The leather corset is the only thing that sort of says steampunk to me.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?
Period, with a love of corsets as outerwear.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am from the coffee era, but I was meeting up with friends for coffee back in my 20s too. It could be that I'm a fuddy duddy?

I knew which picture it would be before I clicked. As for steampunk or period, it's so off from any authentic period that my default would be steampunk, but really on second look it's more Wild Wild West. In my head I'm hearing Will Smith singing that, by the way.

What is that picture? And yes, v. Wild Wild West. The corsets as outerwear usually says not period to me, or at least "someone's idea of period" rather than actually.
Thanks for the encouragement Bon Bon! Did you go through it and actually be able to run all the bits, 7 times before it "clicked"? Or just try to do it and get stuck somewhere and start over 7 times?

I like to think of that picture as steampunk, because it is so not any actual period.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The latter, meara. But even though I have to start over again, I'm pretty sure I won't have to do c25k again-- so it's definitely something that will ultimately "stick."

I can't go into Boxed Set until I watch the S2 episodes, but Orphan Black is blowing my mind. I still can't over the guy with the tail . And Tatiana Maslany is amazing. Only two more S1 eps left!

Because that's how you roll in your 30s--get together for a race, instead of go for drinks.
Today I got together with friends to drink chai, eat cookies, and watch a Bollywood movie.

Gotcha--that makes more sense. And goodness knows, Week 6 is farther than I've managed to get in the program ever before! We'll see how I do in my 5K tomorrow--first one since New Year's, first one since physical therapy and restarting C25K! I get a doughnut at the end, mmm.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is that Colin in the brown suit? I wouldn't call it steampunk but it's more costumey western than period western.
