Oh god, I have a new timesuck on the interwebs: [link]
It's a social networking site based around people posting photos of their outfits. They have a section for gothic. They have a section for steampunk.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.
Spike ,'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Jilli, what is steampunk clothing? I'm only just barely beginning to understand the concept of steampunk and cyberpunk in terms of literature.

For some reason I'm picturing a gang of Starbucks thugs entering your cafeteria and smashing the place up....
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm literally in the most secure building in San Francisco, probably the entire West Coast. They have their own police force. There's a firing range inside this building.

Quasi-Victorian crossed with Mad Science. Brass hardware, goggles, looking like you've escaped from a Jules Vern story and are about to threaten people with a raygun.

Sorry for the boring quilting updates, but I got the first border on this quilt and had to share. Take that, Grandpa!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love the notion of steampunk clothing. I'm not so fussed on the usual color scheme for it (brown, khaki, brass findings), but the idea of it is so damn cool.

Yeah, that's an excellent way of putting it.
Goggles are probably the ultimate steampunk accessory....
