Abusing the "admire" loophole to the utmost, on the basis that the thread desperately needs a higher nerd quotient...

And actually, honestly, I think all the above are much more interesting & imaginative designs than anything else posted in the thread. As for the relevance to how I dress? Obviously limited as cosplay has never been my thing! 
Perhaps, though, they reflect that I've never taken real-life objects terribly seriously. Home decor, high-end gadgets, watches, cars... none of them really grab me though they certainly offer some transient amusement. Cleverly crafted food & drink ranks a little higher perhaps. But most of the artisanal/handwork aspects intrinsic to the make of things that many enjoy appreciating on SF goes right past me and I don't "feel" all the various shoe/whatever pron-type threads beyond a vague "yeah, OK, pretty shoes" level. I can appreciate it intellectually, of course, but not emotionally. A well put together outfit, though, that I find engaging because it's a well-sketched manifestation of an imaginary idea. The components and their history/nature/make, matter much less to me than the synthetic whole. Not zero, mind, but less. The pics above are of clever ideas; somehow their very unreality/impracticality enhances that in my mind.

I would like to take the opportunity to point out I not only own 3 out of 4 items pictured in my post, but they're also often partly visibly in my WAYWRN pics. Now that's dedication. However, as they're only models of the imaginary items in question, I think that means it's also fair that people can post real-life cars/speedboats/high-end-stereo-systems they don't own, provided they at least possess a Matchbox toy of it....
