Saw this image yesterday on this blog post about what women should and shouldn't wear in a steampunk context:
Attractive, sexy, and interesting, yes, but is anyone else bothered by the fact that she's using an electric drill from the 1950's? This is hardly in keeping with the Victoriana-inspired steampunk ethos, is it?
===== Feel free to comment on this or any other post.

Seems like a photo of someone in costume getting ready to go to a Steampunk con. That would explain the drill.
ReplyDeleteNo, this is a carefully photographed poster from Steamgirl.com, a site specializing in eroticized steampunkery. The metal housing of the old drill is retro from a 2013 standpoint, but it's anachronistic with respect to Victoriana.

ReplyDeleteYeah, but the cropped bomber jacket, the heavy metal hair, the tight pants... this isn't really steampunk per se. Although it is a great photo.
