Btw, given that *nobody* is supposed to surf the internet at work for personal reasons, I suppose that 'NSFW' actually stands for 'Not safe for wife'?

Great figure, I like it a lot but it just says earlier in history to me.

[abdul666lw]

Yes -maybe because of the blue in her dress? The flat-topped hat? The blue & white stripes?- she has something of Nelson's or Surcouf's sailors, in more... charming
A hat swap giving her a tricorne (and removing the goggles in the process) would turn her into a lovely Lacepulp / Lacepunk adventuress (NOT 'heroine': heroines scream and have to be rescued); skilled converters may add greenstuff garters for more 'period' look?

[FramFramson]

Doesn't she already have a surplus of garters?

[Malamute]

Delightful figure, she oozes character, shame I have absolutely no use for her whatsoever

It seems obligatory these days for every Steampunk character figure to wear their googles over their hat

Actually, I work in a Games Store (http://www.goodgames.com.au/stores/Good-Games-Blackburn), so browsing LAF is good for work.

It's actually a very sensible place to put them, ignoring the fact that her hat is rather oversized. Goggles are uncomfortable to wear for protracted periods of time, so if they aren't necessary, you don't wear them. If you want to keep them to hand, they either go on top of your head or around your neck. The neck is also uncomfortable, so your head is the main choice and a hat is better than your head.

adventuress (NOT 'heroine': heroines scream and have to be rescued)

Except that when the term "adventuress" was actually in common use it meant someone who advanced themselves socially by providing sex - like Lola Montes or Lily Langtree (probably the original of Conan Doyle's "adventuress" Irene Adler - that's why she's from [New] Jersey).

The tendency in modern English is to drop the gender-based endings, so that a woman can be an "adventurer" or "hero" in exactly the same sense as a man.

Presumably not in tribute to Linda Perry of 1990s band Four Non-Blondes.

An American woman once challenged my use of poetess, saying that a single form would do for both genders. I disagreed; she asked me what the female equivalent of doctor was; I replied "nurse, of course". It took her a while to realise I was winding her up.

You make me almost ashamed to be a male! 

Okay, this bit of threadomancy has left me unable to track down an image proper. Can someone give me a link to such an image? And, no, the Facebook entry is not, as such.

Thanks in advance!
