Neither of us embraces more than elements of Steampunk . You get to choose how far you want to take it . In my case there are strong literary interests , mainly C19th . Most contemporary SP Lit leaves me cold .
At any given moment current women's fashion includes strong and adaptable Victorian/Edwardian elements . Attractive garments can be sourced on line . There is no need to espouse an arcane philosophy to look good .
You might also be interested in Miss Alice Wolfenden's ' Antipodean Assembly ' , which aims to bring together all Australian and New Zealand steamers .
Miss Alice has been off air for some time but the site still chugs along .

There would be no one within several hundred miles who had heard of the term Steampuk but we manage to struggle along . The locals have become used to our ways .
My Professor would regard himself as belonging to the neo-victorian strand of Steampunk .

I am Professor William Milliken of the Dustin Kahlil Band. I was wondering if I could ask a small favor of you? We are currently embroiled in a fierce competition via the Hard Rock Cafe. We desperately need votes to try and win this thing and a plug or endorsement from you to your fans would go a long way. I understand if you would rather not, but if you could see your way to helping us, we would be eternally grateful and in your debt!

Here is the voting link: http://www.facebook.com/hardrockcafebiloxi/app_205164529573076
Just like the page click vote now and scroll down till you see the Dustin Kahlil Band and click vote.

This is our chance to send a steampunk band from an underdog market to London to play Hyde park. I assure you this is not spam, and I am doing this individual by individual, this is how passionately I feel about representing steampunk and underdogs everywhere to a global audience. Thank you for your time and consideration!
