LRF 3-day weekend --days 1 and 2
LRF Daytime
Gypsy wedding! Young Tristan and Cecily married at the small stage by the pirate camp, with ribbons in the trees and rose petals in the aisle. They bit of the apple and jumped the broom together and everything! Master Tanner performed the ceremony. It was beautiful, if somewhat uncoordinated. :P Much cheering by Renfolk, and even some by the baby. :D
A young woman gave me a rose! She flirts with me without me flirting with her first! Talk about ego boost. No wonder my head is so huge. Her anem's Morgan by the way.
Link's neighbor's name is Larry!
Link is flirty as all hell (HUZZAH)
Apparently I'm not the only big fan of Thomas Wood--some random coupla women were asking where his show was and I had to inform them that he isn't there this half of the season. So we talked about him a bit, and they like him a lot. :D
A young man there with bright pink hair happened by the pirate camp. Dr. Hart asked if he's a fairy (referring to his pink hair). He said quite roudly he was, so she asked if he had any fairy dust. Sadly, he didn't, but a girl he was with did--so we asked him to come back later to bless the gypsy wedding couple, and he did!
MJ who works at Crystal Stix across the lane from the pirate camp was flirty today. I think I've got a new flirting partner. Whee.
Brent lives in the gutter. As one should. It's too much fun to be anywhere else.
Brent gives REALLY GREAT arm massages
Gary has the thing you beat the horse's rump with to make it go faster and he used it on me. :D Through about 6 layers, but he used it. *grin*
I also got some spankings (LRF's cast general birthday party was last night and I was one of the two who got to receive the communal spankings.)
Michael figured out that if you take my hat and hold it too high for me to reach, I will jump for it--and this entertains a lot of people. Most of them men.
I like chasing bubbles and men like watching me chase bubbles.
Brent's a Really Good archer!
Justin has an awesome hat and I'm going to buy one just like it except raggedier from his gf. Huzzah.
The folks of Haggis Rampant are FREAKING AWESOME. Mostly just because they're over 30 (half of them over 50) and not only do they not mind me making dirty jokes, but they actually take me seriously. And will be just as bawdy too. And as flirty. Even the woman!
The daughter of Haggis Rampant is fun and cleans up great. No wonder she's got a suitor/errand boy.
Charles and younger Adam were fighting over me. Both were trying to pick me up--literally.
Us Irish folk have the tendency to shoot our mouths off before we have all the facts. Three Irish descendants figured this out together. :P
Dylan lent me his leather rose that I may wear in my bodice. When people learn that it's a scented rose, they get their nose right up into my bosom to smell it. Which was partly the point, I guess.
Considering Dylan had never used a whip before, he's REALLY good with it. I held out the stem of a rose and he was able to whip all the leaves off of it!
Ian won't let people pose for pictures. Instead, he quickly whips out his camera and without even trying to get them in good center he just holds the camera in front of him and flashes it before they even know he's taking a picture.
I finally actually talked to Paolo Garbonzo. Whee. Kewl guy. :D Still haven't seen his show. His act is much the same as Thomas Wood (they used to be partners) but I've been spoiled by Thomas--whom I still need to email btw...crap...note to self.
Rennies at Ryan's
You know you're a Rennie when there are two men flogging each other at Ryan's--and this doesn't shock you in the least.
You know you're a Rennie when you realize not only can cleavage be measured in finger widths, but you don't mind discussing this with a 13-year-old boy in line so most of the people around you can hear.
People, when talking in a group, tend to stand in a circle, right? This is called donuting. At Faire, you are not allowed to donut. At Ryan's, we realized we were donuting, so we all grinned as we commented on how we're never allowed to do this as we stepped in closer. :D We all hooked arms around each other's waist. Joe noticed this and stepped into the middle of the circle. We all cuddled up nice and tight to him (it was a kinda small donut :D 6 people) And we realized--he's stuck! And still in his noble garb! Gary, ever the instigator, suggested that he crawl out through someone's legs. We all knew how improbable that was, given his poofy pants and big hat. So he doffed the hat, Marcy lifted her skirts and parted her legs wide and Joe crawled through them, out the other side. The donut gave birth to a man that was 2 feet taller than the woman who birthed him.
