Possible Halloween Costume...

[neotoma]

Just trying out a potential Halloween costume, inspired by last week's excursion to the Ren Fest during "Pirate's Weekend".







The corset and shirt are costume pieces from the Fest, the hat is my usual thing, the skirt is my best velvet piece, and the coat is my new treasure. I just need boots and weaponry to completely the image.

If I don't wear it for Halloween, I'll wear it to The 5th Annual Privateer Feast to Save the Boobies -- a breast-cancer fundraiser in February -- if I can get tickets as well as time off for it.

Mmmmmmm very nice INDEED, m'dear. :D

Thanks, Ange! You might get to see me in a Tudor gown at Witching Hour, depending on whether it arrives in time and if I get the nerve to wear it out.

Damn--see! You look fabulous in a hat! *is jealous*

It's all about get a hat that suits your head and wearing it with confidence. If I meet up with you at the Ren Fest, I am so dragging you to Tall Toad.

I know I took pics of you from other angles, dammit! And where is the booby-centric pic, HMMM?

^_^

Now I just need a costume. You think I should crossdress?

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

you don't think these pics are booby-centric enough?

yes, you should totally cross-dress. And save up, because the tickets do cost money and we should get them ASAP if we want to actually go...

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

...okay, fine. You have a point. *pouts*

Whoo!!

They're... what, about $50? Let me check the dates, yeah?

You wanted this picture, the one that shows just how translucent my skin is where the sun hasn't touched it, didn't you?



The benefit tickets are $45, and I think we should recruit any and all of our friends we can. After all, it's only in College Park. The DC crew shouldn't have much trouble getting to it.

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Yes. And sometime I will have to take a photo of my cleavage so everyone can admire all my veins -- which are STARKLY VISIBLE through my skin. It's kinda creepy. : /

Agreed. I should email everyone I know in DC-area and be like "GO TOOO THEEES!!!". Because I am just a pushy bitch like that.

Especially because as pirates, we can cross-dress with historical accuracy. You could be Anne Bonny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bonny) or Mary Read (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Read) with nary a blink.

You're into this idea. ^_^
We can arrange it! ...though I'll be forced to research the clothing of the period. Ah, well. What a hardship. ^_~

Leave off the hat, and you would look like a especially buxom medieval-lish girl. Wear a wig instead.

Other than that, I like!

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

No, hate wigs. Like hats. Admittedly, it should be a tricorne, but I already bought two hats last weekend. I probably don't need another.

[dphearson.livejournal.com]

Well, wigs can tight and hot. But can you shape an old felt hat that you get at the thrift store into a tricombe?

[temve.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Yes, these two are worth saving. :)

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

thanks! Coming from a costumer like you, it's a nice compliment.

I like! Especially the picture with the jacket. I'm jealous of anyone who has an outfit to wear (bailed the one Halloween-party I've ever been invited to last year, just because I had absolutely nothing that didn't look like my ordinary clothes).
