I am so sorry to have missed your coming into port. Well now that you are here, I give you a hearty welcome and a good hug. Rumba Rue **Forget the yo ho ho, just gimme the bottle!**

Now I want to see a picture of you when you get the whole outfit together. I'll bet you might be able to take Ray the bartender down several notches. <too sexy for my hat, too sexy for my clothes> Rumba ** **

Sadly there be no getting away from the heat in the summer if you're going to wear any kind of frock coat. You're going to sweat. This is the USA, not cold lands across the sea. Most of the people I know, myself included tend to lean towards brocaded types of fabric, or cotton velvet. If you can put in a lightweight cotton lining it would help with the heat factor. Some people don't put any linings in their coats to keep it lightweight. However unless you are a well and knowledgeable maker of costumes and know the tricks of how to do seams, you end up with fraying, loose threads hanging out or seams that have been badly Sergered, all showing when you least expect it. I would never make a coat or bodice for someone without a lining. For someone who is paying serious dollars to have a coat made, unless otherwise specified by the buyer not to put a lining in, it's expected. Quality is far better than quantity. Rumba Rue ** **

LOL! What I'd like to say, I can't print... So I'll jest smile and say really cool. :) Rumba Rue ** **

Somehow the line, "Too sexy for my hat," comes to mind. Just yummy. Rumba Rue ** **

Ok, I've got another place you can get steel boning here it is: Dragonmarsh products Dragonmarsh also has a nifty variety of other goodies. I had heard from several people they had gone out of business. But thankfully I heard back from my looooong time friend they are still around. Rumba Rue ** **

I suspect you'll have to call them. Rumba

My absolute favorite game is Uno. Anyone care to come to my place for a rollicking good game? Rumba Rue

Here's where you can get steel boning (it's where I found it anyway). Boning At faires, they go by Lady and the Fool, Inc. Phone number - 310-877-243-5239 I'll check on another place I know of, but I think it went belly up. Rumba ** **

Congradulations on your long marriage! I'm afraid the longest for me was the last one, 10 years. I have no intention of getting married again, unless there's a lottery win in the household. Rumba ** **

Well the movie was ok, but the ship is a terrific sight to see! Docked down in San Diego, it's a magnificent replica of long ago. Rumba Rue ** **

As far as I know nothing is happening with the building. The same damn sign has been up for over a year now. Rumba Rue **You there go hoist something**

Funny, I've used the same lines when I've been out playing with the public! Ah great minds think alike! I've even gone so far (when really under the influence of drinking) as to carry a whip and wander through the faire yelling for victims. Rumba ** **

Within the last couple of years I've been seeing more and more people dressing in outfits other than the garb usually worn at faires. There are a couple who have gone to the Oriental look, with the peaked straw hats, the wooden shoes, kimonos, and the appropriete weaponry. I've also seen African, Indian, and lots of others represented. Most of the uninformed public, only usually think of the English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian as the people of the time. I think its wonderful to see such a great representation of other cultures at Ren-faires. So I say Phil, if you want to go the direction of the Asian look, go for it! I don't know if there are events like faires around, but hey, cruise the Internet, you'll never know what you'll find. And there certianly were Chinese pirates! Rumba ** **

Baawaaahhaaaaaaa! Yup, Mr. Smith never had it so funny! (she uses the Smith title over at CB) Rumba ** **
