ickaimpBECAUSE I AM A LAZY BASTARD.
Have one Viking dress (brown, with blue trim), one Middle Eastern dress (dark red) and a pair of navy harem pants (non-translucent, you pervs)
We have a Faire the first weekend of Febuary.
Does anyone have any suggestions for costuming/time periods for me to dress in? Gonna need a few more outfits than what I already have.
was thinking if we do a dark persian outfit, can be a pirate-ninja! XD

Date: 2005-12-15 09:57 pm (UTC)Just making lots of clothing. ^^;; Some of which I wear in normal life, because I'm a freak like that. ^____^

Date: 2005-12-15 11:11 pm (UTC)Most of the 'odd' stuff I wear is from my Grandparents, who did historical re-enactment as well. Black powder / US Frontier / Mountain Man era, so only 150 years back.
But I have several calico riverman shirts with wood buttons that generally get odd looks. ^__^ But they're comfortable and they're sturdier than a lot of store-bought clothing, so I wear them.
Also have a chinese shirt that I wear as a jacket that I'm slowly starting to cover with odd patches.
Um... can see it here. (http://pics.livejournal.com/ickaimp/gallery/00009s6s) ^_^

Date: 2005-12-15 03:24 pm (UTC)You could go as a druid? O_o? Um...*thinks*
...yeesh, I thought I would be better at thinking about this sort of thing. Actually, I can think of a number of roles, but they're not for women =___=;;; Stupid men from the past~~!
Yeah...>.>;;;

Date: 2005-12-24 11:00 am (UTC)I'm doing simple t-tunics, baggy pants/shorts, and pirate shirts.
Hurrah for generic!Peasant.
Actually, I'm thinking something along the lines of the son of a herbist/apothecary
and something involving lots of leather*cannot spell*

Date: 2005-12-16 03:51 am (UTC)I'd break the fabric!!!
But I'll consider looking into that after I start up belly dancing classes again. *shimmies hips*

Um... Really really really heavy fabric? And some rope? ~__^
Hmm...
Date: 2005-12-15 09:46 pm (UTC)Even though Persia wasn't really part of Faire, most people who don't have the European dress usually go in Middle Eastern or barbaric.
With what you have at the moment, pirate would go nicely.
Re: Hmm...
Date: 2005-12-15 09:53 pm (UTC)there's a thousand years there to play with.
I did Elisabethian costuming for years.
Not going back to a bodice any time soon, thanks. *rubs aching back*

Re: Hmm...
Date: 2005-12-16 03:54 am (UTC)When someone's mobile phone went off, they attacked it with the clubs, grunting about 'bad magic'.
-Until someone got hit on the head by accident, in which case they gathered around the paitent, suddenly speaking medical lingo. -The 'Cavemen' were a group of Doctors and Nurses!!!
Once it was established that the guy was gonna be fine, they resumed grunting and playing in the dirt... ^^;;
-Doc is sitting there making Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail comments. ^_____^

Date: 2005-12-16 02:00 pm (UTC)I'm disapointed that you took down that one post-- I guess it was a fic about Aoko?-- before I had a chance of reading it. ::sniffs:: Ah, well. Life is just like that, I guess.
Have a good time at the Faire! Never been to one myself, but I'd sure like to go.

Date: 2005-12-16 10:10 pm (UTC)Sorry, that was a temp post. ^^;; It was all the WIPs for TGZ for someone to read.
Was thinking about doing a japanese farm garb... not a kimono, cause my body is the wrong shape for it. Hmm...
Renn Faires are fun, but you learn more at SCA Faires. ^^;;
