How would you describe Steampunk to someone like me who always seems to find out about things right as they are loosing their oomph. I thank god for that fact when it came to teletubies and Beanie babies but sometimes left wondering about some things that I really could get interested in.

I'm a noob and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm into so many other things that probably relate enough to steampunk that it seems like a step in right direction to follow my intrigue and interests.

BTW: I'm a seamstress and jewelry designer so I'm always trying to keep abreast of the wicked trends.
