Girl #1: She yelled at me for being a stalker!
Girl #2: Why? What did you do?
Girl #1: I was following him with my eyes.
Girl #2: Oh! That's not so bad. It's not like you were actually following him, like... With your feet.
Girl #3: Or your vagina.

retrofuturepunk . Hopefully this can help reduce the quandry of 'that's not steampunk' and the disdain for the post-apocalyptic.I'll still be haunting here, though... I love both genres, and the stuff you guys come up with is solid gold.
i was interviewed and helped the reporter by sending her some links and a brief background

Does anyone know where I can find a similar pair? I'm looking on ebay, and I've been scouring some links I have saved but I'm not coming up with anything similar. I know it probably has to do with the fact that summer is coming up. I want to wear them to an event next week.
Edit: Just so that I'm not being a complete parasite; here's a link I got from a friend: How to build your own Yurt. I hope some of you will find it interesting.
Thanks a lot!

anacrotech because it also has great concept art for the machinery as well as the fashion and scenery.Bethesda released the concept art for Fallout 3! It's fashionable!
Most of this is a little more diesel-punk than steam, but as you can see, not all of it. It's got a '50s WWII feel to it of course, but I'm sure there's some inspiration in there for even the most Neovictorian of you steamheads.
( Post-apocalyptic society at it's finest! )
The cons of my job: picking up dog poop, biting birds, rainy weather, skittish dogs, and above all... my boss.
I like my boss' husband. I like my coworker. But my boss is just really hard to like. I try really hard to just deal with her but she's just... so obnoxious without trying.
It's Friday. She needs to send out the weekend schedules not on Friday but at least by Monday. Cuz really... waiting all week to plan out my weekends is getting kind of old. I called her this morning at 9:30, and she acts super surprised first of all that I'm calling her "that early"
"Oh Sandy! I didn't know you got up this early! You were on my list of people to call today I was just waiting til later cuz I didn't want to wake you up, cuz you know the last girl who worked for us if I called her at one I was STILL waking her up and I always thought 'wow what a waste of a day!'"
Okay great to know. She told me of my weekend schedule (I have the later shift tomorrow... damn) and the later shift on Sunday (double damn). She then got a call and had to call me back. I had to wait about a half hour then she calls back, then we continue our conversation about work schedules and stuff and then out of nowhere she starts talking about how no one in Somerset County can drive and blahblahblah and was asking me how I learned to drive and all that. I don't know. She's ridiculous. Then. Direct quote after I asked for a schedule in advance:
"Oh Sandy I am sorry I really dropped the ball this week! I mean seriously, everything I was supposed to do this week I really didn't get a chance to do cuz of work!"
Really?
Then she asked me what ( went down )
I told her what happened and she told me that if anything like that happened again to call her so if they pet owner calls her she won't look like an idiot and not know what happened. Cuz apparently Baby's owner called my boss asking what happened. And I feel bad cuz I thought about calling her and idk why I didn't I just.... didn't. Then she went into telling me about my coworker calling her after every one of her shifts and giving her "updates" on every stop.
And next weekend I was invited by Val and Jimmy to do a Lolita photoshoot followed by a trip to the Peekaboo Revue in Philly and the Dracula's Ball... but I have to work til 7.... so that's not happening now. T^T
And this entry is longer than it should have been.

But today, I found a Telescope Walking Stick that is much more reasonable.
Usually I listen to her At Liberty CD or DVD-rip I have, before a show where I play Viktor, but this is certainly going a step further.

Tonight is Rockstars and Strippers... I'm pretty excited. I have to dig up my closer skirt and run to Goodwill today. it's a rainy blegh day so it's the day for thrifting. Haha. I have a horrible habit of going thrifting for a certain thing... but then ending up with a bunch of random weird chotchkis and clothes and my mom gets weirded out.

20 something man, jumping up as seat collapses under him: You see?! That happens to me every time I stand up from sitting on them, too. I sit down KNOWING it's going to happen, but it always gets me.
20 something girlfriend: I know, I do the same thing.
20 something man: I mean, how hard would it be to affix some rubber or something so that it dampens the impact?
20 something girl: ...and doesn't scare everyone on the train.
20 something man: Yeah.
[Someone stands up from sitting on one at other end of train causing everyone to jump and look over.]
20 something girl: See, I'm sayin!
20 something man: Actually, I think I kinda like it. It's sort of organic, keeps you on your toes. You never know what the MTA will throw at you...

It's my first post on this community, so for those people who don't know me I'm Dave Charsley, a digital artist from Birmingham, England.
Last month I had the pleasure of getting five wonderful models together for my first full adventure in the realm of Steampunk. I took the novel by S.M.Peters as staring point, found a great location in north London and created twenty odd images, the first of which I share today.
The models featured here are demondaz, giselle_bour and iwilldietonight. Props by Paul Smith.
