Why does everybody think I am a nutcase?
Ranting and Rambling
Yet another fun evening at the Vagabond this weekend: First, cool costuming experience. I had gained a few pounds (see the previous entry for one of the contributing factors ...), and I decided to try out my recently acquired belly net. At first, it felt odd, but by combining it with a crochet scarf as shoulder cover, all of a sudden, I had fashioned a cool, very flattering dress out of my existing costume collection. I need to get more of those belly covers, I want to cover one with sparklie...

Vincent is off to FLAIRS (Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Symposium - a series of mini conferences, obviously in Florida), I decided to stay at home - it is the most delightful weather of the year in the Burgh, and rain in Florida. The cat and I enjoy the deck - I am watching my Odd Couple DVDs (I have a very unhealthy obsession with sitcoms featuring pompous characters), while I am enjoying margaritas, she watches the bird feeder. I don't have to cook, I can dip my finger in mayonna...

Saturday, I had an urge for pierogies, and went to the Strip. Unfortunately, the church on Smallman didn't have pierogi day :-( They have awesome pierogies, but I think they are doing that every two weeks only. I still enjoyed the farmer's market and of course the hustle and bustle.

I stopped at a vendor who makes and sells coin jewelry. In one of my brighter moments, I asked her for double-drilled copper coins for my coin costume, and next week, I will get them! I am psyched, I get somet... read more
Last weekend, I went to D.C. for the Herdeljezi festival, which celebrates St. George, the patron saint of the Roma (and, equestrians). I stayed with a mighty fun and cool dancer, who had generously offered me shelter, even though we had only met very briefly. As it turns out, she is a very interesting and smart lady, who shares a lot of interests with me - e.g., she had one of the cookbooks I had been interested in for years on her counter! We talked and had wine and looked at her costumes a...

I am not a movie goer, instead, I love my sitcoms. But, just saw the most awesome movie commerical on TV: Julie and Julia, after the not-so-hot book with the same name. I squeaked out loud in delight when I saw Meryl Streep doing a delightfully over-the-top Julia Child - OMG! It was incredibly funny, I can not wait for this movie, that is so awesome. Weeee!!!! Vincent suggested - Jack Nicholson as Jacques Pepin.

Re: dancerfolk who have gone to Pennsic -- what did you make/wear?
(in Tribal Costuming)
Well, chances are that one will not get kicked out of Pennsic if one wears very obviously non-period garb ;-) But, at the same time, people will notice. Do not assume just because there are many dancers in tribal gear, that that is an accepted out...

Re: dancerfolk who have gone to Pennsic -- what did you make/wear?
(in Tribal Costuming)
First, even though Zafira are seasoned Pennsic veterans, incredible dancers with a terrific sense of style, and most importantly, wonderful women,it may not be the best idea to use their stage costumes as examples for what to wear at Pennsic. Inst...

Re: Acceptable documentation for Turkish and Roma?
(in SCA Middle Eastern Dance)
Now, one thing to take into account - Turkish style bellydance as it is taught today is a relatively recent development. If you check Artemis' website for her articles, and Kristina Melike's excellent write-up on the history of Turkish dance (both...
