'Alternative' shop

Someone told me that a new 'alternative' shop had started up in Stafford - does anyone know anything about this? I'm assuming they meant alternative as in goth/hippy/steampunk kind of style. I'd love to know what it sells & where it is if it's true!

Hi Ramona.

It's called: Paramnesia and it's in what used to be the Dallans shop by the Gaol Square roundabout. Their web site is: http://www.paramnesiaclothing.co.uk

The site only gives very basic details at the moment and they are independent traders so
deserve a lot of support I think.

There's not been a decent alt shop for some time. I remember that Nirvana shop :)

Is that a Moomin?
I've been in. Nothing grabbed me by the lapels and demanded I buy it but they did have a couple of pretty hellbunny dresses. I expect I'll pop back in too see if theres anything new.

Steampunk is a first on me. Off to google it now! :)
It's an old term penned by a Sci-fi writer that has only recently caught on.

As a style it's remarkably similar to that of Terry Gilliam (especially in Brazil and 12 Monkeys)

I like this steampunk keyboard (scroll to the bottom to see the finished article):
