Plus, they both have corsets. I have a thing for those.
Much like the 'Gothling' category (for lack of a better word), I've had an interest in designing stuff for the Steampunk/goth crowd, but never got around to it. I had my first chance with the now-concluded Burlesque vs. Steampunk Hunt. Originally I was going to go all-out for it, and had even planned to make entire outfits. Then something even more exciting came around at roughly the same time: Bronxelf announced the A Clockwork Spiral event. With the rousing success of the last World Goth Fair, I jumped at the chance in participating in another Cursed charity event with a line-up of amazing talent. You can check out all the hows and what-fors of the event in the link above. Suffice it to say, I knew right away I'd want to focus my attention on bringing the best new merchandise I could to the event. While I was happy with my hunt item, this is where my attention would go.
Sadly, time and real life conspired against me and I couldn't bring half of what I'd planned to the event. But I do have a handful of items available in my little storefront there, and once again I'm happy with the results and pleased to be part of yet another fundraiser event.
So without further ado, here's a quick look at what I'm offering:
@->~ISD Clockwork Spiral Corsets
Rigged mesh corset in five sizes. There are three 'tightness' variations available (what I've personally dubbed Loose, Fitted and 'Ribs? Who Needs Ribs?'), each available separately for L$200. These corset will be available after the event, but I encourage you to buy them this weekend if you can, since half of the proceeds go to charity.
@->~ISD Clockwork Spiral Cane
Unrigged mesh cane with a built-in hand grip AO. The cane is copy/mod sit it can both be resized and if desired, the AO removed. This item is an ACS event exclusive, selling for L$100 with all proceeds going to charity.
@->~ISD Clockwork Spiral Necklace
Mesh gears and spring coils in red copper suspended from a sculpted 'vine' cord of engraved iron. Female fit, but copy/mod for custom fitting. Also an ACS event exclusive, L$100 and 100% to charity.
@->~ISD Clockwork Spiral Eyes
Unrigged mesh eyes, rusted scrollwork sclera and engraved brass pupils. The package includes three different pupil sizes and an alpha layer that hides both system eyes and eyelashes. Work for all genders and most species (they'll even fit petites with a little bit of prim wrangling), and copy/mod to help that along. ASC event exclusive, 100% charity item also for L$100.
And finally, my little storefront has a gacha machine. The prize:
@->~ISD Clockwork Spiral Goggles
100% unrigged mesh unisex goggles, red copper eyepieces and gears with black leather straps. Eight colors of lenses are loaded into the gacha, with adjustable transparency (manual edit, not scripted). There's also one rare prize loaded, a scripted color-change pair with all eight colors.
The gacha is L$30 a pull, with half the proceeds going directly to charity.

Like other past charity events, my only wish is that I had more to offer, but like those events I'm more than happy to help out the cause in any way I can. If you want to help out more towards the charity (the National Kidney Foundation) beyond the generous merchants at the event, there are donation jars around the entire grounds and several DJs playing over the weekend in fundraising shows (including a big show with a Best in Steampunk contest—check the site for details), and you can donate directly to the NKF.
The event is through this weekend only, Sept. 18th-22nd. But a little Broxelf birdie tells me that if the event does well, it'll be extended to an entire week next time around. So let's do what we can to make it a success and help out a great cause.
You can get a direct LM to my storefront by clicking on the ACS sign on the New Releases wall of the @->~ISD store.
Stay Beautiful (and Steamy),
