1. When I exert myself to be friendly and welcoming, it has marvelous effect. And this affect is natural to me. It seems to my eye that I am more social than most; when I forget this, I sail by many interesting people.
2. Dress, dress, dress! I desire now some collars, and the vests I have are sufficient.
3. Once again, the most stunning pieces of costume I have are gifts. The green vest of Flowers of the Lily. The Nautical coat. The stock Oriental.
4. I simply must arrange for more dancing!
5. And the making of things. I found the Tea Engine simply delightful!

I'm wondering if you know where one of appropriate size could be acquired.. or if you have a pointer to someone/somewhere that will be able to fulfill this type of commission.
Thanks

3. Buy a used set of Tails. Add accesories. E'en spell them right. Steampunk is all about the accessories.
(Bonus) Lab coats good.
(Double bonus) Western gear good--note that Steampunk includes the American West, so Cowboys work. Just accessorize it.

3) Henceforth, Gifts shall be Cherished (admittedly, this is difficult to distinguish from Heretofore, but get picky)
4) For more commentary upon dancing, we defer to one Zorba the Greek
