Maybe go to a hardware store and look for welding goggles? Although they might not be steampunk-y enough, I dunno.

(And I have a foot and a half long Appa plushie sitting on my yarn stash, I am not going to laugh at you.)

Swim goggles from Paragon down by Union Square, painted with a Rust-Oleum copper finish from the Home Depot on 23rd St.?

Hm.
Don't bother going to Lowe's or Home Depot.

Your best bet is a local-ish hardware store. Or a military surplus store - obviously, I'd call first. Or Ebay, and you have no time for that.

If I weren't sitting in an airport, I'd overnight my ready-to-be-steampunked goggles to you. :/

What you need is a pair of old school aviation goggles. They'd look AWESOME. In the city I can't believe there isn't a place that would sell such things. Hmm...

Okay, whoever finds them buys two pairs and calls the other,

My goggles were originally meant to be ski goggles, I think, but they're separate lenses for each eye and they have a pretty nice vaguely steampunk flair to them. They're what I'm going to be wearing this weekend.

So you might even try athletic stores, or any place that sells sports eyewear. You might get lucky.

I saw quidditch goggles at the Party City on 14th Street a two months ago. It was in there ransacked Halloween area at the back corner of the store.

If not, I've got a friend that has several pairs. You might be able to borrow one. Email me.

Ha, I was totally just in there on the hunt, and they didn't have anymore.

I've put a personal APB out for goggles. I'll let you know when I hear back from some people.

Thanks. It's probably not as important as I've decided it is, but I need something to hold my currently absurd and too short to put back hair down.
