Steampunk!

Steampunk is my latest fashion/aesthetic obsession. With its broiling mixture of the Old West, 19th century science fiction, pirate romanticism, Victorian nostalgia, and alternate-universe, steam-powered, fantastical technology, steampunk has captured my imagination. I've copied this style in a subtle, everyday manner recently, but I wish I had the courage (and resources) to go all the way. Actually, maybe I'll give my burlesque character, Kate Fox, a steampunk makeover. Now SHE could pull it off.
