Carpetbeater ... no, never tried one of those ... I imagine it would be loud.
Anyway, this instructional scene of domestic hygiene [REDACTED] is to celebrate the announcement of the lineup of forthcoming anthology Carnal Machines: steampunk erotica, edited by D.L.King and out from Cleis in May next year. My story, The Servant Question, is not in fact BDSM themed - but is about the trials of finding and managing one's household servants. It is a bit of a romp. And there is a carpetbeater in it...
:-)

Congrats on what looks to be a great collection!

congrats to you to be in that pretty pretty book
Wow, steam punk dalek? I'll take 3!
I just love the steampunk look. It's a sort of collision of opposites: kinky and geeky, repressed and outrageous, proper and adventurous. And - unlike medivalesque LARP costume - it comes with a huge inbuilt dollop of self-mocking humour.
The Dalek is just adorable, isn't it Beth? :-)
Well(s) done, H. G. Ashbless!
Ooh - very good, Mr Edwards!
'm with Jo. Research purposes, on account of I'm just starting to wrap my mind around what steam punk is. I love the words, steam punk, but the definition escaped me for awhile.
Gorgeous cover. WOnderful line-up. Congrats, Janine.
ps - no, a carpet beater is not all that loud at all.
