Hello, decorative young men dressed in neo-Victorian and Romantic -influenced clothing! I approve. More guys need to dress like THIS.

nocturnecity:

Neo-victorian / steampunk. Sometimes classy, mostly just brassy. When it’s done well, it’s wonderful… note that none of these dapper gentlemen has a fucking Nerf Maverick anywhere in sight.

Fetish underwear ca. 1900 via The Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Victorians, too, could be kinky.  This leather corset ensemble is the 1900 equivalent of this.

From the Penny Illustrated Paper and Illustrated Times. 31st December 1892.

A great insight into fashion, medical treatment (or miss-treatment) and plain silliness Victorian style.

This advert was placed by the Medical Battery Company. The corset advertised was not so much electric, but in fact magnetic. Magnetised steel plates inside the front of the corset allowed for fastening.
