CT Ren Faire pictures

[dancerjodi]

Here they are http://diabolis.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=215 .

Things to note are my naughty husband (who wants to be flogged), a woman in the joust (first time I've seen it aka hawt), and an injury in the joust. The poor guy had his helmet fall off as he went down from the horse, landed face-first on the ground, and proceeded to bleed all over himself (made for one realistic battle scene)!

I really liked this fair and would like to go back again next year, taking the time to see more performers.

Also, I found my bodice. I'm going to suck it up and give Moresca a lot of money at some point to get one of these http://www.moresca.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=115&catid=30 . I really love the design and think its a good one for me given the fulless of my hips. The one I have (that I paid a lot of money for at the Sterling faire comes higher at the waist and digs into me (in addition to not having straps up top). Now, what color? Hmm . . .

And soon I'll pick up more Bedlam CDs, I love their harmonies!

Great bodice that you picked out. I love my Moresca Pirate Bodice. It fits me great. It's an XXL, which in Moresca terms is an XL. It was the best money ever spent for a piece of garb.

Enjoy!

Their web site stinks. They use incorrect HTML, so none of the images show up on a mac.

The \ isn't the right way to do a web page. It happens to work by accident on windows computers, but not on mac or unix.

I sent them an email telling them that, so I'll be interested to see if I hear back.

it doesn't work on my windows computer!

I remember seeing Moresca at a faire years ago, and fell in love with their styles. I'd love to see what they're doing now!

I own one.. LOVE it too !!!

It's wicked comfy..easy to get tied into (yay sidelacing) and works great as a corset without the straps too !!!

the only drawback being... get used to not bending at the waist. ;)

Re: I own one.. LOVE it too !!!

[wench33.livejournal.com]

Actually I can bend at the waist in it.. I really like the way Moresca makes these.

well, i guess not bending at the waist was extreme, but DEFINITELY there's no slouching allowed.

it does make it more difficult to sit on the ground and get back up again without help because of that lack of bending/slouching thing though. ;)

Re: I own one.. LOVE it too !!!

[wench33.livejournal.com]

hee-hee it sure does..:) but still more freedom of movement than in a regular corset.

that's the style of moresca that i have. i love it. some people have had complaints about them not holding up, though, but i've never had trouble with mine since 1998.

also, by Bedlam CDs, is that The Bedlam Boys?

CD

"The Bedlam Boys?"

It looks like their website calls them Bedlam boys, but they seem to call themselves (on the website) just Bedlam, and their CDs just say Bedlam.

Either way, yep, that's them :)

*swoon* :) i love those guys. they were terrific, and unfortunately weren't at MDRF this year.

Ooh! The Bedlam Boys--love them! I had a CD I borrowed of theirs, the first, which unfortunately I can't find again--I think there was some issue with copyright infringement on the songs so they couldn't put it out again. :(

Tom of Bedlam is a great song. The Crimson Pirates from NYRF, have this song on their 3rd CD called "Putrid and Disgusting"

Here's a link to their site: http://www.crimsonpirates.com

"That's less than 20 minutes from me."

I did say in LJ we were going :)

I wasn't driving, so I couldn't really suggest where and when we went. It was a good faire . . . you should check it out next year! :)
