LadyBarbossa

:) What Grey said. I do resale images or whatever that is stated as PotC. This guy crossed the line when he said it was official PotC props when they are not. Now... here's the kicker... he can get in trouble not ONLY from Disney & other studios... but from the people he bought it from I guess. :::Shakes head::: There is crazy... & then there is stupid. We are pirates... not fools. That eBay guy - I won't even go so far as to call him a gent since he is NOT a gentleman - has most obviously crossed the line of BOTH... a stupid fool!

Oh, what childhood teen memories are aroused because of that movie! "The Goonies" was shown last night here in CR at Bever Park outside on a large screen. Was fantastic! LOVE the Inferno! Fine ship. Hard to choose a favorite scene. Though love the scenes with the Inferno.

Ahhhh... Don Carnage! A sly fox he was! Aye, Hook & Smee... I was gonna say, I think I've heard let alone seen them on TV during parades, etc. :::Hands Barbarous a couple quill pens, inkwell & parchment paper:: I've plenty where that came from, Barbarous. For real. All you have to do is choose the color of ink: black, blood red, or Inca gold.

Oh, dear Lord! Guinevere, this is also on eBay! Even those I know who are in the Artillery units in the NWTA & else where would NOT buy such silliness! Cannon fork & knife indeed.. ::Sarcastic:: As to the hat... Cap'n Sparrow has emailed the brigand & also came to the conclussion that he's not tellin' the truth. Saying that the hat ONLY had a chalked in prop number. The Cap'n knows well that's not the case. Plus, as I have mentioned, any person with eyes can tell that is NOT one of the original hats. :: Turns to Barbarous; overly curious & intregued:: I find that a challenge, good sir. & I accept your challenge. Eventually.. someday you will see the fine attire. Or perhaps myself in a new outfit. Then wager on whether you are eager for a fine new outfit.

Actually, Christine ... I have considered it. I've been stocking up on costume patterns that have been on sale through JoAnn fabrics. So... maybe in the near future I will be open to make attire for my fellow pirates. Both men & women. I finishing up on a Jolly Roger for Barbossa II... as well as doing 2 gowns for myself, a white satin fancy pirate outfit.. then the outfit of Calico Cat from the card game Pirates of the Spanish Main. & on top of all this.. STILL working on the King's Colours for a new British Rev War regt out in NJ. I have to tell you... the Union Jack is a HUGE pain in the arse! So... Aye... I may not be a great seamstress.. but I can hold my own... I've had to to keep the bilge rats & sea dogs at bay from taking my attire! :::breathless; hand upon chest::: Flattery like that gets you everywhere, Barbarous! :::Bow deeply before Barbossa:: Such an honor it would be, too, Barbarous... to repair your signature hat.. or make you a new one. :) Perhaps a new outfit for the most feared pirate of the Spanish Main?

:angry: Your hat? Well... I suppose it be. Though... we can compare the finery of our hats. Hell... in comparison... & I admit... I may be bragging here... MY Barbossa like hat is better than that one from eBay! By a long shot with the long nines! :angry:

Ye be welcome, Wolfy. I've already bought 6 today(Thursday). Going back Friday & maybe Sat to get more. Majorly stocking up to make some kick arse pirate outfits... as well as Ladies' attire.

I've heard of some of the extra's in "The Patriot" grabbing some of the items there cause they could use them for the re-enactments. Some were sold as well. Not all the items were to standards with some units... but others would allow it. I know someone who bought Tavington's finale scene uniform. It was cool... but curious enough to know what she was going to do with it. Last I knew, she just.... had it. No practical use for it. Ooooh, how I would have LOVED to have the helmet! The rest of the uniform, I couldn't use. I guess.. for me.... if I buy a prop... #1, I would REALLY have to want it. #2, I would want to find a way to use it. I'd STILL love to get my hands upon a replica of Barbossa's/Dawg Brown's pistol. & Barbossa's ring. ::ponders:: though a carbine from PotC would be cool... as long as I would be able to use it. But if it's no better than the one Art, my commander has & more expensive.... Ummm, I will take Art's... cause I know it works.

Try McCall's pattern # 4091 This is a 2 type pattern, 1 of the styles is colonial... so, can pass off as a chemise/shift. Ruffles can be added or not. Check it out. I think it's worth it. Besides, this weekend McCall's & Butterick patterns are on sale for $.99! So.. time to shop some more fellow pirates! :)

Those 2 items - the drum & the tomahawk - are easy enough to get if you kow where to look for one. That type of tomahawk you can get from any where like Jas Townsend, Gg. Gedney Godwin, or any sutler at any re-enactment! The drum, they are a bit pricy but regt I know of get those IF they have a drummer. I've seen that with the British in the NWTA. :: shakes head:: This guy is REALLY pushing it... cause most of this stuff if not for resale in that type of way. Re-enactors are REALLY picky about what they get their hands upon cause of authenticity. Bess... give this bloody bastard a nasty dose of medicine!

