   Off the walls estatic here!!
Good morrow everyone!! I just came out of the Renaissance Faire of PA and that was a blast. I spent two days there with my mom. It was a 'mother-daughter bond' kinda gig. Sure I was a little depressed that my friends couldnt come with me instead but oh well at least I got there. The Faire itself was decent...the food prices were outrageous along with some of the merchendise but all in all everything was pretty fair in the $$$ terms. I found my halloween costume there, spent about a hundred fifty dollars more then I wanted to but hell it was worth it. There's a black lace slip under a white chimise and a reversable corset with a black and violet side to it. I'm EXTREMELY happy with it, I'll stick a picture up on here as soon as I break out my digital cam at home. The people there were a little...well it wasnt what I would have liked to see. I was expecting that everyone would be like 'merry olde England' and polite...a lot of people were really rude! I nearly slapped this one guy for the comment he made but oh well...I took pictures of all the guys that I thought were attractive..got a pirate (he was my favorite), Jack Sparrow, three Scottish boys, the pickle vendor, and the boy at the front gate. Oh well it was the hormones going. The best one was when I grabbed the picture of the Scottsmen. To get thier attention I called out in my Irish accent 'Oy! Ye lads with the long wavy hair an' the tight arses smile for me so I can git ye picture!' My mom was horrified but the guys laughed and let me take it!! The stuff that they had to sell there was cool too. I got a pirate mug that says 'Pick your Poison' on the front under a Jolly Rodger, two head bandannas with the skulls and crossbones, and a cool looking stone dragon candle holder. I was really pissed off at myself because I had seen a different vendor selling the COOLEST inscense burner I have ever seen. It was a stone dragon's head with a red jewel for the eye. You put the oil inside of it and the smoke would come out of its nostrils and mouth it was SPIFFY! AND SOMEBODY BOUGHT IT BEFORE I COULD GET BACK TO THE STAND!! I was PISSED. >< What the most outrageous thing was these particular vendors tho. This guy and his family were selling these adorable dragon puppets that could nod/shake thier heads, breath, wiggle thier bums and flap thier wings. They were the most BEAUTIFUL puppets ever and I was wiling to lay down 85$ for one if it came down to it, thats how nice they were. The problem was that not only did this guy have ten salespeople harassing you about them but there werent any pricetags on the puppets. That's because that the prices actually varied by how the salespeople judged you. One look at my dress and my mom's wedding ring said 'Rich People' and UP UP UP went the prices. It was OBSCENE for the good ones they were asking 260 $ when the day before (when I was in my normal clothes) it was 85 $ for the largest ones. The one that I wanted had originally been 45...when I went to buy it it was a hundred and fifty. So naturally I didnt buy it and that really did make me upset because they were just WONDERFUL puppets. Oh well I'll have to find something else...

Urrghhh this corset's murder...

Anyhoo, I'm getting carsick right now b/c I'm on the way home using my wireless internet chip in the car and MAN am I quesy...I'll talk to everyone again real soon so have fun, live life, and all that jazz!!
