Check out the photo slide show, too.

Steampunk looses it's punk and goes mainstream, I suppose. A big improvement from dumpy jeans, tee-shirts and baseball caps, let alone track suits on confirmed couch potatoes.

Loved the slide show! From rugged 'Wyatt Earp' to gentlemen of the manor. Beats earlobe plugs hands down.

Yes, but I'm sure someone will combine the two for some sort of "Tribal Victorian" look.

lol - tribal Victorian....

I wonder if this is steam punk showing some influence... I recall the 'English Country Gentleman' look in the early 90s with riding boots, vests and 3/4 frock like coats -- loved it then... isn't it a bit soon for a revival?
