I agree that garb snarking is bad manners, but with most of my historic costume I snark *myself* into inertia - I get so hung up on making every stitch just so that it takes me forever to finish anything. Having just started dabbling in steampunk, it's kind of like historic costume without the angst: all the challenge and creativity, none of the proving every seam and ruffle, because it's a sci-fi-ized version of the 19th century. > > Regina (SCA, Steam Punk, Ooooh Shiny!)