Stuart is sexy and smooth and makes fucking AWESOME chain maile! (Ask him about his flogger or his work with color!)
Anthony looks like Johnny Depp. And I got to kiss him goodnight. (HUZZAH!) He has really liquid--this does not mean wet, but liquid--lips. It's really cool actually. Very fun. I'm jealous.
I got passed around. A LOT. More than any other girl there--and considering Marcy (my biggest competition, my only major competition really) was there, that's saying something. I got lots of kisses and back rubs and head scratches and caresses and was randomly grabbed to people's sides a lot.
I FINALLY figured out where I know that girl and the "fairy" (who I later learned is indeed homosexual in addition to being a fairy :P ) from! I do know them! Whee! They visited my fencing class once ages ago. Happiness. And she's hot and she refuses to believe it. Silly silly girl. Everyone present took a vote on it and agreed, she's beautiful/hott.
Charles is a total slut with ironically high standards. Good for him. Better for me. ;) (I got a lot of good and Very Useful attention)
Furry guy gives "holy fucking" great massages and has REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY soft fur. (I have a new reason to love bunnnies.)
YES you have to put sunblock on your cleavage. TRUST me. Laurie did not know this. But she has this really cool tan line--around her neck it's tan, then there's a line of paleness, then bright red breasts, and if pull down the chemise just enough you can see really white paleness. Very stark contrast.
Luke is fun. And a huge geek.
Kevin is also a huge geek. Well, a fucking scrawny one, but you know what I mean.
Rennies will celebrate ANYthing and will join in anyone else's celebration as well. At Ryan's, if a customer has a birthday, the crew clap and sing their Happy Birthday song. Well. Rennies heard this going on and of course had to join in the clapping. We finished with a big huzzah for the birthday person!
This one spot on my shoulder that has always hurt and no one has ever been able or willing to massage enough to get it out was gotten out. Joe was BRUTAL on it and it WORKED! I am forever dedicated to Joe. If he goes on a genocidal rampage I am still dedicated to him. I love Joe. A lot.
Quotes
The wind blew my hat off, towards Link.
Me: "Well my hat likes you" *bends down to pick it up*
Link: "And I thank the hat!"
Me, to Larry: "I give up on it, I'm taking it off for good."
Larry: "My lady, you can take off anything you like."
I Like Sexual Harassment! ;P
Dylan drew his sword on me
Me: *holds up rose* "But I'm a lover, not a fighter!"
Dylan: "I'm both"
wait for it....yeah. *huge effing grin*
Furry guy reads my "wench for hire" pin
Furry guy: "What are your rates?"
Me: "Always a bit more than you can afford."
Furry guy: "I'm sure I can borrow from somebody. That'd be a bit more than I can afford."
Me: "Well I guess I'm screwed then."
Me, to Brent: "I'm sorry, I'm faithful. Monogamous and faithful, you hafta specify that at Faire."
Ian: *laughs* "Yeah."
I'm just happy he knew immediately what I was referring to and got it! Says something about Faire folk, doesn't it?
Charles: "Why haven't you jumped me yet?"
Me: "Because I'm monogamous and faithful."
Charles: "Why haven't you jumped me yet?"
Me: *jumps into his arms*
The 4 adults--2 grey-headed men, one younger man and a woman--of Haggis Rampant and I were talking.
Me: "(some bawdy comment)"
all: *laugh heartily, praise*
Steven: "Agh! How old are you again?!"
Dude: "She's 17! I remember! She's legal!"
Me: *blush, duck and run*
Them: continue flirting as I jog slightly ahead :D woohoo
Noteable things
We creep people out when we're in garb but not at Faire (eg Ryan's) and it's FUN. And funny.
We're all horribly dirty.
We will celebrate anything.
There was an excellent gypsy wedding between Tristan and Cecily.
I feel like a slut but really I just have really good limits on what I let friends do to me.
A very pretty young woman is trying to seduce me. (Gee darn.)
There is a Johnny Depp lookalike and I got to kiss him. (Do you see yet why I hate monogamy?! ;) diediediediedie)
HUGS!
