Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

I know I don't get to vote, but the Hippo gets my unofficial vote. Kaaack! (sound of feline expelling hairball)

The position that the gloved hand is in makes me want to call out "Go on, do Deformed Rabbit... it's my favourite."

There's nothing pink this week. Going to be a tough one for Voltin.
I think I'd go with the hippo as well. It's the irritated look he has going.

I have to say that regardless of whether it is steampunk or not, the Hippo Ring is one of the creepiest things that I have ever seen.
In the meantime, Still waiting for nominations for this week.

In the interest of getting things moving, and with a view to tradition, I did a search for "Pink Steampunk" on ebay, out of the 192 results, here is the pick of the crop. Skull Human Head Hunter Totem Warning Pirate Cage Basket Long Steampunk Necklace. (Small Pink with Axe)  In fact the picture is of "Small Red with Axe", but there was not a good picture of "Small Pink with Axe", and the color was almost exactly the same. Kitsch, vintage, emo, steampunk, retro, pink cupcake earrings8)g~~60_12.JPG) And if you want something to read, a copy of that popular Steampunk magazine, 'Skin Two' SKINTWO MAGAZINE #61 KATY PERRY PINK BLUE RUBBER LATEX BRA SWIMSUIT STEAMPUNK Finally, something that should be very steampunk, but which, in my opinion at least, has had all of the steamyness sucked out of it. A pair of goggles. - - - With pink cats pawprints. Cyber goggles pink kitty paws NEW gothic rave ebm steampunk |

Hahahhahaha!~ That is so bad.... That is outrageous at so many levels. I bet it could win several "This is no _____" contests. Best "this is not Steampunk", "Best This is not a pirate", maybe a chance to being Visual Kei with all the colors and girly character - and maybe not, ha,ha,ha. I think Mr. Crow's last post has to be the winner, so I'll just post this knowing my choice is not as good a candidate (nor anyone elses for that matter) so as to not waste space ( hmmm. but this IS a waste of space.... well anyhow...)

So Steampunk is the "NEW" keyword??? (sigh) there's also "Pirate" (wft ... not a wench, not a swashbuckler). Aren't Whales kinda greyish (unless of course you've taken a boatload of acid). I don't want to know what KEI and JROCK mean. |

Visual-Kei is a Japanese musical style. It sounds like a cross between pop and metal and the performers are cute boys who wear fancy outfits. Jrock is short for "Japan Rock".

I know the answer but, how far are you willing to horrify our Steampunk brothers and sisters?
*stares at jumping mini-Chthulu avatar*
Visual Kei literally means "visual system" or "visual method". The closest analogy is Glam Rock in the West, but David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" was a very muted character compared to some of these artists / bands.. and this is Japan we're talking about, so it involves some traditional cultural aspects of Japan and medieval notions of alternative beauty for some segments of the male population (heterosexual or not), namely gender bending and sometimes even cross-dressing. As far as reception, the characters end up being regarded as pop idols (think Justin Bieber). Oddly enough in some of the current bands there is enough Victoriana fashion by way of Lolita fashion incorporated into Visual Kei. The picture doesn't reflect that aspect at all though...

So, what you're saying is that it CAN be killed with fire.
Well what are we waiting for? We need to kill it, with fire, or explosives, or even Cthulhu/ other elder god.

The only JRock thing about that pic is that the guy looks a bit manga-ish.

Just think, a hundred years from now historians will look back at Steampunk and tie these "items" together with Brass Goggles and scratch their heads in wonder and amazement.