ROTFLMAO!!! ::wipes tears away:: Ooooh, Redd! So right... SOOOO right! Again, have fun, Bess! I still thing sending some of us pirates up to this guy would be fun! Oooooh, what we could do with him... Kidnap him... blindfold him... take him to the Black Pearl & have him walk the plank over some shark infested waters near a god forsaken spit of land smaller than Bess's isle... & with NO pistol! :)

Capt' Jack Sparrow emailed the seller got a reply back that the hat porp # was chalked in, which told Jack that it wasn't the real prop. :::Sits down with popcorn & soda::: Oooooh, this is such a dramatic part! I'm going to love this! You know.. the difference between a good pirate & a bad one... the bad one is caught! This guy is SO busted like a captured pirate at execution dock!

OK... also rather curious... what did Johnny take from PotC? I kow he's taken some items from each film he's been in... like Sleepy Hollow for instance, he got that device that held that criminal guy during the beginning scene with Christopher Lee... kinda looks like a torture device, I think it's a restraining device... anyone know what I am talking about? That & Johnny supposedly bought the gray old horse, Gunpowder. Heaven forbit what Johnny got a hold of this time! Well.. besides keeping the gold teeth..

ROTFLMAO!! Ooooh, that is fantastic, Bess! Jerry B has the model of the BP in the back yard. I can just see it... kid next door.... "Daddy! DADDY! Mister B has a big black ship in his BACK YARD!" No one else wants your job, huh, Bess? Makes it all the easier for you... well, in 1 way I guess. 1 less stress with all that you have already. Ahhh.... so I heard that many items from the sets just... disappeared! :) LOL.. think they will need security at the sets? I know SEVERAL regts in His Majesty's service... close to the era.

Ocean front property in Arizona... Gonna throw in the Golden Gate for free?

:::Shakes head::: MY hat looks closer to Barbossa's hat than that one! Close, but no cigar. Aye, the hat belt & the buckle were not right... nor the pheasant feather, it's too new.. :::nods::: I didn't think it was the real thing whatsoever. Besides... doesn't the real Barbossa hat just cock up naturally? I know mine does & it stays there! MerryD could vouch for it, I'm sure. Too many feathers? Not even I have that many feathers. Yeah.. have fun there, Bess! LOL, I'd say have a LOT of pirate decend upon this person... Oooooh, how much FUN we could have! Perhaps have someone passing off as Barbossa searching for his hat?

True... true... we did discuss that. Hell... I wouldn't be there as a bodyguard.. would rather give the 2 Actor's characters hell! :: evil grinz:: My new outfit will be based off the outfit of Calico Cat (Cheesy name, I know) from the card game Pirates of the Spanish Main. & yes, I have tons of spare material I can still make some funky pirate outfits. just need to buy the buttons & trim, etc. Hmmm... ok, a few women pirates... giving the gents hell... Oooo, what an idea... eh, Siren? the piratess' like sirens? Ooooh, so many possibilities to future stories! Oh, how much fun we have, as you have been seeing, Siren. :) & Ooooooh, the idea of torturing the gents... ::: Evil grinz:: Well... here's to hoping the best for everyone. & hopefully... less troubles. Also, here's to hoping they pick the Royaliste... that is IF ya want it picked, Captain. I had that feeling for the past few months. Either the Royaliste or the Rose.. maybe the Bounty. Or bloody well some other ship. But I still think they should build a real version of the Black Pearl! Oh, would people pay up the wazzoo to have a ride on the infamous pirate ship! Geoffrey in more films? Bloody hell! Here's to hopin' he doesn't over do it.

I'm sure this has been said several or many times before... but Eisner has no Disney magic! Or the ability to see it. He hasn't seen the film yet?! What the bloody hell? ::Shakes head:: :) I've seen some recent merchandise lately, besides a couple more shirts, albeit only Jack & Will .... I saw the other day those, as well as Jack & Will stickers.... even my friend bought a throw/blanket. Again, Jack & Will. Obviously, what PotC is out there, we've noticed it sells like Ty Beanie Babies when they came out! I'm in a couple chat lists of costumers attempting to recreate the costumes. Mostly Jack... some Elizabeth & Barbossa. Even Simplicity ( as we've started to discuss elsewhere on the Pub) has a Sparrow-like pattern out. I've heard of quite a bit of people buying this pattern, granted they would loved to have had this last year. But still, there is still a popularity to PotC in some areas. Ooooh, where have their minds gone. LotR, Hellboy, Matrix, etc.... all of them have merchandise, LotR would be the only one that could compete well enough with PotC merchandise. I think the merchandise would work to get to youth & kids who have not seen the film, only cause some parents refuse to allow them to see it, thinking it's horrible... LOL, frankly I think that Harry Potter is scarey than PotC. Let's hope that Jerry B can make a big difference eventually. As well as the Writers, the Actors, etc.

