A to Z Challenge: Renaissance Faires

Click here for more participants!

This, my friends, is what separates the chicly geeky and the true geeks among us.  This is a topic that only the ones that are fearlessly geeky will admit to: I love Renaissance faires.

And not just going for the turkey legs, beer, and roasted almonds.

Nope.  I'm one of the ones that goes in garb.  But I'm not even the history buff that researches and goes in historically accurate garb.  There's something to be said for that dedication and research.

Nope, I just like to go in vaguely period outfits and play the adult version of dress up.

If I could talk my husband into it, I would probably have a full name and history made up (usually, in my head I have something roughed out).

I'm really looking forward to making a cooler weather outfit, so I can go to Scarborough Faire in garb this year (I had to back out, because damask and velvet don't do well in Southern Texas).

And just in case you think I'm putting all this on, here's a pic:

That's right, we had a Renaissance wedding.

Yup, I have my geek card for life.
