I don't know what the french says though.Well my French isn't up to much but, "I am a woman with arse" seems to be the gist of it.Quote from: SeVeNeVeS on August 05, 2017, 08:02:45 pmOk not exactly Steampunk, but I don't see anything wrong with producing a brass knob of this shape, The phallus has been depicted in various forms since ancient times, Cerne Abbas Giant being a fine example, so why not?

Her steampunk dress? Maybe? Only explanation.Have a chair
Amoeba Modern Steampunk ChairThe Amoeba was originally designed in 1958 for use throughout the Amsterdam Royal Hotel, designed by the same architect. The Amoeba is an example of a classic furniture design inspired by the movement to adapt organic forms into our interior spaces. An iconic piece with its minimal, simple and distinctly “Danish" design. Its creation is taken from respect of the dimensions, the angles, the pitch and curve wrap of the original design.Limited Edition SteampunkMid Century Modern meets late 19th century garb. Add in the feel of early 20th century industrial revolution with clunky steam engines chugging away in the background. Flying airships, metallic surfaces with bold chunky rivets and exposed gears. These conjure up the feeling of the industrial steampunk era, philosophy and design. Kardiel offers the premier reproduction inspired by exacting detail to the original Amoeba Chair.

Steampunk? Ain't that one of them fancy words that you put on your web site and it makes weird stuff sell?
That is soooo from the " Glue Some Gears On It and Call it Steampunk" song...
Both those covers break one of my cardinal rules, viz: never put your goggles over your eyes. People might think they're functional, egad!
I have no idea what she 'ripped'....

I could see how that would not meet safety standards. It is. I was expecting them not being allowed (to wear. Not to actually use. I would like to keep my eyes, so i will use my safety glasses). But my classmate was allowed to keep his cap on so i still think it's kinda unfair.

Imagine the bowler hat catching fire from a Bunsen burner or falling on top of some beakers during the middle of a titration or somesuch. In any case, IMHO hats are meant to be worn outside, not indoors, actually, to follow Victorian Era convention. Only contemporary people wear caps and hats indoor (e.g. cowboy hats in a church wedding in Texas and baseball caps in malls - basically bad form from present day ignorant people not knowing the proper usage of the article...

The shipping charges would be terrible!Putting a full size hippo in your pocket doesn't sound like a good idea eitherMaybe it's a Micro-hippo? A micro hippo bred by a mad aristocrat with too much time on their hands and an excess of hippos actually sounds like it could make its way into a steampunk story or two
