LadyBarbossa

Hmm.... very interesting.

I know I would LOVE to have a replica of Barbossa's pistol. That's for sure. The sword maybe.. but not necessary, although it is quite nice.

I know other people, besides myself who would LOVE to have Barbossa's pistol.. more a replica of the pistol.

Now.. if we can only find someone willing to do Barbossa's ring!

Thank you very much for the insight, mates. Oooh, I'm sure this will also come in handy for someone who will be dressing up as Barbossa & the costume I have seen via pix online.. DEAD ON! No kidding.. the person who made a replica costume did one hell of a job! exact material as well which I was highly impressed.

Huzzah!

Aye, Cap'n Grey! Saw this on the forum of www.captnjacksparrow.com ... another young missy had bought a few & will give us a 'review' as to how good they are. But by the looks of the pix there.. they be fine & dandy. I'm more than tempted to buy a few, knowing a few peeps besides meself who want those bits o' shine.

My other search, besides the coins.... which now I whimper at the thought... was Barbossa's ring! DANG! It's final closing bid was WELL over $3,000!!!

I'm hoping someone will make replicas. Cause not only myself, but many others would LOVE to have that ring. It's still a debate with several peeps if that is a tiger's head or lion's head. It's been stated as both. I keep hoping it's a tiger's head, since I LOVE tigers.

The other.. is Barbossa's pistol. Again, besides myself, I know a couple other people wanting that pistol. Well, a replica would work. I've been searching for a gunsmith who may be able to make a replica of the pistol only to turn up empty at the moment.

Anyone have any suggestions.. ideas... etc?

Huzzah!

I be with ye, Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts... I'm lookin' at doin' as much as humanly possible to work of me fine outfit,... bought some makeup with stuff t' make yer face look like it's peeling, .. some latex, etc... try to be like the cursed undead from PotC. I highly doubt there will be many from around here that will dress up as such. Despite the box office hit that PotC was.

I was looking at being a pirate anyway, if I didn't have my dragoon uniform by this time. Which I don't yet. :: le sigh::

All I know, is I've heard from friends that a couple people have dressed as Jack Sparrow (only Jack Sparrow) at some conventions. Including a PotC party this coming Thursday night at some convention in St. Louis. My friend has promised pix. So.. we shall see how good these young cub will be.

I look forward to seeing pix of pirate costumes ... somewhere.

"Take watcha can! Give nothin' back!"

Huzzah!

I'm curious.... will there be any more pirate gatherings this year besides Avoca in Iowa?

If unable to do anything this year, perhaps next year I will get more involved.

Huzzah!

"Take watcha can! Give nothin' back!"

Alvilda... I know what yer meanin' with the attire. I'd allow ye to use mine... if that was possible. Doubt I will be there, though.

Maybe next year I will be there as well. Different attire than what I use for the Rev War. Too fine & dandy Gentry for that. I'm actually working on a Barbossa like outfit. I just finished the hat (the easy part), now it's the outfit such as the coat, waistcoat, shirt (which is my next project as is needed for my Rev War), breeches or the sort... & the boots! yyeeeessssss... the Jack Sparrow type boots.. but black!

Hopin' to met up with ya next year.

Huzzah!

:: tries to recall:: I think I was truly dazed that day.

Anyway... Nishna... unfortunately does not ring a bell. The one in the Amanas always does since it's talked about every so often here.

Where is the Nishna one held at? What part of the State? If I may be so bold to ask.

I'd LOVE to join ye with all the fun. Depends on what weekend I suppose, whether I have plans or not that weekend.

If not, perhaps next year somewhere or another time sooner than that.

My fear about such faires is not being proper enough, since I am more an 18th century type.. since that's the majority of what attire I have currently.

Keep in touch! Loving the idea of becoming a pirate. Goes well with also my being a dragoon!

Huzzah!

Rosalinda... I would think your friends have more issues than you. Piracy is history. Now, if they themselves get way in over their heads about other things or don't do anything at all.. THEY are the ones who need rehab.. if not return to school! It's those interested in history that get he most satisfaction in life.. let alone the best rewards.

LOL.. Cap'n Flint! I've been ponderin' whether to re-read Treasure Island. Need to get another book. Lost my others sometime back.

I did recently rent "Treasure Island" with Charlton Heston in it. I think that's the closest to the book as it can get.

I may as well buy meself a book of Treasure Island. Add it to my collection of classics like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

As to Rev War... :: whimpers:: LOVE reading those books. I'm not sure if I heard of that Rev War book.

Right now.. I am just reading up on as many Pirate historical books as possible. Refresh my memory about pirates, ships & more.

Huzzah!

OY! :: whimpers:: such a pity! I jumped in here a tad late. Maybe.

Well, seeing as I have to work on Monday, having been out of town already on Saturday & Sunday (Old Threshers in Mt. Pleasant)... maybe I will be able to show up Monday evening? I'll try to search for y'all.

I'd like to join up with those around here. Need more non-Civ War stuff around here. Which, I pray constantly that it be possible in the future to have an 18th century re-enactment of sorts here. Wishful dreaming at the moment, but very fun nonetheless.

Well.. I will search for ye pirates if I make it in time to the Amanas for the Ren fest there.

If not, then perhaps... another time.

Huzzah!

Hmm.. I'll toss in my Pieces of Eight in this.

I haven't had much thought about a pirate movie. I think that PotC was pretty much it. The music is fantastic! I constantly listen to the soundtrack. Pissy german music is what a friend of mine calls it. :)

Treasure Island with Charlton Heston was rather well done. The music was ok.

I'm hoping that if they do do more PotC, that they expand a bit more with pirate legends.

I know a few peeps that still pray that a Goonies 2 will be done. Not sure about that one though.

I guess PotC would have been my perfect pirate movie... & it currently is. :) Glad they did it. I LOVE the 18th Century! I especially LOVED seeing a ton of men in breeches! Has a major affect upon us women.

Huzzah!

LOL.. oy!

I never got into the Survivor thing. But... I think it would be a tad fun.

But, God help us as to how many of them try to be like Jack Sparrow!

Huzzah!
