Just some random pictures I've taken (or have had taken of me!) at Renaissance Festivals...

Let me open with this: Day of Wrong is FUN.

Through many hours of working and slaving over a sewing machine (OK, last minute "Oh, dear God, I havn't finished ANYTHING!!!!" panic sewing), we threw together some cute costumes for CRF's "Day of Wrong". For Himself--a perky little shirt made out of kidlet print fabric (featuring, among others, Lyle the Lion and Terry the Tiger!), a rather serious doublet and some FABOO purple silk pants. I love those pants. Those are happy pants. They feel nice.

Sorry, having a moment... *grin*

Your seamstress went as the Muppet Slayer--bright orange fuzzy skirt (made with 100% real Muppet!), pink and orange chemise, and bright magenta bodice. The bodice is wool, wool is period... so the bodice is period. Right? *grin* Top the costume off with little "cages" hanging off of my belt with Muppet finger puppets trapped inside (although the Swedish Chef escaped sometime during the day... evil, tricksy Muppet... we hates him, we do...) and a little sign stating "The Muppet Slayer--No Muppet too big or small". The costume was a big hit--we were chased down as we were leaving the site by a young lady who (incorrectly) identified the Muppets (Rolf, Beaker, and Animal) as "Elmo and Zoe", but she DID bow down before me and declare herself unworthy to be in my presence. So we forgave her. :)

Our wenches and rogues came in a variety of costumes--all wonderfully creative and mostly rather LOUD. Loud colors are fun.

Battle cry for the day: "BORK BORK BORK!" (a la "The Swedish Chef")

And wenchings abounded.... we had an impromptu drive-by wenching of Johnny from "The Lost Boys", and then topped the day off by wenching Nikki's dad, who was visiting her for the weekend (and attending faire in garb for the first time!). He was a wonderful sport about it all--and looked like he enjoyed the process. Can you blame him? :)

...and a surprise wenching of Himself. :) When we first met, he asked me what a wench does. Now he knows. :)

Top the day off with viewings of "Don Juan and Migeul", "Stars of the Orient", "The Lost Boys" and "The Tortuga Twins' R Rated Show", some shopping, and a turkey leg.... all in all, it was an awesome day at faire. :)
