Goggles are as iconic to the steampunk genre as the bat is to baseball, and just as important. The right pair of goggles can make an outfit while the wrong pair can detract. Below are a few of the different styles available but don't forget that in steampunk the sky is the limit so let your imagination fly!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">What does a Steampunk Pixy need? Pixy Dust of course! This lovely pink bottle was created especially for me by Melanie Grace at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125491062/once-upon-a-fantasy-steampunk-light-up?" target="_blank">Live Steamy</a>. In addition to my new lovely you can get Aether, Rust, and Steam. At just $17 each these are an affordable accessory that goes with a variety of looks. Remember if you don't see what you want you can always ask for a custom order. </span></div>

As an avid sewer I have a several stores I shop at both brick and morter and online to find the fabric.<br />
<br />
The thing to remember is that fabric runs on a season just like clothing and what you see now may not be available next month or next year. My rule is if I love it I buy some of it even if it is only quarter yard. (That is why my house is over flowing with fabric) If I am out shopping I take a picture of the info at the top of the bolt so that I know the designer and pattern name if I want to buy more later.<br />
<br />
Much of my fabric is quilting quality fabric as it is a better quality and comes in a huge variety. This also means that they are cotton and run $9-$11 a yard.<br />
<br />
Within the quilting/cotton fabric collections one of my favorite designer is <a href="http://www.ttfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Timeless Treasures</a>. Over the past 18 months they have had several patterns that have a steampunk aesthetic. Check thier website for stores near you that sell the fabric, if you are going to buy a larger quantity your local quilt store might give you a discount that online stores don't have.<br />
<br />
My favorite designs by Timeless Treasure include:<br />

Whether you are attending afternoon tea or strolling around the promenade gloves are a necessity for any Victorian lady. Which gloves to wear is dictated by the function you are attending and your budget.<br />
<br />
General Glove Ettiquette:<br />
Taken from Godey's Lady's Book<br />
<br />
White gloves should be worn only for ceremonies and the greatest of occasions. Outside of these occasions white gloves should never be worn. Additionally only white kid gloves are acceptable, white gloves of any other material are considered vulgar.<br />
<br />
Black gloves are acceptable when in mourning. Should a darker color be desired dark grey, blue or brown are acceptable.<br />
<br />
Gloves should always be one shade lighter than the dress. Wearing dark gloves with a light colored dress is considered most offensive. Godey's recommends the Swedish kid gloves in tan for all everyday wear.<br />
<br />
Day Gloves<br />
Short gloves of one to four buttons in length are acceptable depending on the length of your sleeve with the 3 button being the most popular. Examples include:<br />

