^ I would eliminate meeting one specific person in my life :angry: < Working with scrap paper can be very drying to your hands! V What is your favorite creative media to work with?

Great News, Rats....

Interesting information found in Antonia Fraser's, "The Weaker Vessel" The book states that by Royal Warrant, issued on August 21, 1660, Englishwomen were permitted upon the stage for the first time. Yet, it wasn't until 1670s the word ‘actress’ had secured in England the ostentatious connotation which would linger for another 250 years! Yet, the first actresses often concealed their origins, while the honorific appellation “MRS” (pronounced Mistress) which they were granted – as opposed to the opprobrious “Miss”, which would make their material status hard to unravel. By 1680s the word actress was virtually synonymous with that of “Miss” or “Kept Woman” – at least in the public’s eye. So, the burden of proof otherwise fell upon the individual actress. As a result, the convenient identification of actress and/or Miss led to young ladies becoming actresses precisely in order to secure a rich admirer! Well then...Lilly would desire to be a MRS (Mistress) but due to her occupation...she'd would be considered a MISS.

Those who were Widowed were still addressed as MRS (Mistresss).

Well then...that does make quite the difference! As for meself, still not feeling like meself. Off to see a 'snap 'n crack' doctor this afternoon.

Alright then....I'll be right after ya Chrispy. It would be wonderful to be a card carrying member!

^ My inner-self... < Wider shoulders?! I've always wanted a small a**...working on this though. V Passing along the question.

???? Alright...you've got to explain yourself, Miss!

Someone should have pulled my pirate card lol. Pull your Pirate Card?? We get cards?! What the h*ll!?? Where and when were we issued these 'said cards?" Hmm..damn red tape...I bet mine somewhere between here and Key West!

Oh BBC...Those three magic Letters....or as I like to call it... THINKING TV! Let's face it...British humor isn't for everyone...but for those who understand and appreciate it...it's so very nice!

Here in the Midwest we have a 'retro' tv station. Nothing but shows from the 50s, 60s and 70s. There are a few that I escaped my memory were... Alias Smith and Jones and Laredo I do remember westerns, but not these.

Are we speaking in American or English Courts? If English...(UK)... Well, As the chief judges are also Law Lords (the Lords Temporal) the robes and wiggery is in-line with the other archaic dress, again much of it devised in the 18th century still used in the House of Lords. But up until the Reform (back in 2008, I think), the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales announced changes in court working dress for both the English and Welsh courts. The array of robes worn by High Court Judges will be abolished and replaced by a modernised and significantly simplified robe. The wearing of wigs in the civil and family courts will be completely abolished. High Court judges presiding over criminal trials in the Crown Court will appear in the robes they currently wear in the winter.

Oui, parle comme un vrai poète, Monsieur ... Pourtant, même l'amour peut être éphémère ... de la très pure de cœur à la grande bawd des marins, ils ont tous eu leur cœur brisé. Prenez soin de vous ... avec l'âge vient l'expérience ... et la connaissance vient avec l'expérience ... Prenez soin de vous ... la vie est impitoyable.

Congrats to the Blackbeard Crewe! She's coming along very nicely.

The quietness of the office when 4 pm rolls around. I'm the only when here...except for Boss Lady...

Any time, Brig. Oh, you may have enough for you and your sister ....that's if you plan to do the 'twin' thing again. Just let me know.

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.

I'm sure you're right and who knows, she may have been grabbed in the wrong way many times throughout her stay.... Its just that if I had a hat that was six feet wide, I wouldnt be annoyed when people bumped into it lol. With that being said, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. As as I stated before, if she couldn't take a single moment to listen to you and your kind words of apology...it's her lost...not yours.

Thequartermaster, Though I am sure Kate, Brig and/or Mae would be better to answer your belly dancer skirt question, let me just put in my two cents.... Keep in mind you were at a CON, which pretty much means pirate festivities and social drinking. Perhaps the woman wearing the Middle Eastern themed attire was greatly under the influence when this mishap occurred. I am sure if she just gave you 30 seconds of your time she would have accepted your apology. People get stupid ...especially when they drink.

Oderlesseye & Joe Pyrat nice work indeed. The very portrait of pyratical perfection!

Another great shot from the gang in Tombstone, NV. Just wish the photo was just a bit clearer.

Don't fret about it, Cheeky. I finished 3 degrees, and I still haven't 'been' anything. Thanks Hester...it's been a bone of contention for some time now. Nice to know that! > Right now...a lighter shade of auburn with honey colored high-lights. When summer comes around it usually goes to a darker shade of red. ^ I've always wondered what it would be like to be blonde? My sister has been...but I've never been brave enough. V What is your perfect size for lady's clothing...(Whew! Should really censor myself sometimes!
