I may be a little late to the party, but if you want an idea of what those wacky neo-Victorian adventurers are wearing [Steampunk Fashion — LiveJournal](http://community.livejournal.com/steamfashion/) is a great community.

For thoughts on what they are reading, watching, and so on, the very British site [Brass Goggles:The lighter side of Steampunk](http://brassgoggles.co.uk/blog/) is good reading.
