Renaissance Festival (late post)


I just realized I never showed off my cute costume from the Renaissance festival this summer. Well, here it is. And you even get a Frank-da-Pug cameo for good measure.

I had my hair done at the fair, because we all know I even fail at my own ponytail attempts. The design was called "Princess with Fireworks"- so of course I found it fitting. Trish, Bruce, Vince and I spent more time shopping than actually going through all the entertainment. Sometimes it is dangerous to have Trish and I loose when there is shopping that can be done. Remember the 3-hour "we just needed some velcro" Walmart shopping trip?

It was a hot day, we drank lots of pink lemonade and thank goodness we had umbrellas for shade. (was that almost a poem just now?) I really enjoyed watching the bagpipe players and the drummers, but I also got to see an elephant up close which for some reason became the highlight for me.

I'm wearing my adorable corset and red hip poof things that are from Damsel in the Dress, snagged them up during an online grab bag sale. Thank goodness (grab bag style) she matched some fun items up for me, because I usually go for black and navy but this red and gold is GORGEOUS! I purchased my first corset from her when she was out in Denver for Anamolycon, the steampunk convention. My exact words to my friend Holly were, "Look Holly- I have boobs!" Umm.. on that awkward admission I think my post for today is done.
