Calling all FOPS

[Master James]

Thank you all!  I had a FABULOUS time and really enjoyed myself!  I still have many things left to do to the garb to finish it so next year I'll have more pictures of the finished piece.

All i can say is my hubby is amazed  at your work.  He loved it.  I have to say he is now considering taking his flamingo into a fop.   Wow.... love it.

Did you shave down your goatee really close or is it the same as usual? I shaved mine off but then didnt have it when I wanted to be a pirate fr the same run of our faire? Yours looks nicely covered up.

[Master James]

I shaved the mustache and gotee really close so once I took off the makeup I still had them albiet really short.  I've come up with a new addition to the garb for next year, I just purchase a gorgeous lavendar satin for a cape!  I think is should be fantastic and add a bit more to the garb.  Plus I'm going to make a pink cod piece as well.  Can't wait for next year!

[SleepyArcher]

thats what I thought.

I am thinking of finding out when Kansas city is and going there to see their FOPS. I may have to come out and see you one of these days.

[Master James]

KCRF runs I think late August through Columbus Day.  We were there Columbus Day weekend last year and only Count Leopold was there for one day.  I was a bit disapointed as I was looking forward to seeing the entire crew as well.  Well if you want to catch me in my FOP garb, come the final weekend of Maryland on Sunday.  That is out Day of Wrong when I will be wearing it again!  I caused enough of a stir, having 2 of us would be too much fun!  LOL

Master James your pictures were awesome.  The capture of the reactions people had on their faces was great.

[Master James]

Thank you.  I had a FANTASTIC time and plan on doing it again next year!  LOL

I think you really pulled that off well- the thing that really helped is you totally changed your posture, that sold it!

Thanks, I think if you are going to do a character you should do it right.     It helps too that a friend of mine at VARF plays a "gay" character and he spent a lot of time with a friend of his that was gay to get the walk and everything down right.  I just mimicked him and the wife gave me some pointers on standing properly as well.

male fops = yum

My wife just shakes her head everytime I talk about it. She cant even walk with me when I am out there as a FOP, she walks behind me lol. I love doing it. The looks, the astonishment is so much fun. No one will do it with me. I was mad I missed the FOps at MNRF last year. I was out there but couldnt FOP it.

I will have to see about you fair Master James and will leet you know.

[Master James]

LOL I KNOW what you mean my friend!  My wife would either walk behind or in front of me but would not walk WITH me!  LOL  She said she enjoyed watching the expressions as they noticed me or after I passed better anyway!  Would be great to add another FOP to the mix!  OMG I don't think they would survive it!

Master James I think you and Lord Fondlebottom(love that name) would just be to much together, that would be a hoot. I would love to see the expressions as you two pass by! I hope you two can make it happen.

I might have to make a trip out East, when is it again??
