Title: Faire Garb, from Cosplay to Authentic
Post by: EltonJ on October 23, 2014, 05:39:11 PM
Some links to deviant art on Faire fashion amongst Rennies.  All of them are imaginative.

-----------------------

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-319266391 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-319266391) -- I think this one falls under cosplay.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/At-the-Faire-86056220 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/At-the-Faire-86056220) -- six years ago, this beautiful one dressed up with a hat and pirate costume.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Ezio-at-the-renaissance-fair-167112764 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Ezio-at-the-renaissance-fair-167112764) -- I don't know who this guy is dressed up as.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Faire-Troll-01-16099156 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Faire-Troll-01-16099156) -- Here's a troll, she is beautiful.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-179181253 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-179181253) -- neat things you can do with makeup.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Steampunk-395489202 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Steampunk-395489202) -- brilliant.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Day-at-the-Faire-36967120 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Day-at-the-Faire-36967120) -- this one's highly creative.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Fair-46-247818031 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Fair-46-247818031) -- exotic work.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-3-Blue-Knight-316322525 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Bristol-Renaissance-Faire-3-Blue-Knight-316322525) -- no commentary.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Faire-7-215255467 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Renaissance-Faire-7-215255467) -- a cat on her master's shoulder.  If you ask me, a ferret with a leash would be nicer.

http://www.deviantart.com/art/1580-s-Italian-Renaissance-105326884 (http://www.deviantart.com/art/1580-s-Italian-Renaissance-105326884) -- very authentic.

   Some lovely work, on people who are having fun!

   There is room at faire for every kind of garb. 
   I like watching the Steamers, Doctors and the Gamers stroll through; and as long as they are having fun-they harm no one and they will be back with ticket money next year. 
   Playtrons can wear whatever they want.

Absolutely loved the Blue Dice Heads who were at TRF a couple years back.  Not sure if they are regulars, but they definitely got my attention.

The last photo is a Forum member.  I've met her, and she does beautiful work.

I am happy for such an accepting group. :)
