We want people to be creative so we are leaving it mysterious.  I don't think we want to tell you the is what you have to wear, what fun would that be?   

Okay, Terre...
I've decided to come naked.
Except for my 6" heel boots, and lots of jewelry. of course.

In that case I might just have to visit.

The gents over at Pygmypony have posted photos of the Masquerade dress rehearsal, so you all can take a peek at the venue, what the cast will be wearing, and what some of the attendees wore. http://pygmypony.net/TRF14/index.htm

You won't be the only one so come on!
No, seriously!
I WOULD come that way...but I would be the only one, looking at the photos, lol.
I soul love to wear some diaphanous, sheer Greek-y sort of thing, or go the other direction with some bondage looking super-hero leather and lace (More Cosplay, like the Masquerade of Jareth)... BUt it looks like everyone in the photos is wearing either FORMAL or their ren-gear.

Shoot straight, Terre - what will be the range of wardrobe??  A girl's worst fear is arriving at the ball dressed all wrong!

Tink

I have a feeling the abundance of formal wear was due to the particular people invited to attend that night.  (BTW, Terre, love the gold shoes!)

Aren't they cool? Very Michael Nesmith-ish! :D

I'm seriously tempted on getting a ticket to go on barbarian weekend, but if I went I would be going as my character from Middlefaire, Asterion the Minotaur (was going to bring him down there this weekend, but other commitments in Shreveport have changed those plans). If they're doing this theme with Pan, based on what I could read, it could be an interesting conversation if Pan decided to chat with me, since my minotaur character considers Pan his patron deity.... Truthfully, I would honestly love to get input on if me going as my minotaur character would be appropriate or not....

If you want to come as a minotaur that's acceptable.  any and all outfit you feel comfortable wearing are acceptable.

So...
Have the costumes gotten any more diverse or daring?? Contemplating coming again :)

Terre Albert

You still win the best dressed award!  I've seen some really beautiful stuff and some more risky outfits but I believe it's going to take a few years to get up to your standards.  If you want to come again you can be my guest.

We had a beautiful lady in the ball this past weekend in a toga.  Any chance it was you?  I wasn't there!

So can't wait to go this weekend! Initially just bought a regular ticket for the ball, but after that very impressive video that was posted on Monday, I called and upgraded to the Golden Ticket....Got all my garb ready to go as my minotaur character from Middlefaire, I can't wait to wear it to the ball! Might even buy some additional items during the day, haven't decided yet if I will be or what I'm going to get.

Come on weekend, get here quickly!!!!
