Very Steamy

I am a total analog girl. So, it’s no surprise that I’m into Steampunk. It is all about the path not taken. A crafty look at history. Very industrial and awesome.

Check this. An antique, vintage-gold pocket watch, from EDM DESIGNS. Best in the Steampunk business. Loads of gears, spinning propellers, ornate etchings. Even a thick beaded ball and chain. So steamy

xoxo, Bette

    I HAVE BOUGHT FROM EDM DESIGNS and I must say, not only is she an awful, unprofessional businessperson but her products are complete trash. I purchased a few sets of cuff-less cuff-links a little while back for a Sunday party my company threw, and aside from their delivery time being impossibly tardy, the merchandise is complete junk. 2 of the pairs snapped off right out of the box, and 1 of the pairs looks like it came out of a .99 cent store. I am not normally one to knock someone publicly, but this poor quality just forced me to say something.

    I don’t care where you buy your stuff from, and yeah, watch-cufflinks.com’s stuff looks pretty neat, but do yourself the favor of AVOIDING EDM DESIGNS. She has GARBAGE QUALITY, poor service, and I mean let’s get real - she obviously doesn’t care about steampunk, she just wants to make a fast buck.

    Email me for pictures of the merchandise I bought from Ricky Wolbrom, it’s awful.

    If you like steampunk, you’ll LOVE http://www.Rivkasmom.com. Her attention to detail is amazing, and her prices are much better. She’s so nice to deal with, and does custom work too.

  • Punked Up responded:

    What give with this site? How do you have a response dated 4 months ago, which is way before this article was published?

    My guess is that the post was put up by the following poster which has no comments about what BUST is saying here but using a forum to HELP others see what’s available just to plug her own site. Is free self-advertising somhting permitted here? If it is, I have some stuff to sell also. Now how do I get pictures in this blog?

    Is it any wonder that this “rivkasmom” site didn’t get a notice from BUST? Petty trashing of others.

    I couldn’t decide where to buy from but thanks rivkasmom, you helped me decide. I think 15-20 pieces from EDM Designs would be great for our grab bag at the holiday party.

    Oh, and excellent stuff EDM, I shall be passing out your name to EVERYONE I know that’s into this.

    BUST, maybe you should who and what you allow to post on your blogs.

  • Hairy Harry responded:

    whoa, chill person who just comment.

    i like that BUST let’s people speak their minds. i mean, what are they going to do, delete someone’s comment because in their opinion that person’s opinion is wrong?

    i just wanted to comment because i totally agree with Bette about EDM. i love it! i have the pocket watch earrings. got them for my 20th beeeeeeday. she is so right ON about steampunk. it is awesome, and it is all about history in the awesome inside is outside (like inside out) sort of way. to quote her, it totally is “the path not taken.”

  • Courtney responded:

    I feel so stupid that I didn’t even know what Steampunk was or what analog meant. I looked them up. I now know that i love all that steampunk shit, and i am totally an analog girl too

  • I Heart Rummage responded:

    I can attest to the quality and professionalism of Rivkasmom. She is a regular vendor at I Heart Rummage and has customers coming from far and wide to purchase from her. Her product is highly detailed and impeccable in quality. Rivkasmom is a truly professional business woman. Give her your support: www.rivkasmom.com

  • StanIpkus responded:

    Ive bought from EDM in the past and i couldnt be happier with my cufflinks and my girls necklaces. Glad to see you finally got onto Bust, cant wait to read the article in this months magazine.
    and to rivkasmom…..go get your own publicity. Ive seen you bash EDM on numerous other websites and blogs. Its getting old. Maybe make an effort and you wouldnt have to advertise on somebody elses exclusive. Stop ruining other people because your bitter.

  • Rivkasmom responded:

    WTH? Someone just pointed me to this site. I have no idea what’s going on here. Sure, I’ve got some history with EDM, but I’m not behind all of the posts here. I can’t help it if other people know the truth and want to speak out about it. You can’t silence the whole world.

    Use Google and decide for yourselves. I don’t need any more drama from this psycho and her friends. Keep me out of it Ricky!
