Renaissance Pleasure Faire Southern
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.
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
I am hungry- for food, for life, new experiences, new people. I have an appetite to rival that of a starving Ethiopian child, and I’m not someone to be afraid to say that. Some days I’m a liberal hippie. Some days, a formal dandy. I am rarely colloquial. I am incredibly pretentious and carry an ego suiting somebody much more interesting than myself. I am an adopted mother figure to many I know, and earn the title of soothsayer often. I love camping and being out of doors, but I feel just as at home in the middle of Santa Monica Boulevard. I can mosh myself to sleep one night, and traverse the faire-grounds as a working wench the next. I am forward thinking with an eye on the past. I am a lover. I am definitely a fighter.
At Southern this past year you may have seen me working for Fellowship Foundry. You may have even stepped poor little drunken me.
If you visited Koroneburg RenFest, you probably looked up my skirt as I sat drinking (and hawking) from the roof of Fellowship Foundry's little box of a booth, or maybe gotten laced into a bodice by me at Lady and the Fool.
Or, if you went to Big Bear this year, you may have seen me wandering around barefoot and hungover, looking for shade.
If you think you remember me from my younger years (I've been attending faires since I was 14- and people still didn't realize I was dungeon bait) I looked something like this.
If you want to look me up on other sites, my MySpace is located at http://myspace.com/the_demoness and my livejournal is located at http://lilium_vitiate.livejournal.com
