It’s that time of year again. Time to don ye ole medieval clothing and get thee to the New York Renaissance Faire! This, of course, means getting laced up into my bodice and being Wench-for-a-Day. I know you must think I’m nuts, but I really could dress like this all the time. (I’ve spared you the full view.)
Here are some scenes from the Faire.
I fell in love with this fairie costume:
Rick wanted his photo taken “getting into m’lady’s panties.”
This sign spoke to me. I wonder why ...
What’s a Renaissance Faire without a joust?
Even a wise wizard needs a nap once in a while.
It was very hot and very humid at the Faire. If we had been dressed in shorts and t-shirts it would have been bearable, but in full costume we were close to heat prostration—whew! We couldn’t wait to get home and jump in the pool even if the water was as cold as it usually is in early June. It felt wonderful and certainly cooled us off.
So, I’ve hung up my bodice until the next time. Sigh. Back to reality.
