Queen for a day
So last night I played the role of Queen Victoria. I had loads of fun! Firstly big thanks to hubby for looking after the girls so I could disappear for the night, and for putting up with me over the last few weeks as I made my dress.
Thank you to Ellen, I had a blast playing alongside her. She did such a great job as my Lady in Waiting. So good I think people had a hard time getting to me, and she looked amazing as well. I really felt at a loss when she disappeared to fight Cleopatra and was so totally relieved when she returned.
Thanks also to Frank and Nick. It was a pleasure gaming with you both as always. Though I am somewhat disappointed that I never did get to slap Nick…maybe next time.
Being Queen was an interesting experience. It was a little surreal but very gratifying to have people move out of my way as I walked around, and thanks to those who shielded me from the masses when I swooned. It was very cool. I want to be Queen more often
And the props…what can I say except WOW! Having a strategy map on hand was amazing.
Hannah as Cleopatra/Isis, you were amazing.
I also hoped that last night I managed to really leave behind my biggest concern with my past LARPing, that is being to cautious and keeping emotions locked away. Instead, I tried to wear those emotions on my sleeve (or bustle).
