You Know You're a True Rennie if...

I wear my faire bloomers under most skirts and dresses, too!

  ~ You're already scheduling vacation for 2012 around faire.  
 ~ You have a reservation system for your garb closet.
   I have requests for two complete outfits and a hoopskirt (so far) by non-rennie friends for Halloween.  
 Another GF has a costume ball after the first of the year and placed dibs on a gown...Perhaps I can convince her to buy that Navy Velveteen Massys dress that I have worn only twice and lost interest in...that way I can fit another gown in the closet while creating yet another Playtron ^_^.

It is almost two weeks after your faire ended, and you have incorporated a fest related item into your work wardrobe every day since, so you don't have to give it up quite. just. yet.  

Most of the time when I wear a skirt or dress to work, underneath are my faire bloomers.  Nobody knows I'm wearing them, but it makes me smile, because I bet nobody else at work has pirate skull bloomers on underneath their skirts!

I love you and Nickie both for this!!!!!!!!  I don't wear dresses/skirts at work.  Too cold in our office.   I would be a popsicle-bloomers or not.

And Rowen, I have already started requesting vacation for next year.   If I don't request it now, the time will be given to one of the other girls I work with.

My place of work has an indoor track around the outside of the cubicles.  Seven times around makes a mile.  Every day at lunch, I walk between 7 to 10 laps wearing my IPOD which is filled only with faire songs.  I call it "me time," and really look forward to stop thinking about work and thinking of my memories of the different faires we've gone to and the friends we met at each faire.

Today I was listening to it, and at the end of one of the songs, the musician yells "hip, hip, huzzah."  Without even thinking about it, I threw back my head, punched my fist up in the air, and yelled out "huzzah."  Then realized where I was.

I turned to the left and hundreds of eyes were looking at me.  The people who know me just smiled and shook their heads.  They knew what it was about.  And the newer people looked at me as if I was a madwoman.  I just kept walking!

So ... you mean they all looked at you like you were a madwoman, right?

We're all mad here, quite mad. In a good way.

You are taking a software class for inventory management..... their examples are Henry from Tudor Contracting and Catherine from Aragon supplies.
....and none of the other people in the class see anything funny.

And speaking of inventory, while you're rummaging through your garb, as I was just now, you're thinking that an inventory sheet is starting to sound like a good idea.

I wish I could. LOL. The 'logo' they used for Aragon Supplies was the flag of Catalunya....which was a whole different country.

This just happened over lunch...

You are at a stop light and see someone standing on the corner waiting for the cross walk light dressed in a knock off pirate outfit and think, "Amateur..."

[ladylissame]

You see that Target has pirate infant sleepersuits and you buy one in each size.
Here he is in it at OHRF.

You go out to lunch with your husband, and when the change comes back, there are 5 singles. 

Your first thought is, "Don't leave the singles, we need them for tips for the performers,"  before it hits you that your faire has been closed for over 2 months.

If you go to your closet just for Ren things and longingly go through them....

Drop $235 on cloak without blinking......

Talk about your garb all year round, even talk about what your going to wear 2 years ahead of time!

Have friends make special trips to your major city with the purpose of fabric and materials shopping for garb...

Your coworkers start asking you advice on how to get tickets, you answer and launch into an advice diatribe ie warn them about not talk on the cell phones around performers....

Swear up & down you lived a past life around this time period because when you garb up you transform into Ren mode: You walk, talk, hold yourself, speak, facial expressions all changes and your Fairemily finds it slightly scary....

If non Renners look at your Faire pics of you and can tell your in said above transformed state, just by looking at a still.....
