Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fictionfantasyalternate history, andspeculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashionculturearchitectural styleart, etc. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells andJules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip PullmanScott Westerfeldand China Mieville.
Other examples of steampunk contain alternative history-style presentations of such technology as lighter-than-air airshipsanalog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace'sAnalytical engine.

Pantone Color of the Year 2012 Tangerine Tango

Every year, Pantone releases it's "Color of the Year", this year's choice is Tangerine Tango. It's a fiery, energetic color that I've noticed popping up everywhere in fashion as well as makeup trends, and adds an unexpected punch in interiors when paired with blues, beiges, or white.
