Has anybody else heard about this?? Have you,

amethystjade? I just did a random search after seeing something about steampunkiness online, and combining w/something else I love, and whoa! I got a ho-ton of links!! Plus thanks to this, I just discovered a few nifty bands to boot! "Such as," you say? Well, there's The Circus Contraption Band (who remind me very much of Tom Waits at times), Abney Park (who actually do cool, somewhat dark n' gothy
Steampunk-themed music w/a LOT of ME music influences infuzed into it!), Pentaphobe, Claire Fader, the Beat Circus, and Vermillion Lies. (The latter few of whom do mostly old fashioned-style stuff w/a modern twist, and make me think of the Dresden Dolls, the Ditty Bops, and Ghost Bees to a point.)
There are tutorials online about how to make SP bellydancing gear, Etsy stores w/such stuff, and YouTube vids that feature SP-themed bellydancing routines.
Who knew?? I feel SO behind the times!! (But I am LOVING catching up! :D:D)
