Btw... what exactly is steampunk... and... more importantly WHY ?
Google a few pics, it's a style, a look, a whole branch of creative craziness. It gets defined in lots of ways, often as the Victorians, in the future [ie now]
To me it's a combination of 'The Wild, Wild West' and 'The Laague of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. I don't go for gadgets, but I like to wear Victorian/Edwardian styles, with an anachronistic edge, like using mad fabrics, or just sticking a bustle over my jodhpurs! [Take a look at my blog, and search for 'steampunk']
It's an excuse to make interesting garments, and to dress up, socialise, and have mad fun [like no-aircraft flying diaplays, nerf gun shoot outs, tea or parasol duelling, etc etc]
