A year and a half ago this all began as

a simple idea meant to self inspire and titillate the public. Now, having completed our second calendar, we have been inspired again to expand that simple idea of a calendar into something bold and new.

This magazine will strive to define what it means to have a bounty of eSTEAMed excellence; Gorgeous models in (and out of) elaborate neo-Victorian fashion, articles on the culture, and behind the scene stories about the people who help make our amazing community what it is; Even some by our very own both beautiful and intelligent models!

This, as all of our endeavors, is a labor of love which involves an intense amount of effort but we do it in hopes that every page brings to life the culture, people, and beauty of what Steampunk means to all of us. This culture brings so much to the lives it touches and we want to do that justice while still interpreting each piece in our own way.

Cheers, Dr. Belegana

It is my sincerest pleasure to have been

part of Ladies of Steampunk from the beginning, and to see it evolve into to something I could never have fathomed; especially when starting with next to nothing.

Within these pages (and future issues) you will find an amalgam of Steampunk, boudoir, pin-up, goth, and even a touch of kink. Each photo shoot brings with it a new sense of exhilaration, as well its share of challenges from deciding the right costme and props to hair, make up, and lighting. Each model brings with her a unique personality that breathes life into every shot; I can’t thank them enough for their talent and enthusiasm! A special thanks, also, to our contributors, without whom this magazine would not be possible. And, of course, you, our lovely fans!

So, without further ado, I proudly present the first of what we hope will be a long running publication. With your continued support, it shall be!

Fondest wishes, Dr. Carswell
