Happy Fun Picture Time!

...or, look at Laura embarrass herself again.

A while back, I was talking about some of my first SCA outfits.  Thankfully, no pictures have ever been unearthed (as far as I know), but I did promise sketches of some of them.

You have to understand, I joined the SCA when I was 18, but I had been costuming long before then - I have always loved dressing

Is it confession time?

[rufinia]

The first SCA outfit I ever made myself (someone made my first three) was inspired by a romance novel cover.

That's funny; my first name (Isobel) was from a romance novel about a feisty Scottish lass (with an inexplicably English name). :)

It gets worse- it was before I learned that linen, in modern fabric store terms, is both a fiber and weave- so it was made out of cotton muslin and poly "linen".

My first name (Apollonia) came from The Godfather - the name of Michael's first wife...

Awww. . .My first SCA name was Isobel. Which I documented from a romance novel. Not that Morrghan is document-able, but I've been using it for 12 years now.

Wait - was the novel you read about a Scottish girl who is forcibly married to an abusive lord, and she becomes a witch so she can mess with him, and there's oodles of hot coven-on-coven sex, and SATAN!!!!!! ?

'cause that novel rocked.

(It was named "Isobel", btw. I read it in college.)

No it was a novel about a modern woman reliving a past life where she was a Scottish woman who was the mistress of Robert the Bruce, and she gets put in a cage on a tower, because she was a witch (not really).
