I will admit, this one has me worried, where as this one has me confused. Now, this one has me speechless! I can't see how any of these are in anyway steamy. I do like the horns! They can be a nice touch to a hat or some sort of robotic faun. |

What do you all think about these "steampunk" sunglasses? The image is on the large side. |

Its obvious..... The Snowmen's gears are frozen. That makes them steampunk.

 Is the winner this week. The primary colors obscured the gears around the eyes for so long, when I finally 'saw' them, it was too late. Damage was done. The 'Snowmen' charm and the plastic phone cases that were decorated with purse chains from the 80's are just about as offensive. Wonderful selection this week, everyone! (Wonderful = Wretched) |

Same here. It has too much potential to be dismissed outright. I would love something like that as part of a watch fob for a mad doctor persona. I get the goth or steampunk....but it is definitely not "wicca." |

Truer words were seldom spoken, the mad doctor angle is certainly worth considering as chloroform was used as an aesthetic and is still used to extract morphine from poppies. Having said that, I think it unlikely the good doctor in question would carry it around in their pocket (or around their neck as the case may be) unless they were up to nefarious deeds. |

It would appear that paintings of native british birds are now 'Steampunk'. Although it has given me an idea for an unusual collection. I wonder if I can get some of the smaller song birds into my flower press..?  |

I wonder if I can get some of the smaller song birds into my flower press..? At least with the wallpaper pattern and colors, they got the right time period. The bird however looks way too pop-art to even be classed in anything related to the Victorian age, let alone steampunk. |

I really wonder what kind of twit marketing seminar this person attended. it's almost like they read under the turds on the assorted bits of paper at the bottom of a birdcage. |
