Using your garb in the mudane life/ incorcorating it into your day

[Dallan]

Wore my saffron kilt for St. Patrick's Day.

I have yet to try wearing any of my pirate garb in every day life. I suppose my shirt would be passable....and my knee length pants could probably be misconstrued as some elaborate shorts...

I have worn my pirate scarf on my motorcycle.

Funny enough, last night I was smoking my pipe and talking to my gf about going to Scarborough Faire....I got so nostalgic and excited that I put on my shirt, scarf and hat....while smoking my pipe while sitting on the balcony lit by a oil lamp.......lol.

I'm wearing my new fairy outfit to Eeyore's birthday party which is a big festival in Austin.  I wore my courtesan outfit for Halloween this year also.  Other than that, sadly my stuff doesn't really fit with my every day life, it's not too professional...  I do wear my jewelry and shoes sometimes other places.  I got a new bodice though that I think I could wear out clubbing, but haven't done it yet.

Eeyore's Birthday party is such a great time...fun characters like Silverman.

A young girl clasped a neclace with a small rampant lion pendant abround my neck.  I took it off once in two years, to clean it and to replace the thin chain.  I finally lost it when the Queen and I were tussling.

After my Faire belts start to show too much wear for a King, I cut them in half and make two belts.  The one I'm wearing right now I've had for almost 10 years.  The other half was cut up to make sword straps and the like.

At my wedding, here is what I wore:

The leather Tophat I got in Ohio at the Blond Swan I wear that thing everywhere

  Awesome photos of the wedding party.  I occasionally try and sneak in my ren boots under my pants, though they seem to be better suited for the colder months. I've also worn them in conjunction with a Joker costume, but thats another story.

You and your groomsmen look so very handsom!!  I am dying for faire just simply to see all the men in faire garb since they look so so much better that way!!!!

Confusing - so is the Renaissance Festival reference spurious or does it mean that they think female Rennies are likely to be the worst dressed women in America? (rhetorical question)

[Messyn McCleavage]

The email I posted above states that they are looking particularly for a rennie woman. I'm guessing that they got such a huge response from that July episode that they want to do another? There was another woman on an episode I've seen recently who was wearing fairy wings everywhere she went, as if she were 5 years old.
