That would be me, renmailed you.

Is there a shop out there that sells parasols? I have one but if they aren't too much I could just buy another. Lady Joyce do you have a off white or purple one?

[analise]

The only shop that sells parasols at MDRF that I know of is Dragon Wings and they're pretty fancy and expensive: http://www.dragonwings.net/BattenburgLaceParasols.htm

That said, I've got a paper parasol I could be convinced to part with for a weekend if you like green. (the ribs are darker green, the paper much lighter, you can see me holding it closed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/morningstar1369/2854358737/in/set-72157607278158701/ )

i will be doing the whole fop thing  on DOW as well. cept im taking on a couture high fashion twist! it would be great if we could all get together for some photo ops or something!

OMG this is going to be AWESOME!!!!  We definitely have to meet up!  My only concern is getting together we may NEVER get out of the spot we are in!  It took me 2 1/2 hours last year to go from the White Hart to the Dragon (a 10 minute walk) because I had so many requests for pictures!  With a group of us we my never move!  LOL   

Oh yes!!!!!

Say James I finished my shoes and they turned out wonderful! TOOL is a wonderful thing hehe. I wonder what TSA is going to say when I have my hat and wig in my carry on lol.

LOL my friend they will I'm sure not even notice it.  Can't wait to see the whole thing.  I'm adding a lavendar cape to the ensemble this year and also should have my sleeves done this year as well.

Tailgate:

We all hang around someone's truck/suv and eat pastries, drink mimosas, and other such sundry things and generally chat before opening cannon. Typically this occurs in the "front" row of cars in the parking lot on the left side of the gate (if you're facing away from it toward the parking lot).

True dat!

We're usually the ones there at 8:30 when the parking gates open. . . talk about dedication!

Tonight I go looking for luggage big enough to fit a parasol into. How lame is that?  Actually I need a new one as TSA broke my last piece of luggage and wouldn't replace it. Long story.
