Steampunk

My husband thinks that steampunk is really cool. I have to admit that I find it somewhat intriguing myself. To me it seems like a high-tech version of the victorian era. There have been a few movies that have showcased things that are steampunk. The ones that I can think of right now are "Stardust," which is a truly amazing movie, and the cartoon "Treasure Planet."


I didn't really know steampunk even existed until my hubby started getting interested in it. I have been amazed by all the things steampunk out there. The main favorite...at least the one that seems to have the most pictures, is the computer. I have been impressed by the detail and creativity that people will put into making their computer look...well, steampunk. Here are just a few examples...








I liked the steampunk vespa...






and the guitar...



the house is...interesting...




and of course the steampunk goggles, which my husband wants to get a pair of...(this didn't surprise me since he had a pair of welding goggles hanging from the rearview mirror of his car when we were in high school...remember better off dead?)
