Have glue gun will travel an' if that don't work, then it's the handy-dandy superglue, an' if that don't work, it's Fabric Tacky stuff. An, if that don't work sew it as a last resort.
Depending on the thickness of the trim and hat, sewing may not be applicable.
I've hot glued most of the trims on my hats, works great.
An' if none o' the above works fer ye, then jest stomp on the dang thing, cuss a lot (be sure an' use them pirate cussing words), an' give it up as a lost cause.

Thanks for the pictures (too bad some are dark), I'm hoping to see more!
I know that a few PRP'rs went, they are probably hanging around Jamaica Rose/Capt. McLeod at the NQG table wherever it is.

The sooner you buy your tickets BEFORE Dec. 17th, you'll be guranteed tickets. Any time after that, they may be gone, as apparently there's only a certian amount available.

Here's the best deal ever to the Southern Calif. Renaissance Pleasure Faire (the one that started it all).
Not that I normally go to this one, but since the tickets are so cheap, I already purchased two.

Too much money to make the boat seaworthy.
HOWEVER, there are those out there who do like to restore stuff. Just look at all the people who have purchased falling apart homes to restore (Hey I watch the Home and Garden channel a lot) and put far more money into restoring than what the home was worth when bought.
So there may be someone out there willing to take on such a project as restoring the boat, but it's not me!
What BOAT really stands for: Back Out Another Thousand :)

Had to get into this conversation here.
I bought a book when I was in Canada, "Pirates and Outlaws of Canada-1610- to 1932", by Harold Horwood and Ed Butts. It's a new book just out last year, I'll be doing a review of it for NQG in the future.
Anyway, on page 97, there is an old drawing of a ship that was processing cod, and the caption underneath states:
In case they were killed, sailors wore a gold earring to pay their debts and funeral costs.
Now I'm sure not every sailor could wear an earring at all, but I think those that did, were making a decent living on the high seas, whether it be in piracy or general seamen. It would also depend on the country in which the person came from that might dictate if an earring was worn or not.

Sorry lasses. Physical assets don't attract me. For me, it's the way a woman carries herself in public, the way she commands attention in a room without being bawdy, whorey or overpowering. She doesn't even need to utter a word to get noticed and she knows it. It's that touch of class and the joy of being a woman combined with enough confidence not to have to flaunt her presence that will get my attention. After that, it's the eyes - I want to see into their soul so I know what they're made of, and then it's intellect and sense of humor. Doesn't matter the size... just these attributes which defy type, age, stature or scale. Unfortunately, I haven't come across too many lasses that can pull that off. They're a prized rarity.
As for hair color, however, brown only. Few sport true red hair so that's out and blondes just don't gain my attention in a room. And again, there's more bottle blondes than authentic ones, so we're back to brown or black again.
Well Hurricane, I am one of those women who can walk through a crowd and not say a word, but get the eyes of approval from the men and yes some women too. I am confident in myself, and I don't feel I have to push my boobs out to outer space to get noticed. I'm not skinny either, but I carry my weight well and besides in costume, no one can really see what's underneath anyway (Thank goodness for long full skirts!).
Aye, my hair is long and getting longer, I won't cut it. But alas I do lighten it - though I have baby pictures to prove I was born blond and stayed that way well into my teens. Technically I have what is called 'dishwater blond' hair - blond/brown yuck, which is why I lighten it, it also looks better on me.
So there you have it, from one whose sense of humor as most of you have seen on these boards from time to time, is funny, wierd, downright strange to rib tickling guffawing, that's the true me. Though I'm not much of a talker in real life, my writing does my talking for me.

Well considerin' I have a REAL parrot (Senegal), I don't need a fake one.
There's quite a few o' us here with real parrots.

I might add here, the supposed dress that Elizabeth wore and the slippers that were selling on EBay, were also incorrect and fakes.
Take a very good look at the dress in photos from the movie or just watch the movie, you'll see the difference.
BUYER BEWARE!!!

It's the hero version. Here be the pic:
It's pre-order now with an estimated shipping in January. I've seen dealers taking pre-orders for as low as $11 on e-Bay.
And I do have to say that, except for the lightsabers, Master Replicas is usually very accurate.
I have that coin, but witht the skull on both sides.
For those who might want to know, when I was at the Disney Studios back in May and saw the real coin, I can tell you it is very thin, much like a real coin. Also, it was a bit of a dark brass as opposed to bright and shiny like the ones in the treasure chest in the movie, and nothing on the back.
There are actually three different coins used. There's the one as I just mentioned, there's a double-sided skull one, and the one with the Aztec stuff on the back.
BTW- Capt. Grey, if ye have any more o' those coins left, let me know, I'd like to get another one.

Whoa! Ok kids, listen up.
The Casting companies will ONLY call for open casting in the EXTRA departments, nothing more. Regular parts are already assigned by the time the rest of the background Extras are added in.
Unless you are SAG, have lots and lots of head/body pictures, a web site, have a promoter, and you have the 'look', done lots o' stuff for the viewing audiances, forget it.
The few Casting companies I signed up with when I was still living in L.A. were only Extra work. Unfortunately, at the time I didn't even have the 'look' they wanted. So my try at being even an Extra went down the tubes.
Iron Bess can correct me if I'm wrong. But I can tell you, she knows her business well.
Pass the popcorn.

I have to admit, when I use to work the Southern Renaissance Pleasure Faire (the one that started it all) here in Calif., many years ago, I mostly did it for the partying afterwards, but then I was much younger too.
But things have changed a lot since those early days of Agoura and the young people now are far more of a major problem than ever before. There is no respect for anyone else in other encampments, neighbors who live near the event sites, and just general havoc.
Trust me, in PRP, we don't have those type of youngsters. We are a more older and gentler group.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the after hour fun of singing and such, but that's not why I'm in the group. I don't go for just the partying.
I'm there to entertain the public, I enjoy what I do, the after hours is not
something I feel that I have to be at, especially after a long, probably hot day in S. Calif.
Capt. McNamara is absolutely correct however, if all you do is show up for the drinking and party after hours and don't do anything all day long, stay home.

A person in our group just posted to our personal forum in PRP, claiming that she prefered to do the Ojai faire as opposed to others, because partying was allowed into the late hours of the night.
Now I couldn't help but respond with:
I don't go to events for the 'party' afterwards. I go and have the
party all day long entertaining the guests. If all a person goes to
an event for is the party afterwards, you're in the wrong group for
the wrong reasons.
So my question here is to those of you who do events, do you do it for the fun of the event, or for the partying afterwards?

Unfortunately when it comes to attaching hat trim not everyone's sewing machine can handle the thickness (I know mine can't). It's the ONLY thing I don't sew.
All of my costumes that I make with trims are sewn on.
I have seen one gal here in S. Calif. whom I know, who glued her jewels to the front of her Court dress and did a horrible job and it shows.
