LadyBarbossa

ROTFLMAO! Ahhh.. yes.. the Navy Grog in the ceramic Tiki glasses with the little paper drink umbrellas! Yes... I still have 2 of those umbrellas! Morgan... I'm with ya there... if I were able to go. If not there physically, I'll definitely be there spiritually. :: evil grinz:: Paisley... all.. I expect TONS of pictures! :) & give 'em all hell in my stead! :: evil grinz:: Huzzah! Anastazia

:) Amen to the hair, Elaina! A pain, isn't it? Worse when it decides it doesn't want to do anything! I use quite a bit of hair pins & Paul Mitchell Freeze & shine hair spritz. Works everytime. Aye, Maggie would love to see pix! & yes, ... I've been keeping my eyes out for the material as well. I found it, however, the only thing it didn't have was the 'border' trim design.. so... that kinda made it not really the exact material. I think they may have made the material special for the movie. Oh! For the nightgown & robe... I know simplicity has a pattern that is Late Victoria/Early Edwardian vintage .. it's rather close to the Elizabeth night gown & robe.. just needs a tad bit of altering.. easy enough. I've bought the pattern myself... just not gotten around to buying any material yet... still debating on material since I wanted to go more by the pattern & make my own gown & robe. Something more comfy for the re-enactments. Elizabeth's gown she wore at the end of the movie would be easy enough to do as well. Been pondering doing that type of dress. Ooooo.. this is fun! Gown ideas! The other hard part, as I've discussed with a couple people.. is the hats & shoes! Going to make a hat for the gown, Elaina? Huzzah! Anastazia

I'm with Billy Bones there, Elaina. Rather charming! It has it's own twist to it. Your own signature. Something that Elizabeth herself would adore. :)

Hope to see you there, Cascabel! I admit.. this would be my first Ren Faire... at all! I went to one that was breaking camp, so.... I really don't count that one. As with all events, I'm nervous & excited. Very cool of the Malfoy pix. I'm not a Harry Potter fan.. but dear God do I LOVE Jason Isaacs! He's so sweet... Huzzah! Anastazia

Any takers out there willing to make firing & non-firing replicas of Barbossa's pistol? As I said, I know a good amount of people wanting this pistol. Huzzah! Anastazia

Hmmmm.. now I am REALLY wishing I lived down there. Between Jack & Barbossa down there... as well as a fantastic crew of others... Cascabel! I do hope you'll be frequenting GARF. I plan to go there in May (weekend of the 8th & 9th) to see a few other pirates. Tis a pity it's a month from now... Plenty of pictures, all. Would love to see them. & hopefully, see a large crew of pirates. I'll see if I can spread the word. Huzzah! Anastazia

Aye, Paisley... you are making it rather difficult for me to just commandeer a vehicle & make way out that direction. I've got 2 new pirate flags... including one with crimson red dots in the eyes. Rather wicked. Again... alas.. I won't be able t' make it. Again... tell your captain... if next I be down that direction, he can "deal" with me. So .... in the meantime... party double time in my stead! Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia aka THE Lady Barbossa (The one & only!)

Ahhh.. the memories. I remember watching that 'round about when it came out on VHS. 'Round about the time I saw "the Goonies" as well. I enjoyed "Captain Ron". Barely remember it, but I remember I enjoyed it. Huzzah! Anastazia

Alas... won't be there. My dad will be visiting me from Arizona at that time. Such a bummer. Otherwise, if he wasn't.. I'd swing over for the event after GARF! So.. have double the fun, ladies & gents! The camping would have been TONS of fun! I've me own Rev War tent & enjoy that lots when at re-enactments. :) Huzzah! Anastazia aka Lady B aka Bloody Esmerelda aka Black Constance yadda, yadda, yadda... etc... You know who I am.

Sail in with the Black Pearl... bombard the bejesus out of them. I say do the same thing to Eisner as Barbossa did to Bootstrap Bill! Tie him to a cannon & send him to the crushing black oblivion! AARRRR!!! Anastazia

::: evil grinz:: Morgan needs to be taught a lesson, eh? Ya know, Morgan.. that left m' thoughts in such a wicked mindset. We'll just have to "properly" discipline him. :: another evil grinz::

Surprises me not. I wonder why? :: innocent look with halo above head::

They are right nice, those cursed gold coins. I just want to take :: hand grab motion:: them all! :: Evil grinz As for the design on the back... it's a similar design on my knife/dagger I have which is from Mexico from an area known as Oaxaca. I'm still trying to find out info on this, it was part of the Aztec empire, the southern territory. Again, I am also trying to find out info on what the design means. It's not as easy as it seems either. The gold could be similiar to the reference like what happened to the Inca king... the Incas brought gold in from the various areas of the empire as ransom to release their King. But Pizzarro paniced, thinking this was a diversion for the Incas to build a mighty army.. kill the king & took off with the gold... despite it's unknown what happened to the gold, after it's more than likely they melted it all down.

What FUN, Maggie! Thanx for the link! I typed in my ful name (first, middle & last) got "Bloody Esmerelda". Then typed in just my first & last name, got "Black Constance". ::amused rolling & pondering eyes:: I'll just add them to my list of nicknames now. I like them both. ::: evil grinz::: Huzzah!

