889\u00a0 laid the foundation for subsequent world fairs such as the Great Columbian Exhibition in 1893.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This year, I&#8217;ve been invited by the Gaslight Steampunk Expo production team to put together a collection of slide-history talks for the event.\u00a0 If you are interested come join me for one (or all) of these presentations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Fashion At the Fair<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Danse du Ventre: 1889<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>The Eiffel Tower<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Highlights of the Exhibition<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For those of you who cannot make it to this event this weekend, but would like to attend a digital version of one of these presentations, be sure to sign up for my newsletter for future details.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><strong>Did you spot me and my buddy, Nancy Hay, clad in assiut in the video above?<br \/>\nDawn Devine ~ Davina<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>September 26, 2021\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2021\/09\/packing-for-gaslight-steampunk-expo-2021\/\"><img width=\"84\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Danse-Du-Ventre-1889-3-copy-2.png?fit=84%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-attachment-id=\"8487\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2021\/09\/packing-for-gaslight-steampunk-expo-2021\/danse-du-ventre-1889-3-copy-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Danse-Du-Ventre-1889-3-copy-2.png?fit=288%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"288,512\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Danse-Du-Ventre-1889-3 copy 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Danse-Du-Ventre-1889-3-copy-2.png?fit=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Danse-Du-Ventre-1889-3-copy-2.png?fit=288%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><p>Gaslight Expo 2019 &#8211; Cosplay Recap from Christopher Matista on Vimeo.
