Okay, enough wallowing and self-loathing! I have a faire report to make!
If you're also on Serena's friends' list, then I apologize for the similar topic. If not, here's a report of yesterday's festivities at the NY ren faire. :3
This was my second time going this month as Jesse had taken me there for my birthday last weekend. Thankfully, the faire is never dull and I never mind going there. Serena and I did a lot more walking and observing of shows, something I didn't really do last time as my mind was preoccupied last weekend (sorry, Jesse!). Also, it's a little easier to take it easy with someone else who doesn't object to simply people watching. Not to mention it gave me the opportunity to properly fangirl the delicious manflesh that was walking around. Hehe.
One such notable piece of finery was one of the Sherrif's men (unfortunately unknown to my friend, Al, who works in the show) that we saw walking around during our french fry break at the fountain. Serena noticed him first as I think my head was down or I was oogling something else at the time; it was her observation of his nice ass that made me lift my head straightaway. I caught sight of him almost as soon as she said it and boy howdy, did he ever have a nice ass! We watched him for a bit, enjoying the view, before getting up and wandering away again.
When we came in, I'd pointed out the Cast in Bronze carillon, stating it was an awesome show and that we needed to watch it in full as I'd only seen the end tail of it last time. Long story short, we both fell a little in love with the musician who performed (it was totally the mask and mystery that came with it) and both agreed that, upon closer inspection, he had very beautiful eyes. Serena bought two of his CDs (which I'm listening to right now, whee), then we moved on to watch the joust. As we were seeking a closer place to sit, we missed a crucial point in the show that caused everyone to start dueling, including the Queen, eventually resulting in the Sheriff's demise. It was short, but such fun! Also, the Robin Hood was hot and had a pretty horse. Hehe.
Serena bought me some horns as I've been missing my original pair from forever ago and I just looked that good in them. Serena bought some cute purple ears that clipped behind her real ones and poked out her hair. The shopkeeper selling them was, I think, genuinely beside himself with us as it seemed everything we put on was perfect. Of course, he could've also just been selling the product and was simply sweetening the deal with the compliments, but I like to think we stood out. It was nice just the same to be showered with compliments, then "hit on" by him when I revealed I was single. Hehe. It was sweet of him to state that I deserved a boyfriend who appreciated horns and if he didn't, he was more or less an idiot. I didn't have the heart to say that the one I'm interested in probably wasn't into that sorta thing. Or would he be? I honestly have no idea! Hm.
And because no faire update is complete without a picture, here's a shot of me wearing the horns while we were waiting for Cast in Bronze to begin:
