As MG Correspondent Aaron Karlsruher explained last week, Steampunk is…

a whimsical art genre that blends alternative history, Victorian culture and science fiction, “steampunk” envisions the world as the 19th century English may have imagined future technology running on the steam power that fueled the industrial revolution of their time.

Evidently, it also includes 19th century burlesque, as envisioned by 21st century Americans!
