Am a person who likes wear simple shoes, but I can…

I have seen some people do this makeup style and i completely adore it!!! this look is done soo beautifully, while be strong and...well...dirty. It just goes to show you that you don't have to be pretty to pull of a beautiful steampunk look. Another thing about this look is that it is so easy to achieve. a black eye shadow is all you need for this…

     As I was strolling through the fashion pastures of the AEthernets I started to wonder, "Where are…

     Now I know the modern male decries the tie nearly as much as the modern female decries the hated "shape wear".  I do understand this particular element of men's wear is cumbersome and often uncomfortable, but they come with a venerable pedigree and so many permutations that any steampunk style man can find one to fit his particular fancy.  Stay with me gents, because there will be many pictures and lots of video links to how to tie any particular that you would like to sport.

      Okay gents, after much research and shopping I have discovered one sad fact. Men's shoes and boots haven't changed all that much in the last 200 years.

As I'm sure lots of people can agree, it's difficult pinpointing exactly what is Steampunk. The lesser known variants like Dieselpunk and Steelpunk are more acquired tastes, but I find myself liking them all.

But no matter what it might be, I never consider Steampunk to…

Dorothy Winterman's "African Amazon" outfit



It is day 15 of our arduous journey through the veldts of Nigeria (or are we in Cameroon yet?). Our tracker Adeola has discovered new tracks and scraps of fibers from obviously foreign cloths. She can find a single iguana track amongst a bevy of crocodiles, this one can. We listen intently that these “men” are probably several hours, if not a day away. We find…