Born in Iowa City... raised in Wayland, Iowa... Had the luck to live nearly a year in Little Rock, Arkansas for a spell... Currently living in Marion, Iowa ((::groans::)), a part of the great Cedar Rapids area. ((::Again, groans::))

Again... a a very MERRY birthday! Me thinks... :: a pondering amusing look:: that I need to kidnap ya for a couple hours... You & I should go celebrate your Bday! I'm sure we can do quite a bit of ... damage. :: Evil grinz:: ::waves magic sword; several Cabana Boys appear;:: there ya be... boys at yer disposal to do with as ya please. :) 3 cheers for Merry! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Maggie! Hope it's been a fantastic day for ya. May all your pirate dreams come true! :) Anastazia

I was beyond excited when I heard Barbossa was part of the release. Bravo to who decided that. I could kiss them... but that is reserved for Barbossa.. As to the TV Show... :: shrugs:: guess we will see. I guess... if it will be animated, I would like to see it look better. I've not been impressed with the animations lately. The old ones like Snow White, Fox & the Hound, Peter Pan... that was good animation. Less Japanimation likeness, & more proper American. I thought that the animation in "Return to Neverland" was a bit... degrading compared to "Peter Pan". Live action... would be interesting enough. I'm sure there are a few gents out there who could very well pass off as a Johnny Depp carbon copy of Jack Sparrow. I know there is a young man up here in Cedar Rapids that works at a local theater... a DEAD ON to Orlando Bloom as Will Turner! No joke! I've done many a double take & still swear it's Orlando! Everyone I know has seen this young man & it's WAY too uncanny! Plus... if it be a mini-series type thing like "Return to Treasure Island" which I enjoyed greatly... that would be cool! I'm sure there are MANY stories that can be told. Just as long as they don't.. botch it up. Can wait for the toys!!!! I am SOOOO looking forward to them. & Yes, especially Barbossa. ::innocent look with halo above head::

Despite how annoying this is, Bess.. you have to admit.. thisis rather amusing. Either that or you can pull off a Barbossa... eye roll, pull out the pistol, cock the hammer, aim & fire at the poor bastard(s) that annoy ya. ::evil grinz:: If not act like you put a pistol to your head. Did that on Halloween night.. talk about bringing down the house! I wasn't sure if everyone would stop laughing! I just did it absently. It melted the tension away & eased everyone's nerves. :) Of course, it worked well cause I had a cheap prop pistol & dressed as a pirate. Was great. cause after I 'shot' myself.. my co-worker dressed as a Nun kinda 'blessed' me into the grave. Well... I trust ya there, Bess. Just hope the writers are doing good, & no so seriously stressed over this... maybe they need a trip to the Caribbean to help ease the stress. I'd say help... but may kill their minds & defeat the sequel since there are TONS of story ideas out there. Heaven forbid with some of them :: wince:: Toss them a rum for me. Ooooh.. & ..:: goes back to look..:: eventhough a monkey was involved... at least it wasn't everybody AND their dog! Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia ~Master & Commander of the Resurrection

:: nods:: McFarlane would be my first choice... but, agreed, they probably would use them. But still one can only hope. I was SOOO pleased with the Sleepy Hollow figurines. The likeness of Depp as Ichabod is just amazing! To see them do PotC, with skeletal versions & normal versions of Jack & Barbossa.. would be SOOOO awesome! As to a TV series... the more I ponder it... the more I think it would hurt PotC movies. Perhaps they should hold off until after the movies. If an animated series... I bet they will only air it on the Disney channel. Huzzah! Anastazia

You can count on it, Maggie. :) Anastazia

A TV SERIES!?!?!?!!! SWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETT!!! Actually, I hope it's live action. That would be awesome. I really think that PotC will become the next major cult. I see it everywhere, kids loving the pirates, they recognise it, anything that is close to PotC, kids & adult just immediately point it out & I see a glow on their face! I hear ya there, Wolfy! Anything of PotC would be SOOO awesome! Ask & ye shall receive! Now... all we need is to get a PotC Convention going. PLENTY of people telling me that thus far. Haven't had much luck will taking to someone in the legal dept of Disney concerning that. Anyone think of ideas that you would like to see? We ask for the swag, perhaps it will eventually come out. wait.. if they put out a TV Series between the movies.. wouldn't that kinda defeat the joy of the movies? :::Shakes head::: I think some of us fans should do fan films. Star Wars fans do it, plus I have heard of several people demanding them. I'm not joking all, I've had people tell me to get a convention going... fan films.. etc. Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia ~Master & Commander of the Resurrection

Is it true? I've heard from 2 people already that this fall there will be Jack, Will & Barbossa toys available this fall. As well as cursed gold coins/medallions. Will there be more? Want more! Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia ~Master & Commander of the Resurrection

How's about we do something like that when I am in the area as well? I know those of you in the Chicagoland area can just get together whenever. But.. would be fun to hang with you all... I'll be in costume for sure when I am around the area for a re-enactment. I still have yet to figure out which places I will attending. I'll probably stay around Chicago this year. We'll see. What say you? Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia ~Master & Commander of the Resurrection

I wish ya luck, mate. Rather difficult at times for a pirate to have right fine attire made for you. That's as mentioned by others, that they search 2nd hand shops or the sort for something to tide over until one can have themselves a fancy outfit. Again, I wish ya luck. Happy hunting, lad. Huzzah!
