The wedding is over - what else do I now have to look forward to, but FAIRE!? Btw - Wendy gave us a gorgeous framed print of this photo, and now it hangs on the wall above my computer. Speaking of sunburn....

1.Tankard, Goblet, or Plastic Cup?
Wooden tankard or wooden goblet, depends on my character of the day.

No - took my kids on a whim.

3. Big Faire, Dam Faire, or Southern?
?? Never been to southern, but never heard of the others

4. Do you regularly smuggle alcohol into Faire?
I always fill my flask(s), but I've put them in some irregular places...

5.What was the last thing you bought - other than food and drink?
hmm... probably jewelry? or clothing accessories

6. Do you regularly pirate pictures?
'pirate'? like take from others collections? yes, but I usually try to give credit. I share the ones I take too

under duress, I maybe last 3/4 of the way

Mound O Wenches

for most events

11. Where was your last out-of state Faire?
never done one - looking forward to it though

12. Do you know the words to a Poxy Boggards' song?
maybe - I might not know that the song belongs to them, cuz I've never seen them perform.

13. How many costumes do you have?
I think 3 - well, counting Dickens 5

always - at least eating utensil

15. Have you been flogged?
no

16. When was your virgin year?
1996?

17. Who originally introduced you to Faire?
Fayre Oaks faire drew me in after seeing it advertized a few years in a row. I took my kids by myself.

18. Have you been drunk at ale stand zero before ever entering Faire?
Heavens no, that'd be like 9:00 in the morning! I presume 'ale stand zero' is a euphemism for the cooler in the car?

Yes - and my girls have too.

many times

21. Do you use a tankard cover?
No.

pouches

23. After seeing what happened to TruBBle, will you tell anyone it's your birthday? Who?
What?
Where?

in my pouch or basket, but I do pull it out to check the time, and sometimes call my daughter. I try to step behind a tree or back of a tent.

usually just whine to go home. Dangerously overheated, yes, then I get out of costume.

26. Do you want an article off of someone else costume?
Ha - I think this implies desiring someone elses costume? But I laughed at Rydell's answer. I admire other's accessories, but rarely want an exact copy. I've never wanted a tail or ears though.

27. Ever had a run-in with security?
No. I'm a good girl

28. Do you bother with Faire-speak?
*bother*? I LOVE to use accent and syntax to play a more authentic historic character. But, maybe sometimes I am not as meticulous as I should be.

Hell no. see #27

ha - my pouch or basket of many wonders is always coming up with something amazing and unique. ask me for what you need, and I'll surprise you.

I've had green, pink and white chemises, and white partlets.
