Cheeky Actress

Ha...ha..Ha!

Thank you Muther...

Mother Rose, Have you found any evidence on combinding cane and bone (whale) together in one corset. Any chance would/could it have been for the late 17/early 18th century?

Clapping her hands with joy.

Pictures please Mistress Alexandra!

"What the Fah...!?!"

Lady Constance, Could you post a photo of this? I am curious about the way the back looks. So, please correct me if I am wrong. You only have one main pleat (this double-box pleat?) on your Mantua's back?

Many Happy Returns of the Day, Lady Brower. I do hope you have a splendid day.

(Sigh)..."Everyone ignore the old crone please. Here is the Mantua in which Mother Rose is commenting on... Gee, I think the "RFV Committee Tag" really makes the outfit, don't you?

A damn fyne job, indeed! She looked stunning in them and her pretty blue Mantua, too! I do have pictures of her sitting quite poised at Tyburn Tavern looking like she was plucked from an oil painting. Mister O’Keefe…ye are a lucky man to have such a pretty and talented woman! Oh and side note, Lilly…next year we’ll mambo at the dance….you lead.

Thanks... I'll remember that when she's beating you about the ears!

It's probably a good thing, Animal...it could get extremely warm in both the climate and in tempers!

Nothing like being an idiot all in the name of fun. Here's meself and Matty Bottles doing a bit of Bull Fighting…just like the ones our good Captain said he saw in Barcelona!

Here's Kate...proudly showing us her monkey.........Lob.

Wow! Great shots there Kate. Looks like you captured some great moments. Sharing these really makes me feel bad for not being able to hang with you guys 110 percent of the time. Just one of the down sides on working at this event. But as long as you guys had fun...and the pictures show it...I am happy. I am trying to do Photobucket meself. (Shakes fists into air showing frustration)...I feel your pain. I could only down load 23 thus far...but I am working on it! When I get the whole thing up and running, I will let you know.

Dear Mickey. I am so happy that you and Kate could make it out to Chicago this year. I do hope that you two had fun and we always enjoy seeing you two. Yes, there will be MORE photos to post...that's for sure. I have over 400 of them and I am trying to sort through them and clean them up a bit before I post them on my Photobucket account. With that being said...I need to soak my feet (dang...another "MY FEET" event) and relax and spend some time with my husband tonight. I hope you all have a great time of it...will post the photos or the link in a few days!

Where can we get (let alone afford) German "plastic whalebone"?

Mother Rose, I have a question about the assembly of the stays; as in the method you found regarding inserting cane and such. thank you.

With an inequitable look, Lilly made her opionon known...."Hey, I'm standing right here!"

Lilly approaches Mickey and smiles gleefully. "Dear Michael…we here upon the Pub cannot let the day go by without giving you something...well, something that speaks volumes about you, your wonderful abilities and what we've come to expect from you at each pirate event. She then gives the command… “WOOOF!!!” Lilly coughs and waves to clear the air..."Happy Birthday, Mickey...!!!!

I have to get over there and see this!?

Lilly looks over at Mother Rose...and impishly sticks her tongue out at her..."So there...You see...my Johnny finds favor with his Father. No need to fret, dear mother...you HAVE taught me well.

Well then...we'll have to have Maddogge put on his kilt and do a cheer for ye!

Monsieur Souris! A very happy Naturalist Day to you! A drink to you at RF5!
