Don't forget that you'd also need to blame someone for not being able to dress up on Halloween, for not being able to arrange a local mini-convention, and for not being able to dress as you like outside of work.<br /><br />I have costumes that are not historical at all; I don't wear them to historical events. But I do wear them.Selkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09214927031735474206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542463598011355825.post-45571350979992567042012-01-01T03:32:36.934-08:002012-01-01T03:32:36.934-08:00I dunno, every time I get the urge to do Tolkien-e...I dunno, every time I get the urge to do Tolkien-esque or pseudo-historical costuming, I come and browse through here to remind myself that it's not worth the time and effort to make something fun if I have nowhere appropriate to wear it to.<br /><br />I don't LARP any more due to the local group talking crap about me because of my weight, can't really afford to take time off work so I can drive for hours to do a convention, and none of what I'm interested in would be acceptable at SCA events or even the local fantasy styled ren faire, as your blog so eloquently illustrates.<br /><br />So thank you. I've saved tonnes of money by not giving in to my urge to have fun with clothing, and I've also managed to avoid not making a complete fool of myself and shaming everyone who takes it more seriously than I do. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115040842580715620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542463598011355825.post-82634791654174138442011-11-06T16:50:43.654-08:002011-11-06T16:50:43.654-08:00GFT, your comments are a clever mix of substance a...GFT, your comments are a clever mix of substance and snark - visually stimulating with a poke in the eye. i have a question about the proper identification of a Renaissance headpiece for a woman.

The 104 posts in 2009 were wonderfully entertaining, and I'm hoping for more! Between being in the SCA, and teaching a costume history class, I need the chuckles that I get from your snarks and insights. It helps me cope with all of the really bad stuff that I see out there, far too often!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885111469965099722noreply@blogger.com
