A New Way To Play

Here is a set I made on polyvore.  (A site where you can play with fashion and make your own outfits from items you can actually purchase online, if you can afford them.  Each set you make lists the items you used for others to see, and purchase if they want to.  Er, you can purchase *most* of the items in the sets, some of them you cannot.)  I am particularily proud of it.  I made it for the steampunk group.  I’d actually wear some of those outfits, if they would fit me properly and look good, and…I could afford them.  *sigh*  (Some of them would look really nice on me!)  Here is a wikipedia article about steampunk, and below the set you will find the group administrator’s parameters for the steampunk group.  (Did you know that calling cards are coming back into fashion, because of those who prefer to express themselves via Steampunk?  It is true.  Wish a recycling company of either cloth or paper would pounce on this…)

Can take you places...
