My sweetie-pops and I traveled today to 18th Century France to attend the Lumieres Picnic at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. We'd been invited to Lumieres events before but had never managed to attend one, so when I awoke this morning with a monster migraine I wasn't willing to let it derail our plans. I popped an imitrex, laced up the corset and powered through. By the time we arrived on site my head was mostly cleared up.
The dashing and generous demode loaned me a dress for the days as mine is out of commission currently, and Cathyn put on his Colonel's uniform for the occasion. We met up with a lovely group of people including callistotoni and her gentleman. The dappled shade made photos difficult but I got a few nice ones. Here are some of my favorite pics:
