Self-indulgence

Ordering a couple of these for myself tonight, after I take an accurate measurement. $150.00 for a "steampunk leather harness" or $40.00 for a pretty brocade Turkish vest...when they're made from the exact same pattern. Right.

I did share with you my theory that steampunk is just a marketing ploy, right?

I initially took that way the wrong way, and was confused.

Yeah, a lot of people slap a trendy name on a piece of junk and jack the price, and morons will buy it. Still, I'm not opposed to paying for quality or uniqueness, and I believe artists should be compensated. I'll be compensating Anaya tribal a fair price for a brocade Turkish vest, I think.

I put a vest from Delicious on layaway at SPWF. It's crazy expensive, but it's beautiful, it fits well, I love it, and I've never seen anything like it.