Ye'll beat me to it, Charity. Feel free to mention it on the Lost Soul of Barbossa chat list. :) Aye... one of the Deleted Scenes on the DVD where Elizabeth & Norrington are talking just after she accepts his proposal after she asked Norrington to rescue Will as a wedding gift. When she & Norrington were talking, she called Norrington... James. As to Barbossa, aye, heard that on the comentary by Johnny about Jack teasing Barbossa about his first name being Hector. Actually, Hector is a fantastic first name being as it's Greek meaning "Hold fast". I think it's just absolutely befitting & perfect. As well as it reminds one of the great commander Prince Hector of Troy. Umm, no real reference to the recent movie. Well... luckily, we won't ask the full names of all the rest of the characters, Bess! Thank you so very much for all the info. "Monk"... odd? He acts like one of the family! Seriously! I swear my family could be the next "island" for Survivor!

Some fantastic backgrounds & personas there, mates. I've to admit... I haven't yet come up with something solid yet. I've several types of 'personas' for role playing games.

Cool to hear, Bess. I just get tired of all the rumors on the net.. :: grumbles:: ready to skewer them. Anyway... I hope they get who they want back. Would be cool to see Lee & Mackenzie back. Those 2 were just a riot! & of course, Love Murtog & Mullroy! Groves.. Gillette.... There are some of Barbossa's crew that were great. If Lee returns, have him do the diary again! That was great! & maybe Kiera... Orlando or Johnny... I think Johnny liked the cam last time! LOL... Anyway... thanx for the info, Bess. Such a trooper- err, pirate. Though, if by some act of God or Congress that there be possibilities... just being in the movie would be awesome. I know, silly me. Though, I was bound & determined to be in the local play of Treasure Island... but, I couldn't cause of a major accident at work I couldn't walk & was in some major pain through all of Dec So, I missed TI auditions. But I was able to see the show cause of a friend was in it. She knew how much I wanted to be in it. Gracious lady for the complimentary tickets. So.. where I am getting with this? Well, again, if by some act of God, if there be some possibility, I prayed I could be in the sequel since I couldn't with TI from the accident. ::le sigh:: again, one can only hope, wish & pray... & knock on the wood of the Black Pearl. Though... surprise me! I was really surprised with tCotBP... so, can't wait for the sequels.

Oooh, I plan to return to JoAnn fabrics to get more of the pattern & other patterns! Mostly to make new pirate outfits for myself as well as a couple more types of outfits. But I want to get a couple more so I can make outfits for people as well. Granted I am an ameteur, but I've had people eye my black clad outfit so much I'll soon be willing to make attire for people. I was thinking about making the pirate outfits for men & women as well as wenches, even a meso-American/Native attire. I look forward to the Sparrow like pattern, making another outfit. I'll probably use the pattern to make the white pirate look. & I SOOOO love the pattern for the drop front breeches! ::Cheers; Snoopy dances:::

Not sure, Wolfy. I haven't tried out all the patterns.... yet. Yeah, the contest looks like it will be fun. Doesn't look like they ask for much, really. It looks worth it. I've got to do something about my Pantaloons for my black clad pirate outfit since the pant- breeches ripped ... & it's not along a seem either. I will have to make another pair it seems. I hear ya there, Akasha. They don't plan on re-enactors which is a HUGE group. Lots of Ren Faire attire, but VERY little when it comes to Colonial, Civ War or other time periods unless you know specific money consuming sutlers. Granted they are coming out with more & more patterns, but the Colonial era still lacks greatly with fine attire patterns. Hehehehe.... well, Will... I'll keep it in mind. Any type of material you have in mind or a specific look you have in mind?

Looks fun nonetheless. Lucky you got ahold of it, John! It's already sold out here in lil' ol' Cedar Rapids aka podunk central... Won't be able to get any more in until September! Though, may look like a couple friends & I are going to have a little gaming going on. I will SOOOO enjoy this. This pirate against a couple wannabes. ::: evil grinz::

You have to admit, for a mainstream pattern, it's the best one yet. Though, still not a great as the ones from the sutlers. But rather close. Very close. I hear ya, girl! I'll be going for it. Only my pirate outfit at the moment, since I used a Simplicity pattern for it. The other outfits I used Butterick. Albeit, each one was altered. The contest looks like fun though. William, if by God's good graces, maybe I might make ya a wicked outfit to your pirate heart's content.
