![The Royal (Steampunk) Army of Oz [via film_stills]
Over dinner tonight, my roommate was asking my boyfriend & me to explain the concept of “steampunk” to her, and much to my chagrin, it occurred to me that one of my very favorite childhood films…is totally steampunk.
If I slide down the slippery slope to steampunk self-abuse, I will blame it all on my love for Tik-Tok (who is — if Wikipedia can be believed — “widely considered to be the first robot to appear in modern literature […]” ).
Sadly, he probably also contributed to my current moustache fetish.
Addendum: If you’re like me, and you just can’t get enough of lil’ Fairuza and head-swapping princess fun, you should explore this exhaustive unofficial site. The fan art section is especially cool, and I about plotzed when I saw the Return to Oz computer game. Wish I kept my Commodore 64.](http://media.tumblr.com/9EVNxdJMY8nnzzdylchPek73_400.jpg)
