    Anything they perceive as unusual will get a stare. My husband (long grey hair, grey/black speckled beard, hat not unlike the Sorting Hat) gets stares. My wife (hair in unusual colours, bright and unusual clothing) gets stares. I (frequently with a walking aid, dressed in casual steampunk) get stares.

    I want to dress my husband in robes, but he won't let me.
    Seshat's self-help guide:
    1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
    2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
    3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
    4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

      My theory is that at that young age they are kind of like animals... they can sense when someone is uncomfortable/unexperienced with children and they GRAVITATE to them.

      ...I hate kids, I really do... there is not even a drop of maternal instinct running in my veins.... but the little monsters LOVE me.....It is awful...
      Yeah, this is kind of me, too. I wouldn't say hate but I am not interested in babies or little kids at all. Yet if I walk through the mall, some little kid wandering along will zig and zag right into my path, no matter how far away I am when I see the kid coming or how much I try to avoid crossing paths. It's like I'm a magnet.
      When you start at zero, everything's progress.

        I didn't know casual steampunk existed.

          I basically dress in clothing that would pass for normal - wouldn't give me a second glance - but which, accessorised properly, would be definitely steampunk.

          Then I add just a couple of steamy accessories. Enough that I feel comfortable, not so much that it's all-out steampunk.


          One example: brown trousers, brown ankle boots with zip decor, a shirt the colour of old paper, a waistcoaty/vesty hybrid thing, a camel-coloured thigh length trenchcoat. On its own, it's unusual but not quite enough to draw much attention. Then add a cameo, or a neck ruff, or any other steamy accessory; and you have casual steampunk.

                Children always stare at me. But I'm just udderly pleasant. I'm very smiley with rosey cheeks. Plus, I tend to have some sort of glinty metal on my face.

                19-20 Eyebrow Ring
                20 to now Industrial (This is not my ear)

                I don't really mind though. I love kids. Their staring at me means I'll be able to keep their attention when I start teaching elementary school in a few years. I'm so excited for that.

                I've actually noticed that if I tell a child to listen by showing them my industrial ear and turning the barbell, they will NEVER let their attention sway. I very much want to try this once I start teaching. ^-^