I was so impressed with the idea I have begun to look into purchasing a period gown of my own. But alas they are all so tiny! Victorian era woman were on the smaller side but they came in a variety of shapes and sizes so I will continue to search for one I can wear. Here are a few of the dresses I have been drooling over.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I attended the H.B. Plant Museum's Victorian Picnic in the Park in Tampa, FL. It was a wonderful event and there was a good steampunk showing for the event. If a Victorian themed picnic sounds good to you grab a blanket and check out these era accurate recipes and menus. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mrs. Beeton's menu for 40 people. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I don't recommend trying this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bill of Fare for a Picnic for 40 People:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A joint of cold roast beef, a joint of cold boiled beef, 2 ribs of lamb, 2 shoulders of lamb, 4 roast fowls, 2 roast ducks, 1 ham, 1 tongue, 2 veal and ham pies, 2 pigeon pies, 6 medium lobsters, 1 piece of collard calf's head, 18 lettuces, 6 baskets of salad, 6 cucumbers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stewed fruit well sweetened, and put into glass bottles well corked; 3 or 4 dozen plain pastry biscuits to eat with the stewed fruit, 2 dozen fruit turnovers, 4 dozen cheesecakes, 2 cold cabinet puddings in moulds, 2 blancmanges in moulds, a few jam puffs, 1 large cold plum pudding (this must be good), a few baskets of fresh fruit, 3 dozen plain biscuits, a piece of cheese, 6lbs. of butter (This, of course, includes the butter for tea), 4 quarten loaves of household bread, 3 dozen rolls, 6 loaves of tin bread (for tea), 2 plain plum cakes, 2 pound cakes, 2 sponge cakes, a tin of mixed biscuits, 1/2 lb. of tea. Coffee is not suitable for a picnic, being difficult to make.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Things not to be forgotten at a picnic:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A stick of horseradish, a bottle of mint-sauce well corked, a bottle of salad dressing, a bottle of vinegar, make mustard, pepper, salt, good oil, and pounded sugar. If it can be managed, take a little ice. It is scarcely necessary to say that plates, tumblers, wine glasses, knives, forks, and spoons must not be forgotten; as also teacups and saucers, 3 or 4 teapots, some lump sugar, and milk, if this last named article cannot be obtained in the neighbourhood. Take three corkscrews.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beverages - 3 dozen quart bottles of ale, packed in hampers; ginger beer, soda water, and lemonade, of each 2 dozen bottles; 6 bottles of sherry, of bottles of claret, champagne a discretion, and any other light wine that may be preferred, and 2 bottles of brandy. Water can usually be obtained; so it is useless to take it.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brockely is a pretty dish, by way of Sallad in the middle of the table. Boil it like asparagus, lay it in a dish, and beat up oil and vinegar, and a little salt. Garnish round with Stertion-buds. Or boil it, and have plain butter in a cup- Or farce <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">French</span> roles with it, and buttered eggs together for change- Or farce your roles with muscles done the same way as oysters, only no wine. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let the herbs be fresh gathered, nicely trimmed and picked, and repeatedly wash in salt and water. Drain and cut them. Just before dinner is served, rub the yolks of two hard-boiled eggs very smooth on a soup-plate, with a little very rich cream. When well mixed, add a tea-spoonful of made mustard and a little salt, a spoonful of olive oil, one oiled butter, or two of sour cream may be substituted, and when this is mixed smooth, put in as much vinegar as will give the proper degree of acidity to the sauce,- about two large spoonfuls; add a little pound lump-sugar if the flavour is liked. Put this sauce in the dish, and lay the cut herbs lightly over it; or mix them well with it, and garnish with beet-root sliced and marked, rings of the white of the eggs, young radishes, &c. Onions may be served seperatly on a small dish. Some <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">knowing</span></span> persons like grated Parmasan put to their salad and sauce. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Remoulade: </span></span>Pound the hard-boiled yolks of two eggs in a mortar, with a little sour cream, or the raw yolk of an egg, a spoonful of made mustard, pepper, salt, cayenne, one spoonful of vinegar and two oil. Rub this salad-sauce through a sieve, and it is ready to serve. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take a small quantity of very fresh cream cheese, put it in a basin or a marble mortar, add some salt, pepper, and a little mustard, beat it well up until it is of the same consistency as butter; if too hard, add a little of the latter, and use it as butter on bread with slices of meat between. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Alexis Soyer</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mode </span>- cut up the beef into pieces about 1 inch square, put the butter in a stewpan with the onions sliced, and fry them of a light brown colour. Add all the other ingredients, and stir gently over a brisk fire for about ten minutes. Should this be thought too dry, more beer or a spoonful or two of gravy or water, may be added; but a good curry should not be very thin. Place it in a deep dish, with a edging of dry boiled rice, in the same manner as for other curries. <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mrs Beeton</span></span></div>

Plums, currants, almonds, pistachio kernels, candied peel or dried cherries may be added. This should make two good-sized cakes.</span></span><br />

While it is a thought provoking photo of judgement in real life I wondered how it applied to the steampunk community. Do we as a community judge woman by their skirt length. If so what type of judgments do we make?<br />
<br />
My answer is that we are human and do judge, but the judgement is different. Within steampunk women find a place of empowerment where skirt length is a reflection of your character, your occupation, or just your preference. I like to think we are a more open minded group where matronly would be replaced by formal, and provocative would become armed and ready to fight. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that is what I choose to believe about the world we create among ourselves.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear the thoughts of other women in the steampunk community. Do you judge a person based on their skirt length? When at a steampunk event does that judgement change?<br />
