Winnipeg, August and Forever Part I

Aug 14, 2007 12:10

So thus begins my tale of adventure and amazement, a true epic of the modern era - this, dear friends, is my trip to Winnipeg! Presented over the course of a few days I will reward my reader with great spins of action, politics, intrigue and lust! (Ok, maybe only one or two of those.) In any event, let's start at the start and leave to the winds ( Read more... )

exceptional degrees of "happy", moving pictures, moving forward by moving back, the frozen north, his imperial highness, full frontal nerdity, (the) epic win, painting with words and other nancy crap, no eljay without ehjay, made of "love" and "awesome", putting the tent in pretentious, train-ing day, historically speaking, profound-ity

Or Canada's only historican willing to give historic tours in a backless shirt? Seriously, I think the historic tourism industry would do so much better if we didn't have to wear polo shirts and those hideous mom pants.

Welcome to the Louisbourg National Historic Site! Brought to you by... Hooters!

I think it could work.

Ugh. Can you imagine some of those tarts in whatever kind of clothes they wear at Louisbourg? What is that period anyway, french colonial? I don't know what that would look like, but I guess you could pull off some sort of bibfront-down dress...

mencc1701 August 14 2007, 19:11:10 UTC

That would probably both hilariously and frighteningly bad.

And yeah, French colonial would be it... early-to-mid 18th century. A period where skirts ending above the ankle were racey and revealing.

I wear hilariously slutty skirts (above the ankle, almost midcalf), but that's early 19th century labourer/random Aboriginal girl, so it's acceptable. And the wool leggings make it less crazy.

mencc1701 August 14 2007, 20:14:37 UTC

Hmmm, so kind of like the 19th century version of wearing a short skirt over jeans?

pyroclasticgrub August 14 2007, 20:29:03 UTC

Yeah, kind of. Except that these leggings only go up to your knee, are made of wool, usually have cut/quill/beadwork all over them and are tied below the knee with garters made of woven wool. Not exactly 80s. ;)

mencc1701 August 14 2007, 21:01:11 UTC

Not exactly 80

I don't think I could deal with Canadian history if it looked like the 80s...

Only one reason to go, then. teamrodent August 14 2007, 20:27:12 UTC

Would there be chicken wings?

Re: Only one reason to go, then. pyroclasticgrub August 14 2007, 20:30:21 UTC

Nope, buffalo wings. Oh wait, that offer's only on at Head-smashed in Buffalo jump National Historic site.

I wasn't going to mention how much I enjoyed that.
