Brig

You guys look great! I loooove that coat, Ransom.

Happy happy birthday Mr. Dogge!!

Not a steampunk band, but check out the airships in this video! And...I apologize if I've already posted this somewhere. My brainz has holes in it.

Sent my cards out Friday. I forgot that I'd be out of town until May 14, so I had to hurry and get them finished. I included a SASE, but I'm not sure the post mistress understood what I wanted with the postage. Let me know if it's not enough to cover the return cards and I'll make up the difference.

Barring any unforseen catastrophes, my cards should go out tomorrow.

Edit: PM me your address when you get a chance, Mickey or Kate? Might help them get there a little faster.

*Adds "Hide at the gate and giggle at M.A.d'Dogge" to her list*

I'll be praying, hugs to ya lady.

Tell her to get over it, and get over herself while she's at it. I snag on EVERYTHING when I wear coin scarves. In fact, when me and Mae wear 'em at the same time, we may as well be siamese twins.

I think it was one of the little hooks or whatever attaches the coin to the netting that did the catching.

I'm betting you're exactly right. Those are what give me trouble, and often leave part of the costume firmly attached to ANOTHER part of the costume...quite the dilemma mid-routine. If the coins are sewn directly to the cloth it's not so bad, but it can still happen.

Like Cheeky said...her loss, not yours. :) If it happens again, let us know...I've had practice putting them diva sorts back into their right mind.

I know, I know...but it made me laugh. And if Johnny Depp dressed as a pirate ain't motivational, I dunno what is.

Wahoo! Just saw this posting.

Now that looks like a Ton O' Fun! If you are looking for some Black PVC material Brig....let me know. I have about 6 to 8 yards (60") of it just sitting around the back of my reenactment closet. Besides...my days of wearing Black PVC are over. Might was well put it to some good use.

Woo, thanks Cheeky! I'll let you know once I'm a little further into the design mechanics.

I'd be more than happy to do my part on the mailing costs, whatever is decided :)

Count me in!

Sorry Brig...but I cannot see the photo that you posted. What is of?

Strange...it is a lolrabbit announcing that it has evil plans. Can anyone else not see it?

Yay Chrispy! Happy happy birthday to you!

I gotta ask, what is it with bellydancing and SP. It seems like bellydancers are flocking to SP, is it the leather and brass?

I can't speak for everyone...for Mae and I, it was "Oh sh*t this performance is in a few weeks and we don't have costumes!" We both had steampunk costumes in the works, so we used the pieces and design ideas we already had and assembled the rest around them.

Overall, I'm not sure about the connection. Other than that the mini-vests make great dance tops. Some of the tribal belly dance waves are using more and more of the calliope-style music, which fits well with some interpretations of steampunk- Abney Park's "Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll", for instance. Perhaps there's a connection there too.

And...yeah. What Story said.

Just my two cents!

Aww, look at its little toes! Cute.

It always makes me growl when I try to pull the foil seal off of a bottle or something, only to have the pull-tab tear off in my fingers while the seal stays firmly in place.

Gonna try to make this my Halloween costume this year. I loves me some HQ, and this incarnation looked a bit steamy.

Happy happy birthday to you, Mr. Merriweather!

Sorry for taking so long! Happy, happy birthday, Grace!!

You'll be the salaciousest crumb that ever crumbed, Cousin Robbie!!

So......who are we gonna get to be the salacious crumb?

I vote for Cousin Robbie. Something about the stance.

Hugs and congratulations to you both!!

OMW... this morning Phlegm said to tell you that Oola was the name of the Twi' Lek that danced for Jabba the Hut and was fed to the Rancor in The Return of the Jedi ...

He just wanted you to know...

Yes, I did know that much. That is why Brig as Oola and Mae as Leia Slave would go together. (Brig, if you didn't have blonde hair, you could be Leia, but alas...)

Although Oola was already digesting when Leia was essentially picked to take her place. Still, Star Wars fans everywhere would love it. If you put it on You Tube, imagine all the joy you would bring to the guys who live in their parent's basements the world over.

Wait, what? I'm rancor bait now??! Fine, but to keep things even, Mae has to be tied to Jabba for at least a week!

CONGRATULATIONS! You guys look great!

Thank you, hunni!
