Justina Robson is really very good indeed.

Yes, very much so. Was it a particular book that prompted this remark? :)

I are steaming through the Quantum Gravity sequence right now. After that I'll start on her earlier work.

Quantum Gravity is played relatively light and for laughs. Her other stuff is both better and weirder. She seems to be something of an acquired taste for some people, but I think if you like those, you'll love her other stuff. I have it all if you want to borrow any.

steampunk PLCE corset
So what's that then? Load-carrying corset? (isn't that most of them?) Or alice clips instead of lacing, and how the hell would you get them tightened?

Just wait until you see my Battlemech geography teacher outfit...

I think you'd need the clips for getting the thing on and off, plus a built-in compound-pulley arrangement for tightening.

Errrm - unless you can PLCE as flat fabric you'd have to use it only for decoration BUT that would be fantastic. You could lace it up the back through those black eyelets that are always in it and replace (or cover) the busk at the front with big black clips.

Sounds like a project.

I wanted to *be* people like that. I think Pip & Liz were far more of an infuence than Tank Girl ever was.

quercus March 1 2010, 10:14:34 UTC

...although in this case, I think Jet Girl might have some explaining to do.

sarah_mum March 2 2010, 09:04:16 UTC

It's a fair cop guv.

Ceremony are really rather good. It's an utter bugger searching for any of their stuff though. In the old days, it was important that your band's logo/name could be inscribed on the school issue haversack (gas mask/respirator). These days it's best if it's a Googlewhack.

Download are the worst for that. Utterly hopeless unless you add 'Cevin Key' or something as well. Adding 'music' doesn't help because now you just get the Download Festival.
