I love vintage shoe styles, I love the Saddle Shoe style but till today I could never find them for a good price .But today this site HauteLook.com has them for sale go look! I got a pair in the classic black & white this makes me so stupid happy.
I have been getting great things from this site now for two years, I like to use it to get people gifts as I can just have them ship it to the pals house for me with no extra cost or fuss. Really if you like good things but are poor as a church mouse this is a good site to check out daily for great sales.

In memory of Steve Jobs, without whose incredible work in computing I would not even be able to type and post this. Jobs changed the world and made it a better place, and for that he will be missed.

Friday 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Location: 1A02
Steampunk traces its origins back to the science fiction of the 19th century, and the term itself was coined to describe a genre of Victorian sci-fi being written by modern authors. At the same time, steampunk and Victorian industrial age aesthetics have long held a great fascination for comic and manga artists of various backgrounds. This panel will discuss steampunk as a literary and artistic genre, examining steampunk's literary origins and early examples of steampunk in comic book medium, as well as modern examples from both mediums such as Jay Lake's Mainspring, G. D. Falksen's Blood In The Skies, Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio. The panel will also feature first looks at upcoming titles and give aways from leading publishers such as Wildside Press, Orbit Books, and Yen Press.
