    About Me Lover, Drunkard, and General Wench. If you run into me at faire, you'll either see me working, stumbling around drunk, or being pulled around by one kilted man or another.
    Likes Purple! :) Oh, and Guinness! Being walked around faire on a leash. Cute Scots. MelMix- and of course Mel. Faire favours. Having an excuse to dress up and be dirty. Months of sleepless weekends. Blockading opening parade on closing day.
    Dislikes Creepy guys from Strapwell, faire drama, and leftover nails from faire build laying around on the days I forget to wear shoes.
    Hobbies Do I need more hobbies than faire itself? Okay, maybe. I knit. I sew. I bead. I dance. I'm an unstoppable doodler. I "work" at Rocky Horror. I craft incessantly. I constantly redesign my room. Corsetry. I involve myself in all things alt-fashion, which really isn't a hobby as much as it is a lifestyle.
    Vices I'm a total rum-glutton- and a purple glutton, and really, I'll drink almost any alcohol offered to me.
    Virtues None of it gets me drunk easily? Oh, and I'm a pretty awesome corset/bodice lacer.

    Seamstresses, ADVICE?

    This coming season it appears I will have to go through costume approval! Now, most of my costume is appropriate, save for having to remove some of my belt accessories and favors BUT

     I have two questions:

     One of my skirts is light and charcoal grey vertical STRIPES. It's very loosely and slubbily woven, and looks very period, but are 1" stripes period accurate between 1550 and 1620?

     Also, what of striped stockings? I know they're common faire garb, but are they period? (Woolen, not nylon.)

    If anyone can tell me, or at least direct me to a website with information on prints of the era, I would be much obliged

     

    GRAMMERCY,

    Bee

    On Santa Clarita.

     

    My home city has met the apocalypse. At least the flames around my house have receded onto themselves.

    I would like some sleep, but I don't trust the world.

     

     Here's to everyone else being okay.
